They also have a laundromat on site. There are a few studio efficiencies, no stoves in these but there are decks on both the front and back, so you can catch the sun rise over the ocean, and sunset over the river. Charcoal grills are available in the yard; you provide the charcoal and maybe some aluminum foil for the grill. There are several two bedroom houses and a few 3 bedrooms. The houses have full kitchens. We usually bring plenty of food: prepared if we are staying in an efficiency so we can heat them up in the microwave. The kitchens have a table large enough for the number of guests each house sleeps. The living room has sofa's, comfy chair, end tables, coffee table and TV. In the summer there are fans. In the winter there is a gas fireplace. Most everything you would need in the kitchen is provided: plates, cups, flatware, coffee maker, toaster, pans, spatula for cooking, mixing bowl, cutting board, etc. It's often mismatched, but it's all there. Sometimes there are a couple of wine glasses too. I usually bring a few items of my own, like my coffee cup, just because I prefer my own, as well as storage items like aluminum foil or plastic storage bags and paper towels. If I haven't pre-prepped food I plan to cook, I'll bring my own chef's knife as those are not provided. Basically anything I want to be sure of, I bring. They provide dish towels, sponge and dish soap. The bathroom has soap and toilet paper. The office provides sheets and towels. The guests are required to clean before leaving: sweep floors, vacuum carpets, wash dishes and put them away, strip the beds. The staff will clean the restrooms and leave new linens for the next guests. Towels can be delivered daily if needed. Just call the office. The cliff face is eroding and some of the RV parking spots have fallen into the ocean as has the roadway, which once made a loop along the cliff, creating two dead-end streets. The beach on the river side is stones that have been placed there to help reduce erosion. If you walk toward the river on the left side of this beach (it's a 'cove beach'), the area becomes more sandy. If you continue around to the left, you can walk along the river and marshlands. There are picnic tables 'here and there' provided by 4th cliff. We sometimes bring our coffee down here in the early mornings. Additionally, you can walk along the beach, around the end of the cliff, to the ocean side of the property. Once you get past the cliff face, the beach is sandy, although there may be a number of rocks in the water. Because of the rockiness of the beach areas in general, do bring your water shoes to save your toes. This ocean facing beach is used by homeowners along Central Ave. and there is plenty of space for everyone. At low tide, you can wander around the rocky areas and find all kinds of sea creatures in among the stones. The recreation area includes a small shop in the office building for things you may have forgotten and souvenirs, however, during the pandemic, the office is not open to guests. If you are military, this is a pleasant spot for a vacation along the water. Located in the little village of Humarock, within Scituate, there is a small restaurant where Central Ave meets Marshfield Ave. You can grab a morning coffee, breakfast or lunch here. A small 'beach shop' to get the floats, souvenirs and other things you may want is locate across the street on the other side of the intersection (think diagonally). Access to the public beach is here, however parking is not abundant, so maybe bring your bikes and take the ride down if you'd like to use this beach access. There is an Irish pub just a little further along on Marshfield Ave and a larger restaurant on the other side of the bridge where Marshfield Ave turns into Sea Street. (Check their policy during Covid - they may be 'take out' only) There is a convenience store/liquor store in this area. A grocery store is on Rt 139 at the intersection of Furnace St. And if those restaurants are not enough for you, drive into Scituate for one of the many food options they have available. We also make it a point to stop for a walk at one of the many Audubon or conservation areas nearby. There is a lighthouse in Scituate, and a marina on the North River where you can stop for a beverage and light meal while sitting outdoors on the river if that appeal to you. Plenty to keep you busy.

Packed, soft sand; minimal broken shells; minimal rocks; warm, gentle water that rolls toward the shore. I still miss the waves of my childhood beaches, but now I've found a place where I can walk on the sand without having to worry about getting a hypodermic needle shoved up my foot. Warning: resident parking only, sadly. Make a friend in the area so you can borrow their driveway.

Drank way too much bubble tea on the way down and had horrific flashbacks of beach restrooms past but found these facilities to be clean and amazingly well kept. The water was shallow and warm for a long swim! Soft soft sand, friendly beach goers and 2 parked ice cream trucks nearby = happy happy me. Now I understand the etymology of the word 'gull-less'. Freakin' seagulls walked right up to our bags and stole our snacks. Next time I bring my air rifle. Bring it on you food snatching pea brains!

Great place to run or walk or bike. On weekends, check to see if any race is going on, because you could potentially get trampled by bicycles or runners.

This is lazy and disrespectful. But I do go in there often.

I called the day before to confirm we could rent a kayak for 2 adults and take our toddler. I was happy with the social distancing measures they had in place. They had a sign to please wear a mask and keep space. Once you rented your kayak you had to wait to go on the dock until the party in front of you had left. They requested you sign the waiver online so there was no handing out of pens and paper. We lucked out with the weather the day we went because the water was fairly calm. You could head over to worlds end, get out a swim if you wanted and there was a few other places to get out. Overall great experience, we will definitely be back.
