Barnstable Waterview Homes

Whether overlooking a river, bay or watching the sun play on the ocean waves, water view living offers both seclusion and serenity. Barnstable is home to some of Cape Cod’s best beaches on the Nantucket Sound near Hyannis Harbor and Centerville. The area is also filled with a number of marshes, ponds and conservation lands.

The central part of town is dominated by homes nestled against the pines and oaks of Wequaquet Lake. To the northwest, the village of Marston Mills is known for herring runs as fish swim from the ocean to the villages’s many ponds, all with their own expanse of beach.

Osterville features stunning views of Oyster Bay as well as boat access and numerous ponds of its own. With so many different water view options, prospective home buyers find it surprisingly affordable in comparison to other resort areas to buy a Cape-style home near the water.
