Description

Description

Enjoy it all in this wonderful, well maintained 4 bedroom, 2 bath home off the beaten track yet close to everything in a desirable bayside residential area of Eastham! A great spot for your fun family vacation, fall getaway, girls weekend, or hotel alternative for any special event! For the extended family and perfectly located on a private, dead end lane that ends at the Cape Cod bike trail: level .5 acre lot, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, very large wrap-around deck with an oversized outdoor shower, well appointed kitchen, living room, plenty of amenities and ample parking.

Definitely a highlight, and with abundant seating, the deck is a great place for your family to congregate, relax, or enjoy a barbecue on our large Webber gas grill. (Our neighbors teased us when we first built it that you could land an airplane on it.) Don’t miss out on taking a shower in our outdoor shower…once you try it you’ll never want to take a shower inside again. Ours is quite large with a dry end for your clothes, and very private.

There are a couple of great ponds nearby. Herring Pond is on the way to First Encounter Beach, a beautiful bay side beach that is perfect for families with young children...you can walk out pretty far when the tide is low and even at high tide there is little to no undertow. Wiley Park is a great fresh water pond with a sandy beach, shaded areas, dock, playground, bath house, and the ice cream truck stops by several times a day. All of these favorite beach spots are within 2 miles.

The Cape Cod National Seashore is a bike ride away and is one of the top 10 most visited National Parks in the US. Enjoy the visitors center, guided walks, and guided talks/movies, besides spectacular beaches.
We are only a couple of miles (and an easy bike ride) to beautiful Nauset Light Beach on the Atlantic Ocean — recently rated a “Top Ten Beach” in the world! Coast Guard Beach, the shallow, warm beaches on Cape Cod Bay, and Eastham ponds are all a short drive.

There are lots of great activities on the Cape and with neighboring towns like Orleans, Brewster and Wellfleet much of it is very close by. We have a binder in the house with flyers and restaurant menu’s from many of the places that we and our former renters have enjoyed. Nearby: biking, golf, fishing, whale watching, drive-in movie, flea markets, shopping, antiquing, miniature golf, hiking, kayaking, Audubon center, Rock Harbor and more...most less than 5 minutes away. Don't miss the Monday night concerts on Nauset Beach in Orleans, or in Eastham at the windmill, and Chatham has a wonderful band concert in the center of town on Friday nights. Catch a game of the Orleans Firebirds, Cape Cod baseball league, or one of the many plays or concerts on the Cape each summer.

The two bedrooms upstairs are rather large, with queen beds in each one, sitting areas, ceiling fans, and skylights. A full bath completes the floor plan. The first floor has one bedroom with a queen bed, and one bedroom with 2 extra long twin beds...both bedrooms have new hardwood floors. There is a new washing machine and a clothes line, no dryer. The baths are tiled. The kitchen appliances were recently updated, including a new stove, microwave and Keurig coffee maker.

Ours is a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood with several year-round families nearby. Our home is neat, clean and comfortable, and previously only rented to repeat renters from 'back home'. Renters provide their own linens. Internet service is provided. There are no pets allowed and no smoking in the house please. We welcome 8 people in the house max at one time.
$300 Security Deposit.

Don't miss the beautiful Fall days on the Cape with warm, sunny days and cool nights, diminished crowds at beaches and restaurants, warm waters, and lower rates. Call us for flexible arrival and departure days to accommodate your off-season schedule.

    Th most relaxing vacation for the entire family

    We love this house and have been coming back for many years now. Our children grew up used to coming for a summer vacation in this house. It is located on a quiet street with access to the bike path, which is a gem in Eastham. Beaches on both sides are very close by car or by bike. The house is very well equipped. The kitchen has everything we need and the washing machine works great. There is a fan in every room and the house is airy. The hosts are very accommodating and give the best local advice. Our already grown family can not wait to come back next summer. show more show less

    The Cape the way it's meant to be

    We have rented this property for several years now and it has been a perfect fit every time. We have 4 kids and it has been a great week each year. The house has always been very clean and has everything you need. The owner is extremely welcoming and hospitable. There is no AC for the AC lover but fans are supplied in every bedroom which do the job. The beach and bike path are both a stone's throw away. It's all you need and want for a Cape vacation. Highly recommend!

    Perfect rental property for our family with small children & grandparent!

    We had a fabulous time during our two weeks at this home. It was extremely clean upon arrival and everything was thoughtfully laid out. One major benefit of renting a property that has been on the market for many years is that it is highly functional with everything you need is right there!

    We are a family of five (2 adults, 3 kids) and my mother also stayed with us. Having two bedrooms and full bath on the first floor made this perfect for my mom who doesn't handle stairs well. My girls loved staying in the bedroom 'next to Nonnie'. Since we were there for two weeks, we also had to rely on the wifi for work zoom calls. Everything worked great, even when two of us were having meetings at the same time.

