Newly Renovated Cape Cod Cottage with Pond Access
Eastham Vacation Rental - ID 26129

We had a great stay here! We had plenty of space for our family of four plus two friends. The pond across the street was a huge bonus for us. The kids loved kayaking, canoeing, fishing and swimming (the owners were generous enough to allow us to use their kayak, canoe, large floats and kids life jackets). We rented SUPs and really enjoyed them on the pond as well. The ocean and bay are a short drive away. In the mornings we enjoyed runs to the bay and along the bike trail. We had such nice time that we booked a second week later in the summer! Great home and great location! show more show less

Our two families of three had a wonderful time at this home, which has been perfectly renovated to feel bright, clean and open while still retaining it's old-time charm. The owners have done a marvelous job and the property itself was perfectly situated near quiet Depot Pond, which we used almost every day for swimming, paddling and fishing.

It's a great location near the national seashore beaches and relatively close to Orleans and Wellfleet. We had a fantastic week here.

This quaint, well-appointed and comfortable cottage has everything a family could wish for as a base from which to enjoy a tranquil and laid-back Cape vacation, whilst taking advantage of all the area has to offer. So easy to drive up, drop the bags, and feel like you live there! Location couldn't be more perfect other than water frontage itself. Long Pond outlook just across the street out the front door, and a quick 2 minute walk to the pond itself down a quiet pathway. . . beautiful sunsets.

Walk to the windmill / park / library / superette. Rent bicycles from Little Capistrano and you can roam far and wide to visit neighboring towns along the trail, ride to Coast Guard Beach for the ocean, First Encounter Beach for the bay, Salt Pond Nature Center 5 mins away, etc.

The freshly renovated home is spacious, light-filled, has all new furnishings and fixtures, comfortable beds, clean lines. Separate family gathering spaces at front and back of house are nice for mixed age groups that want some separation. Lovely outdoor patio dining out back. Kitchen is well stocked with implements most any cook will desire. We so savored the true essence of Cape Cod in this wonderful home last summer, and plan to return! show more show less

If you are looking for Cape Cod charm in a perfect location, this is the cottage for you. Located in a peaceful setting on a country road, the cottage is 5 minute walk from the windmill in Eastham and just around the corner from Capistrano bicycle rentals. The Cape Cod Seashore National Park is only a short walk or bike ride away. If you like to swim, the cottage has a private access to Depot Pond across the street. The sandy, shallow shoreline of the pond is excellent for young children and the water is pristine. If you are into birding, the Cape has numerous bird watching opportunities along the Atlantic seashore, the bay, and the marshes. But if you want to just chill out at home, you can enjoy a variety of birds, and a rabbit or two, from the secluded patio behind the cottage.

Eastham is conveniently located between Orleans and Wellfleet. There are a number of great restaurants within a short drive of the cottage but we found the kitchen of the cottage was so well equipped (including a gas grill), we preferred exploring the nearby seafood markets and making dinner feasts of seafood that we can’t get fresh back home. Indeed, we like to cook and felt very much at home in the cottage kitchen. At night, if not exhausted, we enjoyed movies on the large flat-screened TV.

The cottage is uncluttered, squeaky clean, and everything looks freshly painted. While it has been completely updated, the cottage still maintains a historic charm with its wood plank flooring, built-in cabinets, and original hardware. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are spotless.

This is the perfect cottage for a laid-back family vacation at the Cape, and I just can’t wait to return!
