This charming 1,500-square-foot cottage offers 134 feet of private beachfront on Cape Cod Bay, accessed by a walkway and stairs from an expansive back deck. The owners have substantially renovated the home, which has three first-floor bedrooms and a fourth that occupies the entire second floor — perfect for a commune of beach-tired kids.
