The Black Rock Beach House
Perks for the Parents
The house is well set up for a family (or two!) to stay, with multiple living and dining spaces and an expansive outdoor lawn. The hosts have 3 children and are used to comfortably hosting friends and their families for extended stays here. One of the biggest draws is the location - just steps from the pebbly Black Rock Beach - which means you won’t need to get everyone into the car every time the kids want to go to the water. It’s also just 3 minutes’ drive to Sandy Beach, the iconic Cohasset town beach with a large snack bar.
Why Kids Love it
The property has a beautiful lawn, with lawn games and nets for family competitions. The garage is stocked with beach toys, and there’s a dedicated den/playroom with toys, books and games and a TV for chill out time. Kids will have their own space to relax - there are 2 other separate living rooms and a dining room for the grown-ups. Don't miss Friday night family picnic/pizza nights at Sandy Beach!
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 7 nights in summer, 3 nights at other times. Safety notes: given the age of the home, there are uneven floors in several areas (in particular upstairs). Please note that pets are not permitted. Events and parties of any kind are strictly prohibited. We maintain a quiet, respectful environment for our guests and neighbors.
About the Location
The house is located directly across the street from Black Rock Beach in Massachusetts. It’s around 40 minutes from Boston airport by car. There’s also a ferry that goes between Hingham and Hull (10 minutes’ drive) and downtown Boston and Logan Airport, so you can go for a day trip out to the city (and see the Red Sox!). Head up to the Paragon Carousel on Nantusket Beach (5 minutes’ drive) or take a trip over to World’s End (10 minutes’ drive) for hiking trails with views over the city skyline.
Accommodation Details
The house has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, set over 2 floors. The downstairs features a gourmet kitchen with top of the line appliances (Wolf, Bosch), spacious living room with TV, cocktail lounge, dining room (with a table to seat 10-12), an office/library, den/playroom, plus 1 full bathroom with a shower/bath and 1 powder room. Upstairs, you’ll find 5 bedrooms: a primary bedroom with a kingsize bed, TV and ensuite bathroom, another kingsize bedroom + ensuite, plus 2 queensize bedrooms and a great kids room with 1 queen bed and a set of bunk beds. This floor also has a shared family bathroom with tub and shower.
Style Notes
It has been thoughtfully updated by the current hosts with coastal designer furnishings, organic Avocado mattresses and Parachute/Serena & Lily designer bedding for a comfortable stay. The spacious lot offers exquisite stonework, patios, and gardens where you can enjoy the ocean breeze. We love the ceiling beams in the kitchen area, the rustic wooden textures used in the living rooms and the beautiful window seat in the bedroom.
