Coast has represented 184 beach houses, dune cottages and shingle-style waterfronts across the East End, Cape Cod and the North Fork since 2012. We list by the calendar, not the month.
A 2,840-sqft Cape cottage on the bay side of Truro, hand-shingled in 2018, with a screened porch built around a 90-year-old beach plum tree.
220 feet of oceanfront, primary-dune position, 4,840 sqft single-story shingle. Two outdoor showers, an east-facing breakfast deck and a guest cottage out back.
Three things we do that the year-round brokerages do not.
We shoot oceanfront houses across two summer weekends — low tide for the beach line, high tide for the deck. Maja Nilsen leads. Most listings show one tide. We show both.
FEMA flood zone, NOAA 30-year erosion projection, current insurance carriers and rates. All of it in the brochure. Buyers respect honesty more than they respect omission.
We list private to our 1,427-strong summer-renter book the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. 31% of our 2025 sales closed before the public listing went up.
Beach houses are seasonal businesses. Most brokerages treat them like any other house. We do not.
Maja shot the deck at 4:40am, the dune at noon, the kitchen at golden hour. The brochure made the house look the way it actually feels in August.
"We took 31 listings last year and turned down 102. The summer is short. We owe it to every house and every buyer to give it the days it deserves."
Commission and inclusions, plainly. The flood brief is always included.
For cottages and bay-side houses ready for the summer market.
