Sleeps 12 | Walk to Bay Beach & Kettle Pond| Family Escape
Eastham Vacation Rental - ID 14081

I can't say enough good things about this place. My family and I have been coming to stay at this property for over 10 years now. We come back every summer, which is probably the best endorsement I can provide.

It's a big house, and perfect for a big group. There is plenty of parking out front and on the side. The back yard deck is a great place for dinner and just relaxing -- the kitchen is practically professional-grade with everything a serious cook could want. The bathrooms are clean and bright, and the outdoor shower is great when you come back sandy from the beach. The rooms are comfortable and quiet. There are plenty of living areas for rainy days or evening activities, but most of the time you'll be outdoors enjoying the beach or the pond.

The owner keeps the place very well maintained and is constantly upgrading and improving things. This year we came back to a new washer-drier and various remodeling throughout the house. Over the years I don't think there are any major appliances or furniture that have not been replaced at least once. The few times there have been any issues, the owner has responded quickly and we've never been anything less than 100% satisfied.

It's a pleasant walk across the street to Great Pond, or walk about the same distance in the other direction and you're at the Bay beach. It's a short bike ride through the neighborhood to the Cape Cod Rail trail and bike access up and down the Cape. Similarly, a quick ride through the neighborhood and traffic light controlled crossing of route 6 to the National Seashore Park Visitors' Center and from there you have bike paths to Coast Guard beach on the ocean side. All the best Cape towns are within a 20 minute drive (assuming traffic isn't too bad): Wellfleet, Provincetown, Orleans, Chatham, Brewster, Dennis, etc.

Honestly, I can't imagine a better place to stay.

If you are looking for location, fun and amenities, this is the place for you. The house is within minutes of several bayside beaches. A few minutes more and you can be at the Coast Guard beach on the ocean.

Many great restaurants are only minutes away. Shopping in Orleans is quick and easy.

The house is a multi family dream. The bedrooms are endless. There is also a mother-in-law suite that has several sleeping areas. For the kids there is a ping pong room, a pool table and a foosball table.

If you want everything you could possibly need, this is the place. If you have any problems the owner will address them immediately. Highly recommend.

We had a very nice week in Eastham. The house is very well appointed -- everything works, is clean, and is as advertised. Owner is super responsive and sweet. And the location is amazing....

This home was large enough for our annual family reunion. It is beautiful and very clean upon arrival. Close to a fresh water pond and within walking distance to Cape Cod Bay. We are going again next year!

My husband and I brought both sides of our family to this escape to the Cape! House was very clean and way bigger than we initially thought which gave everyone room to spread out. The game room was awesome for all of us to play and conveniently in the basement so we didn't wake the kiddos during our competitive pool and Foozeball tournaments. The house was a bit further walk to the beach for the kids then we thought, but we took turns shuttling them with cars or wagons.

The bay beach was very quiet and really only local residents/rentals. The park across the street was perfect and our littles enjoyed splashing in the lake and we brought the kayaks for launching. Highly recommended!

We had a great time. The home was very large and spacious, the deck was gorgeous, the games room was a blast! Marie was super helpful and responsive always, and was a pleasure to work with. Thank you Marie!

Going to Cape Cod? Have about a thousand friends/family? This Eastham home is the place to be. This is a great location physically to get anyplace from there. Provincetown to the north and Hyannis to the south are both under an hour. Kingsbury Beach is three to five minutes. Maybe 15 to First Encounter walking. Orleans is also 15 minutes or less to drive. You will also love to jump over to the ocean at Coast Guard Beach or Nauset Light Beach.

Now you know you can go everywhere you may not want to with all this house offers. First it is very clean and well taken care of. It is very quiet around the area. If you have kids it's a killer place. Our grandkids spent hours using the pool table, the ping pong table and the foosball table! That's right it has all three. Each area with plenty of space to play. Beds, omg. If I counted right you could probably sleep 22 people. The outdoor patio has room for 35 people to be seated. There is also a great barbecue grill. Did I say family reunion? This is the place. The kitchen has a Wolf stove, and absolutely everything else you can possibly want. Great dining seating as well.

The owner Maria, don't get me started. I texted her enough to times to make her crazy. However she is the most helpful and patient owner you could hope for. She is exceptional!

Long story short. Book this property. Change your schedule if necessary. This is the only place to be.

Our extended family of 6 adults and 8 children (ranging in age from 4 to 14) had a memorable time at this home. It is so spacious and comes with all of the necessities! The pictures are misleading on number of beds the home comes with. The kids' reaction to the back deck was...this looks like a restaurant! We had enough seating to always have an adult section and kids' section for eating. The outdoor shower was the best part of the whole house! After spending all day on the beach or pond, we all took advantage of the shower. With the ping pong, pool table, and wifi...all of the kids, young and old, never ran out of things to do.

It was a great way to get a vacation in for our family during the time of Covid. We were able to get away while still keeping our distance from others. The beach is great and all of the restaurants in the area were awesome. Will definitely be back!

