KEY Curation Notes

Private heated pool, hot tub, and private tennis court in a fully fenced backyard on Sea View Ave — one of Osterville's most prestigious streets, just steps from the Nantucket Sound beach access across the road. The combination of on-site amenities and immediate beach proximity is the defining feature of this property.
Beach directly across the street; Dowses Beach under a mile away with a pass provided — the beach across Sea View Ave is a Sound-side association beach; Dowses Beach is the area's most popular stretch. Both are walkable without a car.
All four bedrooms are en-suite — king primary on the main floor, plus three en-suite bedrooms upstairs arranged around a water-view TV room. Four and a half baths total for twelve occupants is a genuinely favorable ratio. The screened porch with TV adds a comfortable third living space beyond the main floor and upstairs lounge.
Osterville Village is under a mile away on foot — boutique shops, waterfront dining, the harbor, and the Oyster Harbors marina are all within easy reach without a car. The location works as well for walkers as it does for drivers.
Gourmet kitchen with island, gas grill, fire pit, and all linens included — beach towels, beach toys, and a cooler are provided. Full-size bath amenities in each bathroom. KEY.co can arrange grocery delivery before arrival so the kitchen is stocked from check-in.
