Windswept Cottage, brought to you by the Heart of Cape Cod, is a rare gem from the lost village of Billingsgate Island. Perched atop the private stairs to Campground Beach, this historic 4-bedroom retreat blends Cape Cod nostalgia with unbeatable bay views. From golden sunsets to salty breezes, every moment here feels like a memory in the making—perfect for those seeking a classic summer escape by the sea.
I respect the autonomy of my guests and can easily be reached by facetime, email, text, carrier pigeon, smoke signal, or yodeling.
Located at the end of a road just before dropping into the bay waters. We love our neighbors and respect the tranquility of the peaceful neighborhood, therefore, we do not allow parties or events at Windswept.

Brought to you by the Heart of Cape Cod, Windswept Cottage is a timeless summer retreat perched atop the stairs to Campground Beach — where salty breezes, sun washed days, and unforgettable sunsets over the bay become part of everyday life. Originally built on Billingsgate Island and floated across the water in 1905, this historic 4 bedroom home carries stories of the sea in every beam. Here you’ll feel the spirit of old Cape Cod — barefoot beach mornings, laughter in the yard, and cozy evenings around the table.
Wake to the sound of surf and the scent of salt air as sunlight spills into the airy living spaces. The refreshing bay breeze keeps things cool, while bedrooms with window AC units ensure restful nights for everyone. Step onto the deck to fire up the gas grill and watch the sun sink into amber horizons as friends and family gather for grilled dinners, stories, and summer toasts. After beach time, unwind in the spacious living room with a streaming Roku TV, or enjoy classic Cape Cod fun as swimsuits dry on the clothesline — a nostalgic tradition that never gets old.
Whether you’re building sandcastles on Campground Beach, biking the Cape Cod Rail Trail, or sampling seaside clams at Arnold’s, Windswept Cottage places you in the heart of summer magic.