    It was super convenient to the beaches, ponds and 'downtown' Eastham (we listed to a free outdoor concert by the windmill). Jan was super helpful, providing the perfect balance of accessibility while giving you privacy. This house is so close to the bike trail (just at the end of this quiet street) and my kids had a great time exploring it. The deck is amazing and I even took a few zoom calls from there!

    We had a wonderful two weeks here, cooking almost every meal in the kitchen and eating around the table. A+.

    Cozy Cape in the Fall

    Had the best time in this cozy cape. Much larger than it looks with all the amenities needed. Massive deck was impressive. Lots of room for rest and relaxation. Not to mention what amazing hosts Jan and Ken were. We will definitely be back. Perfect house, perfect location.

    Bayside Rental near First Encounter Beach and Great Pond

    Can't wait to go back! Lovely house with charming hosts and convenient location near bike trail. We rode our bikes to First Encounter Beach, Great Pond and Coastguard Beach.

    Great Family Getaway!

    We spent a lovely week in Eastham at this charming house. It was bright and airy and with lots of space-especially the wonderful deck where there were two large tables and umbrellas and a great grill. It was quiet but close to everything. The hosts are warm and super helpful and made us feel welcome in their home.

    A great home in a great location

    This property is in excellent condition, and we really enjoyed our stay here. We especially appreciated the deck, the outdoor shower, and the proximity to the kettle ponds and the bike path. The upstairs bedrooms get pretty warm during the day when the weather is hot but cool off at night with the ceiling and window fans. In part due to changes related to COVID-19 and a severe storm during our stay, we had more interactions with the owner than I have had with previous rentals. She was very kind and communicated well. show more show less

    Wonderful experience

    We were looking for a peaceful, kid-friendly long-term rental during the summer of 2020, and wow, are we glad we chose this one! We didn't know Eastham well, but really liked the easy access to both fresh and salt water swimming, and the ability to hop on the bike path at the end of this street. We loved the outdoor deck, which, in 2020, offered the added bonus of being spectacular for socially-distant get-togethers since it is huge. But it would be great anytime.

    It was so peaceful having coffee there in the mornings, watching the birds and smelling pine-scented air. The pictures are very accurate as is the list of amenities; we found everything to be exactly as advertised. We both had to work-from-home for part of our stay, so appreciated the amount of space and the excellent wi-fi.

    The owners are wonderful hosts! Ken and Jan were so responsive to all our questions in advance and equally so after we arrived. While never intrusive, they instantly addressed the few minor issues we had, often in ways that went above and beyond what was necessary. For example, when we mentioned the grill was a bit slow to light, they came over and swapped grills with us so we had a really good one. And when we discovered that due to very limited hours at town hall this year, we wouldn't be able to get a beach sticker until a week into our stay, Jan actually went, stood in line and got one for us before we arrived. (Yes, you read that right - she voluntarily interacted with government bureaucracy on our behalf!) I'm really glad we picked this house for our long-term escape. Our only regret is we couldn't rent it the whole summer!

    Cozy Private Home w/GREAT Outdoor Space

    We (two couples) stayed in this lovely home for our first trip to the Cape without our now adult children. The deck out back is amazingly large - great for morning coffee listening to the birds sing and excellent for cocktails and dinner as the sun set through the trees. There's really no reason to be inside with a spacious and comfortable deck like this! The outdoor shower was as wonderful as promised with its dry side for hanging towels and wet side for washing up. Bedrooms are all good size (but be prepared for firm mattresses) and the bathrooms are good size with good water pressure. Kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need and lots of plates and silverware so you don't have to run the dishwasher every day. The lane that this home is on is very quiet and private and runs into the Cape Cod Rail Trail, which we walked every day. Just a two minute drive to First Encounter Beach so we caught many beautiful sunsets. We really enjoyed our stay and the owners are incredibly friendly and helpful. We would stay here again! show more show less

    Great House

    Our family (5 adults) spent a wonderful week at the Cape. The house was perfect for our needs. Located in a quiet neighborhood, the house was clean, had plenty of room, a great deck for relaxing with a few cold beverages, and a wonderful outdoor shower. Very close to one of our favorite beaches, Coast Guard. Would recommend this rental.

    Like many of you we've been coming to the Cape each summer since we were kids. My brother Bill and I (Jan) are the original owners of this home, having bought it new in 1983 and we've made many improvements over the years. My family and I now live year round in Wellfleet and we love all the seasons here. We've enjoyed having our extended family vacations here, and our hope is that you enjoy it just as much. Feel free to call us to find out more about our favorite Cape escape.

    What is special about this property?
    We take pride in keeping a nice, clean home with many of the amenities that our guests are looking for in a beach house. Our outdoor shower and deck are very large, and probably what we get the most compliments about, besides the well-cared for condition of the home, and great location.
