About this house rental
LOWER RATES NOW THRU OCTOBER AND 2-NIGHT MINIMUM - BOOK NOW!
Onset is a charming coastal town known as the "Gateway to Cape Cod" as it is the last town before crossing the bridge to the Cape. Centrally located between Boston and Rhode Island and only 20 minutes to historic Plymouth, it a convenient location from which to explore New England. 6-minute drive to Mass Maritime Academy. Less than 15-20 minute drive to upper Cape Cod: Bourne, Falmouth, Sandwich. And just over 30 minutes to Mid-Cape towns such as Hyannis, Dennis, and Yarmouth. (Times do not factor in traffic conditions)
For families members having trouble with stairs, there is one bedroom and full bath on the first floor as well as a sleeper sofa in living room.
Very short walk to Onset Village (family-owned restaurants and year-round festivals) and pristine Onset Beach. Open floor plan on main floor perfect for vacations, Cape Cod wedding guests, and out of town family. There is a small neighborhood beach 4 houses down that is perfect for families with young children. Then a larger beach another 4 houses down. Onset is on Buzzard's Bay so the water here is warmer and calmer than typical ocean tides and has soft sandy beaches (less rocks but great shell collecting). Walk to kayak and boat rentals, Cape Cod Canal Cruises, and the Water Wizz seasonal water park is only a 5-minute drive.
We have received many compliments on the coastal theme, providing a relaxing retreat as soon as you walk through the door. Gorgeous wrap around covered porch to enjoy your morning coffee, evening cocktail or gaze upon Onset's spectacular, colorful sunsets. Turn on the fairy lights for added sparkle at night. Loaded with amenities: hot/cold outdoor shower, beach cart, beach chairs, beach towels, cooler, patio, gas grill, full kitchen & laundry, indoor fireplace, jetted bathroom tub, and all bedrooms and living room are equipped with smart TVs.
There is a lounge area outside for anyone wanting quiet time in the coastal air (or teen refuge) with a good book or simply an afternoon nap amongst the outdoor decor and seashell landscaping. Ever wanted to test a Tempur-Pedic mattress before purchasing? This is the ideal opportunity as the downstairs bedroom has a new one for you to try. Enjoy our coffee/tea bar with to-go cups to fuel up and begin your adventures. Pack and Play, toddler utensils, booster seat and childrens books available onsite. Two private parking spaces in the driveway and street parking on a first come basis. Set up with everything you need for a short or long-term stay.
The Zandy Castle, is named after my mother Sandy. It was built in 1880 - exterior Victorian charm with a modern interior. Onset was a seaside resort in the Victorian era for wealthy Bostonians. You will still see Victorian homes sprinkled around town today. The Zandy Castle was presented with a plaque from the Wareham Historical Society which recognizes historical homes with unique period architecture.
Since we want you to truly relax and enjoy your vacation, there is no laundry list of "chores" to do before checking out. Afterall, isn't THAT what the cleaning fee is for?
Your stay at the Zandy Castle is our top priority and we will go out of our way to ensure you have an amazing experience! Though it is only a short drive to the upper Cape, you can enjoy all the benefits of a Cape Cod vacation without the crowds and the traffic. As the locals say "it is better before the bridge".

The Zandy Castle is an excellent home to book for a visit to the Cape Cod area on vacation. We initially booked because the location in Onset was a more quiet alternative to staying directly within Cape Cod while still being very close and easily being able to cross the bridge to the Cape. The home is exactly as described in the listing and it exceeded our expectations. There is more than enough space for the 6 adults and 2 small children and the amenities are fantastic. The care and quality given to restoring this beautiful Victorian era home are evident throughout and you can expect all of the modern conveniences here. For those wishing to spend time at the beach the home provides four (4) beach chairs, an umbrella, and a great wagon to help carry it all to the beach of your choice. There are also a lot of beach towels available so no need to pack your own, a big bonus. There is a small one just four houses away and two others within a ½ mile of the home. These are all great beaches with no wave action making them perfect for our three-year old grandson to enjoy and play in the water without concern for the challenges associated with an ocean beach. There were many restaurants within easy walking distance and the hosts were extremely helpful with suggestions. The host provided us with great information about the area and specific recommendations for a few specialty restaurants we were looking to try. The communication was excellent. Our only regret was we had just 4 nights.

We have stayed at 4 VRBO properties in Onset. This was by far the best decorated, most comfortable, best equipped home we have been to. Location is fine - just a short walk to the village. Parking can be a real problem in Onset, but this property has an excellent driveway which easily accommodates 2 cars (people familiar with Onset will recognize this as a very valuable convenience).
5.0 / 5.0
The home is exactly as it appears on the listing. The beds were very comfortable and anything you may need is in the home.
Onset is a very cute little town and the main town center is in walking distance. Anything else you may want to see in or around Cape Cod is very drivable. We visited Plymouth one day and Falmouth another day. The other day we stayed in Onset and enjoyed a canal cruise and the beach. Great visit to the area and Melissa was one of the most thorough, helpful and responsive hosts I have ever worked with.

Highly recommend. Ours was a short stay but everything was beyond our expectations. Easy to check in and out. Very clean, beds were comfortable, lots of towels, pillows, blankets. Lots of small, nice touches. First aid kits, flashights, shampoo, toothpaste, shampoo, condiments, coffee bar. We will definitely book again!

We stayed for a week in early August 2023. The house was adorable, immaculate, and very well appointed. The host, Melissa, aims for a 5-star hotel-like experience and it's very close, except there is no chef unfortunately :)
The neighborhood was cute and close to the beach. Sometimes we walked, sometimes road our bikes, and sometimes drove and parked in the parking right by the beach. Had to get there prior to 10 am on sunny days to get a parking place.
Thanks for a great week!

Zandy Castle is a stunningly beautiful Victorian house that has been newly renovated. Once you step in, it was both warm and inviting. It was extremely clean and spacious. The decor was tastefully done and represented the Cape as a whole. The outdoor space was also a pleasant surprise. It includes a wrap-around porch, grilling area, outdoor shower, and two sitting areas. Zandy Castle comes equipped with pretty much everything that you need both inside and out. For example, kitchen supplies, lots of towels, shampoo, toiletries, an umbrella, extra lawn chairs, and a wagon just to name a few. 'It was like a home away from home.' It is situated in a great area with helpful friendly neighbours. Melissa who was our contact, was a gracious host. She was a great communicator. She answered all of our questions in a timely manner and had great recommendations. Our family had a great time and we would definitely recommend staying here!!

This property was perfectly suited for our family. It was an excellent hub for all the activities we had planned to include a day at Nantucket, a day in Boston, and a day in Dennis Massachusetts parasailing. Our only regret is that we didn’t carve out enough time to spend a full day touring and enjoying Onset Beach, which is something we will plan to do in the future! The beds were extremely comfortable, and there wasn’t anything that we needed. That wasn’t already there. Thank you so much and we look forward to staying at Zandy Castle once again! Thanks.

The house is beautifully decorated and has everything we needed including coffee bar, beach accessories and super comfortable beds. The shower upstairs is huge and so nice that shampoo, conditioner and body wash were supplied. Plenty of plush towels were provided for us to use. The owner was very easy to contact and told us of some great local restaurants. The beach is literally few houses away and just over the stone bridge is the main beach. It was a very enjoyable and relaxing vacation at Zandy Castle!
5.0 / 5.0
Perfect location and a clean, charming property to explore Onset, Cape Cod and Boston. Every amenity needed was at our disposal and the host was very flexible and checked in several times during our stay.
