Welcome to Willowbend
Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Welcome to Willowbend
Where the mainland of Massachusetts gives way to the iconic hook of Cape Cod sits the home of Willowbend. Located in the town of Mashpee and nestled along picturesque Shoestring Bay, this private enclave offers a lifestyle vibe fitting of the area—the feeling of a permanent vacation rather than simply a place to live. The serene and relaxed atmosphere belies the bustle happening beyond the gates while still affording easy access to all that Cape-goers crave. The centerpiece of the community is a meticulously maintained golf course dotted with working cranberry bogs and offering sweeping bay views. Dining venues serve up locally sourced New England fare—including seafood selections freshly plucked from coastal waters and a range of produce harvested from nearby farms.
Willowbend is more than a collection of homes and amenities. It is a place where every family member can experience the fun of sport and recreation. From a championship golf course comprising three meticulously maintained nines to an expansive pool area to ample pickleball and tennis courts to a full range of fitness and wellness services, there is never a shortage of fun. This is where you can choose how you want to play—each day.
While a modern and progressive community, Willowbend returns to the basic values of American yesteryear. The intent is to evoke feelings of friendliness and familiarity among members and residents—ideals that have been the fabric of Cape Cod communities for generations. This is and will always be a special place where kids can grow up together, families can grow closer, and everyone can play together in a private, resort-like setting.
