Designed for focused work, reflection, and restorative living, the space is secure, well-maintained, and intentionally simple.

Details & Fit: - Single occupancy only - 1-month minimum stay (2 to 3+ months preferred) - No pets, smoking, parties, or events - Visitors permitted with prior approval; overnight guests require permission - Quiet hours: 10 PM 8 AM The studio works best for someone with a relatively light footprint who values a calm, private, and well-kept environment. As part of a light house-sitting arrangement, guests agree to help monitor the property, bring in mail/packages, manage trash/recycling, and report any issues-- all contributing to a shared sense of care and stewardship. The location blends wooded residential calm with convenient access to Plymouth Harbor, beaches, restaurants, ferries to Provincetown, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard, and outdoor recreation in the surrounding area and nearby Myles Standish State Forest. Situated between Boston and Cape Cod, the studio offers flexibility for both work and leisure. Public transit is nearby, though a car is recommended.
