Minutes to Bay Beaches, Fresh water ponds & Bike Trail

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!

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!

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.

I live in Southern California now but I am originally from Massachusetts and have rented this perfect Cape Cod home during many springs and summers over the years. Every time I am here, I am truly home again. There is so much about this home that makes it perfect....super comfortable, extremely clean with plenty of room to relax as well as entertain. The huge deck with built-in seating, a great grill and surrounded by a calm natural setting is a wonderful gathering place for a BBQ or party for family & friends. The bedrooms and baths are all very comfortable, clean and relaxing havens. The location of this home is wonderful too...it is on a dead end road so it is very quiet and safe and it is minutes away from the beaches, ponds, restaurants, mini-golf, shops and other places you want to visit during your Cape Cod vacation. And last but definitely not least is that the homeowners, Jan & Ken, are the best! They do everything to ensure that your stay in their Cape Cod home is perfect!

After years of renting on the Cape, we have finally found the perfect place to stay. With plenty of bedrooms, we were able to accommodate our family and friends. Also, the large deck was perfect for entertaining. From the outdoor shower to the two bathrooms, no one had to wait in line and we could be quickly out the door for a night on the town. Beaches, restaurants, and shops are close by so you don't have far to venture. This is now my home away from home.

My whole family vacationed here for a week. The house is clean and well maintained, is plenty large enough and offers a great private outdoor shower and very large deck. Almost all the showers were taken outside and meals were eaten on the deck. The house is located close to anything that you would want to do on the Cape -- bay side, ocean side, rail trail, stores, etc. The homeowners were fantastic to deal with. We actually had the pleasure of meeting them in person. I would highly recommend this vacation home, and we hope to vacation there again next year.

This is my 3rd review and it does not change! The house is immaculate and the owners are wonderful. The house is kept with pride and you do not have to worry about its cleanliness or unwanted insects. The owners will do all they can to make your stay the best, and each year you rent, you will find something new to make your stay even better! This year there were new kitchen chairs around the table. This is the place you want to stay!

This is our 16th year renting this house and we never went to Coast Guard Beach. This beach is less than 5 minutes from the house and is the best beach on the Cape. No stairs, no rocks to navigate over to get to softer sand, and if you want to see seals, just walk down the beach and they are there in pods.

The house is located near to great eateries, ice cream shops, and shopping! You will not go wrong renting this house!!

My family stayed in this home multiple times. The house is very well taken care of. Every year there are some pleasant enhancements that we appreciate. There are new kitchen appliances, coffee machine, washing machine. We love the enormous deck and the outside shower. The bedrooms are large, especially upstairs. We love the biking trail that the dead end of the street has access to. The beaches both bay and ocean are a few minutes drive.

This is my 14th year renting this house, and for some of my family members they have rented this house for over 20 years. This year was one of our best stays on record! The location of this house is the best! We have children in our family that range from age 7 to age 16. The property is close enough for our big kids to catch the "big waves" at Marconi, and minutes away from the fresh water ponds, such as Wiley Park for the little ones. Let's not forget you can get on your bikes and be on First Encounter Beach in minutes to enjoy the Cape's bay side.

When we needed a break from the beaches we could hop on the bike path at the end of the road to do some shopping or have ice cream in Orleans. Or we would hop in the car and head to the Atlantic Spice factory in Turo, as well as, head to Provincetown for more shopping and site seeing. Provincetown is only a 30 minute car ride away from the property.

Jan and her family are wonderful to work with as the owners of the house. Their only goal is for you to have the best Cape vacation possible. They are constantly asking for feedback and suggestions. The best part about giving them feedback is that they actually use it to make your stay that much better the next year. They have upgraded several appliances in the kitchen, added WiFi, upgraded the screen doors, and there are ceiling fans in the upstairs bedrooms. They also supply box fans for the other bedrooms. This was greatly appreciated this year since the average temperature during the week of our Cape vacation was 90 degrees.

It is without reservation that I recommend this rental property to you for your vacation.

Great property and neighborhood. We spent most of our time on the jumbo-sized deck (and using the gas grill). Upstairs bedrooms are large and lovely. Jan was very friendly and responsive. A great value for the money!

The owner Jan was very easy to deal with. The house was clean, the upstairs bedrooms are huge. The deck and outdoor shower are amazing. Bike trail entrance at the end of the road, and some old bikes available to use in the basement. Overall, very impressed.

