Wianno House | Rare Osterville Waterfront Compound - Private Beach, Dock, Hot Tub & Sunset View

8 Bedroom House in Wianno, Barnstable

Welcome to Anchor to Windward, a private waterfront retreat in the heart of Osterville. Set on two acres overlooking West Bay, this special property features a private beach, deep-water dock, spectacular west-facing sunsets, and two separate homes with 8 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms — offering plenty of space for families and groups of up to 20 to gather, relax, and enjoy Cape Cod.
The property includes a five-bedroom Main House and a separate three-bedroom Boat House directly by the water. The two-house layout is ideal for multigenerational family vacations and larger groups, giving everyone their own space while keeping the entire group together on one private property.
Spend your mornings swimming, kayaking, or paddleboarding from the beach, afternoons relaxing by the water, and evenings gathering for dinner on the waterfront patio before watching the sun set over West Bay. End the night in the seven-person hot tub overlooking the water.
THE PROPERTY
Main House — 5 Bedrooms
The Main House is designed for gathering, with bright, comfortable living spaces and beautiful views of West Bay throughout the home.
The waterfront sunroom is a favorite place to enjoy morning coffee, read a book, or watch the sunset. The fully equipped kitchen offers plenty of space for preparing meals for a group and opens to the family room and billiards area. Multiple indoor and outdoor dining and living spaces make it easy for everyone to spend time together without feeling crowded.
The Main House includes five bedrooms, all with water views, along with beautifully appointed bathrooms, air conditioning, laundry facilities, and an additional refrigerator.
Boat House — 3 Bedrooms
Just steps from the beach, the separate three-bedroom Boat House offers additional privacy and its own living space while keeping guests close to the Main House.
It's an ideal setup for grandparents, another family, older children, or anyone who appreciates having a little extra space during a group vacation. With the water right outside, the Boat House offers the quintessential Cape Cod experience.
WATERFRONT LIVING
The waterfront is what makes Anchor to Windward truly special.
Enjoy your own private beach on West Bay, swim directly from the property, launch a kayak or paddleboard, or spend the afternoon relaxing by the water. A deep-water dock provides direct access to the bay, while the outdoor shower and beach changing areas make coming and going from the water easy.
At the end of the day, gather around the teak outdoor dining table for dinner overlooking the bay, relax in the seven-person hot tub, or simply settle in to watch the sunset — the property's western exposure makes for spectacular evenings over the water.

Summary: Exceptional beach retreat in Osterville walking distance to town. Perfect for our family reunion with a large kitchen, plenty of places to gather and eat from formal to informal to outside on the patio with a view of the sunset. Access to the water meant no need to go to the town beach (though we did). Very charming family home with lots of character and plenty of places to both gather and play cards or retreat to read a book.
