What a fabulous vacation we had! I stayed at the Boathouse with my 4-year-old Weimaraner, Lola. When we drove up, Larry & King were there to greet us and give us a tour of the property. The property was immaculate and had everything we needed to enjoy a wonderful waterfront vacation complete with 2 kayaks, a Stand-up Paddle board, a canoe & a zodiac. The outdoor area had a fire pit that unfortunately we never used even though Larry cut up some firewood for us! The property is peaceful and the view of the water was so calming. I enjoyed the kayak & the SUP. The location at the end of a dirt road allowed Lola to be able to be off leash which she loved! I can not say enough how welcoming Larry & King were - it made our vacation so special! We will definitely be back for another visit - hopefully in the fall!

Between the location of the boat house (close to everything) kayaks, canoe, amazing view from the porch, beautiful sunrise's, all the amenities you need and again, the fabulous hosts, this was a perfect getaway for us! Thank you again Larry and King for making our getaway awesome, we will definitely be back!

"We had the best week!! Loved our location and the ability to kayak and paddle board literally right outside the front door. Awesome location. Central to everything but down an old dirt road so you felt like you were on a retreat. Can’t say enough about Larry. One of the nicest people we have ever met. Very accommodating and respectful. King was a wonderful added benefit. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!"

Laurance's Vrbo is in the middle of the Cape--great distance from downtown areas, Ptown, and beaches! He is a wonderful host that gave a full run-down of the place, leaving no details missed! Lives right next door for any needs. Very detail oriented--e.g. complimentary water for hard water on the Cape and iron! Gave such wonderful recommendations and had the best time kayaking out on the water. Thank you so much! :)

The small but very comfortable lft of a boat house was perfect for my husband and myself, along with our small, well behaved dog. The kitchen was well- equipped, the bedroom had a comfortable king sized bed and there are water views on three sides. Our host provided us with information like dog friendly beaches and restaurants. We had a
great time and hope to return. host hhelped

Laurance is very helpful and easy-going. He welcomed our dog, was quick to respond whenever we had a question, and never felt over-bearing or like he was prying while we were enjoying his home. The property has a small launch area for entering the water and ample space for hanging out. Our favorite feature of the boathouse is being able to look out over the water from almost anywhere in the house. The kitchen has everything you need, and Laurance has provided an outdoor grill. There were no issues with cleanliness in the house. There were also two AC units that help keep us comfortable inside. We hope to come back to visit soon, we absolutely enjoyed the boathouse and getting to know Laurance.

Had an amazing stay at the boat house loft. The location can't be beat. The view is incredible. Minutes to the beaches, bike trails and everything else. Kayaking the pond is a great option and lets you enjoy the plentiful waterfowl in the area. Perfect place for a couple. Only complaint would be the water pressure on the shower was low. A cozy place in a perfect location.

A waterfront location equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Host Laurance is nearby and available when and if you need him, and invisible when you don't. Besides having a kitchen with most everything you'll need, and a bedroom with a large flat-screen TV, you will find lots of outdoors bonuses at no extra charge. You've got a BBQ with two propane tanks, seating and tables, a Zodiac rowboat, two kayaks and a standup paddle board. Centrally-located on the Cape, easy access to stores and restaurants, but otherwise a little paradise hideaway. Our dog loved it, and so did we!

I was thrilled to find this waterfront gem of a place at the last minute
5.0
Me, my partner and our dog really enjoyed our stay here! Laurance Is very kind, gave us a very thorough tour of the place in the amenities and some suggestions for things to do with our dog. The Dirt road to the place is not too bad at least when it's dry, probably any SUV or even a sedan with enough clearance should have zero issues with it. well we didn't get around to using any of the outdoor amenities besides the fireplace, it was nice to have them as an option in case we just wanted to stay and hang out at the place. But since we were there for just a weekend we prioritized getting to see lots of other places. We found the place pretty clean and comfortable and the ample windows and Pond views were very amazing and relaxing. This was a great find both for location and price and for having booked it basically two weeks before our trip when there was basically nothing else available within our price range . Would love to come back for a longer day!

The Cape Cod Boathouse is a delightful vacation spot, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Situated conveniently by the water, it boasts direct access to a the water, including a rowboat and kayaks ensuring that you can fully enjoy the serene beauty of Swan Pond.
One of the standout features is the easy access to the water. Whether you're keen on taking a leisurely rowboat ride or simply dipping your toes in the pond, the boathouse makes it effortless.
The availability of various water toys, such as kayaks, paddle-board and rowboat, adds a fun and engaging element to the stay. These amenities are perfect for couples looking to explore Swan Pond at their own pace.
The boathouse offers picturesque views of the pond, making it an ideal spot for relaxation. Morning sunrises and evening sunsets over the water provide a tranquil backdrop for your stay.
The boathouse is well-equipped with modern amenities to ensure a comfortable stay. Clean, cozy, and thoughtfully furnished, it feels like a home away from home.
There are ample outdoor spaces, where you can enjoy meals, read a book, or simply take in the natural surroundings.
While the boathouse offers a secluded and peaceful setting, it is also conveniently located near local attractions, restaurants, and shops, allowing guests to explore the charm of Cape Cod easily.

Listing photos were accurate. This is a cute older boat house on a salt water pond fed by the ocean. Our stay was what we expected. Laurence the property manager was super nice and friendly. We picked this property because we were traveling with our dog and we also loved that it had kayaks etc available on site not to mention a beautiful pond water view. It was perfect for our stay for a week on the Cape during the 4th of July. We would definitely stay here again. Everything was very thoughtful and detail oriented for our stay. It felt fairly secluded for a busy time on the cape given it being a holiday week. Thanks Laurence for a great stay!

