About This Home

As of June 2024

Believe it or not summer is just around the corner, and Rainbow Cottage is ready to welcome you to the quintessential Cape Cod experience. Nestled less than a block away from a private beach on Cape Cod Bay, adjacent to Ellis Landing, this charming cottage offers proximity to the serene Brewster flats. Featuring two bedrooms and one bathroom, Rainbow Cottage exudes a timeless charm with its beautiful antique fireplace. The recently installed spacious outdoor shower adds a touch of modern convenience to your seaside retreat. Cap off your sun-soaked beach days by unwinding on the breezy screened front porch, where you can soak in the coastal breeze and the ambiance of this idyllic location. Rainbow Cottage comes fully furnished, providing you with a hassle-free getaway that captures the essence of Cape Cod's rich history and charm. Don't miss the opportunity to experience the Cape Cod of yesteryear in this delightful coastal haven. This property is legally considered to be a condo because it shares a septic system with #15 which is next door. There is no HOA. The two owners share the expense of pumping the septic every 3 years.