Marie was a great host and her home was beautiful! We had a blast celebrating the fourth. She was available with any questions we had. Walking distance to the beach was a game changer!

The home is beautiful and so close to both the bay beach and pond. It was so nice to just hop on a bike or walk to the beach. The house was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely rent it again. Marie was great to work with and very responsive.

We loved our week at Marie's house! She was very easy and accommodating to work with. The in-law suite is great for social distancing with the coronavirus if you want another family/friends to join.

Location: easy walk down a small trail to the beach, although we chose to ride our bikes on the street down Kingsbury Beach Rd. Quiet beach, easy to social distance with coronavirus. Across the street is Wiley Pond with a playground and pond beach for swimming, kayaking or SUP. Also lots of trails around the pond to explore.

We love the bay beach in Eastham- beautiful sunsets, low tide exposes tidal pools, and the water is fairly warm. Not really any waves is the only downside, but you can drive or bike over to ocean side for those. Easy to kayak or SUP. Water is relatively warm, much warmer than ocean side. It's a great kids/family beach and being able to walk or bike from this house and not have to park is HUGE.

House: Very spacious, lots of beds which were all very comfortable. Kitchen was very well equipped for a rental house (having rented lots of beach houses you often don't have nice gear). Knives were fairly sharp, plenty of pots and pans and trays in good condition, Tupperware containers, grill utensils- it had everything you might need for a week of making meals. Weber grill is great. Deck is enormous with a LOT of seating. Can be buggy at night as any place in the summer. Kids loved playing ping pong, foosball and pool. Nice flat yard and outdoor shower.

We've been going to Eastham for 20 years and you can't go wrong renting this house!!!

My family (3 generations) had a wonderful time at this house. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, dinnerware, pots and pans, etc.. Layout of the house was perfect for a large family. Everyone had their own space. Deck is huge and backyard is big - we played yard games every day there. Across the street is Wiley Park with a playground and a pond - perfect for families with young children. Location was perfect - close to beach, miniature golf and good restaurants. The owner of the house couldn't have been nicer or more thoughtful. My family and I look forward to spending next year at this house.

The house was perfect! We are a large family and there was room for everyone! I don't know which the grandkids enjoyed more - the beach or pool and ping pong! Marie was so caring and concerned that we have a great time. I can't think of anything I would change! We hope to be back next year!
The Colman family

For our yearly family reunion, this place is absolutely perfect. A 5 minute walk down a path to the beach, a 5 minute walk across the road to the pond, a 5 minute bike ride to the bike trail, a 10 minute car ride to shopping or restaurants or national seashore, or if you really want to explore the Cape, you're pretty much right at the epicenter of whatever you might care to see. Our clan has children between 5 and 20, parents in their 40s and 50s, and matriarch and patriarch, and there is always something for everyone. There is a wheel-chair ramp and bedroom on the ground floor, a game room and bedroom in the basement, bedrooms upstairs, an absolutely fabulous kitchen and deck off the back with tables and space for a crowd.

The place is very clean, very well maintained, and the owner is always accommodating and a great communicator. We've stayed at a number of places on the Cape over the years, but this is the best; we plan to keep coming back as long as we are able. If you've got a big group and you want a great place to stay together on the Cape, stay here.

Our large family has been renting this property every summer for 5+ years. The location is perfect for us - short walk to a playground/pond beach one direction and an easy walk to the bay beach the other direction (beautiful sunsets too). The bike trail is about a mile away- (quick ride to Arnolds).

We rent the home and the apartment which works well for a bit of privacy for our extended family. We dine nightly on the large deck, and the yard is large enough for our annual "Family Olympics"..

We have found the owner to be very responsive to our queries and when needed the handyman was prompt to fix the problem.

I am writing this review in February - our grandkids, and we are already looking forward to our up coming summer visit. We know this home will be clean, very well kept and just waiting for us to move in and enjoy.

My family, my brothers and their families, all stayed here for one of the most memorable vacation weeks of our lives. The house was absolutely incredible. Everything was up to date, every bed was comfortable and everything was tastefully decorated. Plus there is so much room we never felt on top of each other. Marie, the owner, was also amazing to work with. My wife and I had a ton of questions beforehand and Marie was incredibly responsive and accommodating. We LOVED our stay at this property and would go back in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful stay at this clean, large home! We rented the in-law apt as well, and that was perfect for our little family with our 2 young children, since they were able to nap and relax away from the main house...which was also very spacious. We had our 4 families in this house/and in-law suite and it was perfect. Large kitchen, large family room, ping pong and pool in lower level. One of the greatest things was the deck. It was HUGE! We gathered here mostly when at the house...from yoga every morning, to margaritas in the afternoon, and lobster bakes in the evening. Plenty of seating and tables. And we even had dinner outside one night in a rain storm, due to the perfect overhang roof with skylights! Walk right across the street for the lake and nature walks. Short walk/bike ride to the beach, too. Also, handicap accessible...we used this for our strollers, great for not waking up little ones!
