This Massachusetts Lighthouse Rental Offers a Dreamy Overnight Experience

I have loved lighthouses for as long as I can remember. There is something so romantic and mysterious about these majestic beacons of light that I am forever drawn to them. There are roughly 50 lighthouses in Massachusetts, and I’ve been lucky to have visited several, even climbing to the top of a few. What I have yet to experience, however, is the adventure of spending the night in a lighthouse. I hope to soon turn this bucket list dream into a reality by booking an unforgettable getaway at the Wings Neck Lighthouse in Pocasset, Massachusetts.

The historic Wings Neck Lighthouse is one of the most unique Airbnbs in Massachusetts. Whether you are a hopeless romantic or a nautical history buff, you will find that a vacation at this Pocasset hidden gem promises a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Before I tell you about the features of this amazing property, let me fill you in on a little bit of history. The Wings Neck Light is a former U.S. Coast Guard lighthouse that dates back over a century. It was essential in keeping boats safe for decades as they shipped goods through the busy Cape Cod Canal. 

When you stay at the Wings Neck Light, you will have access to the entire lighthouse Keeper's Home. Although the property is historic, it has been beautifully restored and features a comfortable three-bedroom space to sleep up to eight guests. There are several cozy spots to hang out and enjoy peaceful solitude or sit back and soak in the magnificent 360-degree views while listening to the waves of the Atlantic crash against the rocks outside your door. The Airbnb also features a modern kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms.

However, the best part of this incredible Airbnb is the lighthouse tower, which is fully accessible to guests. Climb the home's spiral staircase, and you will come upon a ladder leading to a glassed-in area. The views from the top are breathtaking!

The Wings Neck Lighthouse also includes the use of the property's private beach, the perfect spot for swimming, relaxing, and working on your tan. Additional hotels, restaurants, and attractions are available in nearby Cape Cod towns.
