If you’re seeking a vacation away from urban life, think about Wings Neck, an Airbnb lodging in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. This accommodation offers more than just a private beach—it features its very own lighthouse!
“Once in a lifetime experience to stay in a Lighthouse,” the Airbnb listing reads. “Historic, unique, and charming but with all of the conveniences that make a great vacation.”
The house once served as a U.S. Coast Guard lighthouse, ensuring the safety of boats approaching the coast. Visitors are welcome to use the spiral staircase to reach the top and enjoy an outstanding view of the Atlantic Ocean.
With hardwood floors, nautical decor, and splashes of navy blue that are as classic as the lighthouse, the house itself is a New England fantasy. The living area features a fieldstone fireplace that flows into the spacious kitchen. There is a “lobster pot” in the kitchen for any visitors who would like to prepare a meal in the Massachusetts tradition. Although the house has only three bedrooms, it has enough space for eight people thanks to the pull-out sofa in the family area.
The grounds of the house are accessible only to visitors through a private gate. This includes the exclusive beach, which is located directly in front of the lawn and is also used by a few homeowners nearby. Although you will undoubtedly feel like you are in another country, the village of Pocasset and its restaurants are only three short miles away, according to the owners.
“This is a magical place. The house and lighthouse are so cool, historical, and charming,” one recent guest wrote. “The gorgeous water views on all sides make it just incredible.”
“Absolutely amazing location and one of the most unique Airbnbs you’ll ever stay in,” another wrote. “Every day, you’ll wake up to sailboats, fishing boats, and massive tankers passing right off of the shore.”
The only drawback is that you will have to check out at some point. But before you leave, you can always make plans to come back. Rates for a night at Wings Neck start at $774 per night. Go to airbnb.com to learn more or reserve a place to stay.