We rented this home for a ladies' weekend several times and love it. It's comfortable and well kept, and it has all of the amenities we need. I especially like the spacious bedrooms that can accommodate everyone's luggage without feeling crowded. I also like that it is close to the bike trail for an early morning walk or ride. Jan and Ken are very personable and accessible by phone if you have questions. This is a nice retreat and reasonably priced.

What a terrific location for a rental in the mid-Cape area. This fabulous rental home is located on a quiet lane, which is close to the bike trail, several beaches, grocery stores and delicious restaurants. Each time we have stayed at this rental throughout the past years, we have found the property well maintained both outside and inside. It has an outdoor shower, spacious deck with plenty of seating and a large grill for entertaining outside. Inside there are four bedrooms which have comfortably slept eight people and two full bathrooms. We have been very pleased with the consistent cleanliness of the property, and helpful suggestions provided by the owners. This is a rental that makes you feel like your home away from home!

I have stayed in this lovely home several times. It is always neat and very clean and has everything one needs to enjoy a great vacation. The location is ideal -- close to bay area beaches and the bike trail. We particularly love the large deck -- it is the best gathering place for meals and hanging out after a day at a kettle pond or the ocean. The outdoor shower is large and relaxing. The owners are a delight to deal with. They care about this property and they want you to enjoy it as much as they do! We will most certainly stay here again!

We stayed at the house with 8 people and had a great time. The location is very good: close to the beaches and Orleans. The house had everything we needed, but we spent the majority of our time outside. It has an awesome deck and an outside shower we used all the time, especially to rinse off after the beach. I would definitely rent again!
Thanks!

We were very fortunate to rent for a long weekend. As other reviewers have noted, we found the house very clean, neat and well equipped. Both upstairs bedrooms are very spacious with an additional sitting area, making them ideal for a little private time to relax or to catch up on work. Nice large deck with plenty of seating is a great feature as well as the outside shower.

The property is conveniently located close to fresh water ponds, bayside beaches and the bike trail as well as a local supermarket. All within easy access. Property owners were very accommodating.

Our family spent 2 happy weeks in the house. The house is very clean and spacious, the kitchen is well equipped. Good internet connection. Bike trail is at the end of the street, very convenient. Ocean and bay beaches are a few minutes away. We loved the house and would love to come again next summer.

House was exactly as described. Great outdoor deck and shower, and gas grill is in excellent shape. Close to beaches and ponds and next to bike path. Mattresses were in great shape, unlike places we have rented in the past. Owners were very concerned regarding renters enjoyment of house and area and attentive to needs.

Last summer, my family came together--from Michigan, Virginia, and the Boston area--for a vacation on the Cape. We were looking for a house that could comfortably sleep 3 couples and 1 or 2 single adults, that was conveniently located to beaches and other Cape attractions, was affordable, and was in a quiet location. This house delivered. Beds were comfortable, house was well maintained, neighbors were quiet but friendly and helpful--we loved it. The owners of this house are extremely easy to get a hold of with questions, and they gave us great tips on where to go and what to do. The next time I'm looking to have a Cape vacation with the Boston side of the family, this is the first place we'll look for lodging. Highly recommend!

Owners were wonderful to work with and the home was exactly as described. We were lucky to have great weather and maximized use of the large deck and the outdoor shower. Nice location, close to bike trail, and both bay-side and ocean-side beaches. We appreciated having the wireless internet (new this year, I understand). Return of security deposit was prompt.

I have stayed in this house with my family for a week in the summer for ten consecutive summers. The location is minutes from both bay side and the ocean beaches. The house is always clean and the owners are always asking for feedback on ways to make our stay more comfortable. The bike path is walking distance away and the outdoor shower is great after a day at the beach, a bike ride, or a run. The house is minutes from Orleans and Wellfleet, it is also only thirty minutes from Provincetown. So even on the rainy days you have something to do. I highly recommend that you give this rental a try.

This rental property is exactly as the owner has listed it. Very neat and clean, bedrooms are spacious, deck has lots of sitting/dining area, and the outdoor shower is terrific. This location is central to dining, shopping, and both bay and surf beaches. It was everything my family was looking for.

I have stayed at this house with my family twice, in 2010 and 2011. I have been coming to the Cape since I was 2 years old, and some 40+ years later still very much enjoy vacationing here.
Most of our days are spent at the beach, visiting family or other spots on the Cape, so we need a place to stay that allows us the freedom to come and go as we please as well as to rest up for the next day.
This property is ideally located right off Bridge Rd in Eastham, and in a very quiet neighborhood. The house is spotless, everything works great and is very comfortable.
This house will always be the first I check for availability when on the Cape.
