If you are nostalgic for Old Cape Cod or simply seek a blissfully uncomplicated getaway from a busy, urban lifestyle, you will savor the possibility of owning this six-room cottage on private Black Beach in West Falmouth. Situated on 1.6 acres with 153 feet of beach frontage immediately off the West-facing deck, this open-plan cottage harkens back to an era that prized quiet and relaxation over more complicated activities. This beachfront cottage is for the special buyer who values sunsets on Buzzards Bay over noisy nightspots, swimming over powerboats and sunshine over shopping. It is situated on a private road off the Chapoquoit Beach area where it invites you to unwind and enjoy summer at its fullest. At the same time, however, it's less than a mile to the center of West Falmouth services.
