Pilgrim Retreat

You'll be a quarter-mile stroll from the beautiful - and private - Manomet Beach when you escape to this charming home in Plymouth. Spend your days collecting seashells, taking out the provided kayak, and coming home to a lovely outdoor space for barbecuing and relaxing in the salty sea air. This two-story home is half of a duplex, with a separate apartment located on the property as well (there are two sets of connecting doors between the two that remain locked). In addition to being a short walk from Manomet Beach, you'll be close to several ponds, conservation areas, golf courses, and the heart of historic Plymouth (nine miles). After a day of exploring, return home to make use of the tree-lined outdoor space. Rinse off in the outdoor shower, sear local seafood on the gas grill, and watch your kids play in the grass. There's even a firepit on the property for roasting marshmallows at sunset. Inside, the house is charming and comfortable, with wide-plank wood floors and details of exposed wood and stone adding warmth and character. There's a well-equipped kitchen, a living room with plush seating and a TV (with cable and streaming capability), and several tables where you can set up a favorite board game. There are three bedrooms upstairs, including one with its own balcony. Additional features of the house include a home office (which can also be used as a sleeping space), a laundry room, window AC, and complimentary WiFi. Things to Know