Larry our host was right there to greet us. Made sure we know where everything was. Very friendly.The boat loft was very quaint. Peaceful right on a nice big pond.
We would go back again the next time we go to the cape.
Thanks again Larry.

We were looking for a friendly place where our pup would be welcomed and we could do what we needed to do. We needed to rest, be quiet, recuperate with nature and sleep!

Our second time staying at the Boat Loft. Had a wonderful getaway from the hustle and bustle of work. The inside definitely could use a touch up, but the location and price can not be beat. The view from the front room out over Swan Lake is magical. You feel as if you are floating along, watching so many fowl floating and flying by. We spent most days kayaking the lake, meandering our way down the river and ending up relaxing on the sandy ocean beach, just watching the waves roll by! Then a return trip back up the river for a great dinner either from the local seafood restaurant or grilled outside on the BBQ. Our two pups enjoyed coming with us on the trip which makes it even that more memorable!! The campfires at night with coyotes howling in the near distance was so awe inspiring too. Then of course meeting King the owners dog, what a magnificent looking dog and oh so sweet! I would highly recommend the Boat Loft if you are trying to find a gem hidden in the rough.

Our host, Laurance (and of course, his wonderful dog king), at the boathouse loft was exceptional.
Larry is very personable and very responsive to any issues or concerns you might have. He gives you a wonderful tour of the place upon arrival and is a long-term resident of the Cape and therefore is full of valuable information and potential activities you can do to further enhance your stay at Cape Cod. He also created a a protected and secure space in the boat house for our bikes, which worked out great. He also supplies kayaks (just one of the many amenities there) which we used to enjoy the pond/river and all its wildlife.
The loft has a great view of the pond, the bedroom is one of its highlights with a king size bed and large smart TV, the kitchen is well equipped and the dryer came in very handy.

Cozy loft w great pond views. Egrets, kingfisher, heron, swans are some of the birds we spotted. Private. Adult water toys! Host interesting and attentive. Big dog King is 150lb of love. Our dog still looks around when we ask ‘Where’s King?’ Loved the place and the company.
1.0
Shabby place with great view. Pond is fine, as is proximity to beaches. “End of charming winding dirt road” translated to owner living 20 feet from door. Funky quickly realized to be grimy. Corners of kitchen populated by past food crumbs, dust and various hair samples. Counters needed fresh scrub. Ants in the cupboard. We could not get consensus on whether sheets were actually clean, distracted as we were by sun lotion stains, or whether they had simply been washed in cold salt water. No confusion, however, regarding ingrained filth of chin end of bed coverlet. Dust under bed had not been disturbed in years. Water pressure in shower was marginal and floor was slippery, and although owner graciously provided jugs of water for drinking, the brackish (read “very salty”) shower water meant never quite getting clean. Lesson learned: always go with a managed facility, to ensure a more identifiable standard of basic cleanliness

This vacation rental was very comfortable.
The rental is a loft studio apartment with air conditioning and great views of the water.
Included is a private side yard and beach area with 2 kayaks, a paddle board, a canoe, and a zodiac rowboat. Great outdoor space with umbrella table & chairs, lounge chairs, and love seat there is even a fireplace.
Central location minutes away from restaurants, shopping, and beaches.
This is a private quiet location and the host Lawrence is available to help with any questions.
My wife and I spent a week and plan to return later in the year on another Cape Cod Adventure.

Larry met us when we arrived, gave us the tour, and necessary details of the boathouse. He was helpful in offering information about local spots too. Very accommodating regarding our two dogs. Larry provided spring water as the water is not drinkable due to the source for that area. The stairs are steep so if you are elderly or physically limited, it may not be your spot. Great experience.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Boat House Loft so much! I can’t say enough good things about our hosts Larry and King (the cutest biggest sweetest dog!! So many wonderful cuddles with him!) who made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. My husband and I were looking for a quiet, relaxing and peaceful getaway with our dog and this was it. Larry made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It’s good to know that the water on the cape does come from an underground river so be prepared that the water in the Boat House may not be something your used to but Larry prepped us well and made sure we had ample fresh water and multiple gallons on hand for anything we would need. In addition to providing a cozy place to stay, Larry directed us to great places to visit around the cape - especially places that were dog friendly! The water views are so beautiful to wake up to every morning and it was so much fun to use the kayaks and explore the area. Our dog truly had a blast getting to swim in the pond with us! The bed was super comfortable and on rainy mornings it was so nice to cuddle up together and watch the rain through the windows. Overall, I cannot recommend The Boat House Loft enough!

When visiting the Cape we search out unusual properties. This Boathouse fit the bill and did not disappoint! Old Cape Cod charm at its best. Sitting on the point of a serene cove we enjoyed the scenic view and cool breezes. From the original built-ins to the super comfy king size bed, this boathouse has everything you would need and more. The owner Laurance was such a pleasure, explained everything and gave great ideas for our visit. Will definitely visit again if available!

Beautiful views with everything you need from water accessories and more. Quiet spot and easily accessible to restaurants and shopping.
Our host greeted us and ran through the loft which was great!

Tough to beat seeing the sunrise across the lake while still in bed. We did not have time to take advantage of water options but had a comfortable stay in using the loft as our base camp.
