Come About Cottage | Historic Charm, Wraparound Porch & Walk to the Beach Step into a slice of coastal history at this lovingly preserved 1900s cottage in Wareham, where salt air and timeless charm greet you at every turn. Just a short stroll from Point Independence Beach, this inviting home is your gateway to classic Cape Cod living. Spend sun-soaked days kayaking along calm waters with the provided gear, splashing in the surf, or enjoying easygoing lawn games under the open sky. As the day winds down, the home’s signature wraparound porch becomes your front-row seat to golden hour—rocking chairs gently swaying, conversations lingering, and the pace of life slowing to a whisper. Originally built in 1900 as one of the area’s earliest homes—and once a humble fishing retreat—this cottage carries its history with grace. Today, it places you close to all the local favorites: beach days at Point Independence, live music and seaside fun at Onset Beach, family thrills at Water Wizz, and convenient access to the Bourne Bridge. Outside, the home feels like a nostalgic postcard come to life. Enjoy morning coffee on the porch, fire up the gas grill for casual lunches, or relax on the wicker seating while the kids play in the yard. There’s plenty of space to gather, dine, and soak in the coastal breeze. Inside, thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with original character. The open living space invites connection—perfect for movie nights, board games, and shared meals. The well-equipped kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances and an additional kitchenette, makes cooking a breeze, with dining options at the breakfast bar, formal table, or alfresco on the porch. The home offers three bedrooms, including one on the main level and two upstairs with cozy, slightly lower ceilings (6’5”), adding to the cottage’s vintage feel. Modern comforts like window AC units, WiFi, and a washer/dryer ensure a comfortable stay. Whether you’re chasing beach days, quiet mornings, or a touch of old Cape magic, Come About Cottage is ready to welcome you.
