Summer is not very far now, and that will be the time of year when people would plan their holidays. For this reason, we have taken Cape Cod into consideration. It is a peninsula as well as a busy vacation destination in Massachusetts. The Atlantic has molded this landform to an interesting shape, and in present days, it looks like a giant fishing-hook from the sky. The notable places apart from the white-sand beaches would be Pilgrim Monument, The Heritage Museum and Gardens, Nauset Lighthouse, but perhaps the most lovable thing of this cape will forever be exploration.
Before planning your itinerary, you must first figure out where to stay. Luckily, you have many options, such as hotels on the beach or oceanfront rentals. If you prefer the latter, be sure to check out the best oceanfront Vrbo vacation rentals in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 19, 2025.
1. Beachfront condo unit with a private deck, Provincetown (from USD 368)

2. Well-lit property best for couples, Provincetown (from USD 331)
The second pick is the smallest property on our list, and we sense that it will fit best a couple, so here comes its description. The rental unit is a flat on a beachfront apartment, the lower decks of which opens to the seaside, apartment residence have their private direct access to the beach. Two wharves are nearby, so a couple can enjoy a romantic evening walk, although baiting a hook is still the most favorite thing to do on the wharf. The neighborhood this time is West End, which is a marketplace, thus stores and eateries should be a few steps from it. This condo has a 50-inch 4K smart television equipped with a Blu-ray player, and for the unlimited entertainment, guests will find an active streaming-service plan, and offline video library. The kitchen is contemporary and many amenities are provided.

Great location away from the downtown crowdsThe condo is located close to downtown but far enough away that it is really quietBike rentals are of course recommended for easy access to the beach and restaurantsWe actually walked it at least once a day as well (just for the slow walk to admire the neighborhood )Wonderful restaurants and shopping are closeRead more reviewsAmenities & Room:
The bed is comfortable bathroom is small but workable and the upstairs space is bright and also comfortableKitchen stalked with everything I needed Bedroom so quiet and comfortable bedGreat space with all amenitiesNo need to use your car KatrinaThe condo was super comfortable and bright with fantastic views right on the waterfront
3. Peaceful retreat with views of Nantucket Sound (from USD 564)
This option is situated by the Bucks Creek Lake, which is a quiet region in West Chatham, and there is not much entertainment accessible from this vacation home. If we have to list them all, only the satellite television and Wifi shall be written down. But even these two things would be pointless, as this place will appeal to just those who are in the quest of serene stay. And no! it’s not going to be a solitary experience, the populous zones of Chatham would still visible to you, just the trip to downtown will require a small drive. This rental property will give you large outdoor access, also the indoor is quite spacious, it can lodge four adults.

4. Inexpensive waterfront cottage on Monomoscoy Island (from USD 619)
This property is located on Monomoscoy Island, in Mashpee. This is also a waterfront rental situated directly at the banks of another cove. The interiors are just casual here, but the actual fun begins outside this house, as the cottage has a gorgeous open-air seating area. Its patio is set by the beach and the host has also placed a gas grill there. Some beach chairs are arranged around the lawn and dock, and since the seats are not too heavy, one can also customize this seating plan. The cottage can accommodate five guests, and therefore, this Mashpee location is preferred by families.

6. Perfect for long night walks on the beach, North Truro
This is not some beach looking property on the town’s street, but it’s a beach house built quite deeper into the white sandy beach of the Shore Road, in North Truro. This Cape Cod rental on the beach has ample room for the accommodation of six guests. Free amenities are a lot, and there is even an option to rent a kayak or boat directly from the host. For indoor recreation, guests would have cable television, books, games, and video library, but still, the spectacular feature of this rental option will be the convenience of long night-walks on these beaches.

Watch your beloved movies and play some board games with your family sitting next to its fireplace, or spend smooth vacations resting under its rustic pergola veranda.

This time, we are taking you to Eastham, and the proposed vacation rental is stationed here at the banks of Nauset Cove, the still water of this cove is perfect for kayaking, fishing, and swimming.

11. Affordable hut with a boat dock
This cottage is an extension of our third booking option ‘Anchorage on the Cove’, which is located in Eastham. And since we have already discussed the location, the explanation is not needed. However, two things are really bright about this cabin, first is that this little hut is set right in front of the wharf, and the kindest thing is that, it’s the most inexpensive lodging option of this list. It’s a tiny place, yet everything has been managed so well in here, which is why this cabin has a bed plan of four adults. Surprisingly, this little cottage comes with all the general features. Look no further, if you’re looking for a budget rental in Cape Cod.

12. For those who seek upscale arrangements, Barnstable
This is the most expensive option on our list, and the place has all the reasons to stay elite. It’s a true three-story modern bungalow that has everything upscaled. Take it or leave it, but just scroll through the images of this villa, not just the interiors are spectacular here but the exteriors are picture-perfect too. Then, there is a grass lawn with wide patio space. This place is situated in Barnstable, so the entire Cape Cod peninsula will be at your disposal. Hyannis should be within a few minutes’ drive for immediate needs. The house has all the general comfort, entertainment, and safety features, and a total of six guests can stay here.

Don’t miss a chance to visit these locations
The peninsula is vast and beautiful, and we understand that you would like to spend all days of your vacation in and around these wonderful oceanfront accommodations. But still, we would like you to spare at least a day from your holiday schedule to visit the following picturesque places while you’re still here. Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket are two islands which are equally gorgeous. Year-round ferries are available too, and Falmouth should be the best location to catch those rides.
