Just Breathe! Imagine that you are on an

island with incredible boating, swimming and shellfishing and views all around you. NO cars, NO stores, NO solicitors,

just welcoming neighbors, mini swap library, field days, movie nights, quiet foot traffic. Island views of Onset Bay and the Cape Cod Canal. And, yes, a few young entrepreneurs eager to ferry you to the mainland (just a few hundred feet) or pick up a Sunday paper for you. Now picture yourself summering in this delightful elevated cottage turnkey and easy care, pretty views, a delightful covered patio with porch swing, perennial garden and enclosed outdoor shower room. You are feeling better already, right?

One of about 45 homes on a private island yet very close to shore for access to conveniences.

Cottage Highlights:

  • Waterviews
  • Covered Patio with Swing
  • Outdoor shower with dressing room
  • Perennial Garden
  • No Bridge or Cape Traffic

From the island you get amazing sunrises over the Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge and sunsets over Wicket’s Island. View the Fireworks and Illumination Nights from the island beaches.

Onset Islanders Association: Owners are members. $350 annually. Common areas and amenities include: Playground, Firehouse, Mainland and on island dinghy docks (14 ft. maximum). Golf cart for accessibility use, footpaths, almost a mile of island shoreline.

Island Residents: The Community hosts a variety of get togethers. Typical events include potluck, suppers, movie night, karaoke, crafts for kids, field days, 4th of July cart decorating contest and parade and Labor Day Fair and a book swap mini library. No winter activities are planned since there are not “many” year round residents here.

Over the years the “island kids” have had the run of the island and have shown an entrepreneurial spirit providing services such as Sunday paper delivery, hauling water, running a candy store and acting as water taxis to and from the island.

Current owner has a parking space which can be transferred to the new owner at a fee of $75.00 annually.

Moorings: Islanders can use their own mooring – no wait lists here on the island, goes with the sale.

SHOWINGS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY AND WEATHER CONDITIONAL. Boat transfers will be arranged.
