Beautiful new house near private beach on Great Pond
Eastham Vacation Rental - ID 23478

Despite the less than perfect weather, we had a delightful week in this absolutely lovely home. The amenities and comforts were outstanding. Plush, new mattresses and soft linen (important for me, since I am an insomniac), fully equipped kitchen with a large island, bicycles, gorgeous screened in patio with a large table as well as an outside deck with comfy lounge chairs and a large hammock in the yard. My husband adored the outdoor shower (complete with soap, shampoo, conditioner and enough room to comfortably undress and not get wet). You can access the bike trail without crossing route 6 which is very convenient and safe. Eastham is our favorite Cape town, and you are very close to several bay beaches as well as the ocean. Wildlife abounds and aside from the many bunnies, we were entertained by two very large turkeys who liked to strut around the house. We met Miriam when we arrived, who is lovely, accommodating and very welcoming. We would love to stay here again! show more show less

My husband and I, along with our 2-year-old son were lucky enough to vacation in this home for 9 days. We could tell the home was attractive from the photographs, but the moment we walked through the front door it was just breathtaking in person!

The home is brand new, and it is clear that a great deal of time and attention were focused on choosing every little detail from the furniture to lighting, from artwork and accessories, to amenities such as bath towels and beach towels. The home came with everything we could have possibly needed for a long stay, and everything was easy to locate when needed.

We only used the first floor during our stay for just the three of us, and found the queen beds to be firm while the twin bed was soft. Just the right fit for everyone. I absolutely loved the beautiful woven bedspreads -- perhaps they are from Guatemala?

For our own sanity, we relocated a number of pretty pottery pieces, succulents and other decor items so we wouldn't have to worry about our son getting himself into a pickle. There were plenty of closets with open shelving to accommodate our belongings as well as the homeowner's wonderful decor we hid away.

The kitchen came fully stocked with nice quality dishes, glassware, flatware, cooking equipment and serving ware. It was easy to cook and eat at home, although Eastham offers just a short drive to so many restaurants, we didn't eat at home too often.

Eastham is pretty much right in the middle of the Cape, and we were able to explore the Upper and Middle Cape extensively from this home base. The homeowner left a terrific binder full of restaurant and activity recommendations, and there were so many beaches just a stone's throw away. So easy to get anywhere!

The neighborhood was very quiet (we went in September), and it was comfortable to leave the windows open all day and all night, listening to the wind, birds, crickets and even an owl very close by in the late evening. We especially enjoyed hearing the owl!

All in all, this property is just great. We used it in the off season for just three of us. I imagine it would be even better in the peak of summer with a larger group. This house could easily sleep 12 teens and adults in existing beds. Lots more additional open space for air mattresses, etc. We rented a full-size crib for our toddler and it easily fit into the master bedroom with room to spare.

We have stayed in many houses on the Cape and this was one of the best. What was most amazing is how "new" everything is - everything works as it should, it is clean, the windows close and open easily, no spiderwebs... which made it a true vacation after living in a home from 1935 for the past 10 years. The paddle boards were a great activity - one I had never done before and we felt lucky to have the opportunity. The pond down the road was beautiful and the area was quiet and peaceful but close to everything we wanted to do and see. We were only two adults and two children and didn't even use the upstairs part - there is ample room to share this house with another family as the floors feel quite separate. The screened in porch is great as well. This house is exactly as described and really, truly, lovely! Miriam is a wonderful host and was excellent to deal with. show more show less

My family has rented homes on Cape Cod every summer for over 10 years and this was by far our best experience. We had grown accustomed to Cape rentals being furnished and decorated a bit like hotel rooms: bland and on-the-cheap. This beautifully designed home is the opposite with all details and furnishings very tasteful, stylish and high-quality. Our kids (9 and 16) loved the rambling second floor space and ping pong in the basement while the adults loved the open and well-equipped kitchen, quiet screened porch for morning coffee and convenient location for Cape outings. And the owners were so gracious and responsive with any questions that came up. We're already planning on returning next summer. Highly recommend this rental! show more show less

We rent houses all over the world. Our standards for comfort, true to location and modern features, are very high. This home has it all including thoughtful and responsive owners. Tucked on a quite street and walking distance from a small beach you can expect a relaxing and fun time.

We loved our one week stay in this beautifully decorated home located minutes from the National Seashore, Eastham beaches on the Bay side of the Cape, Great Pond and the Cape Cod bike path!

The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome in this spacious home with a fabulous screened in porch and well equipped kitchen. The number of bedrooms and sleeping options made it easy to accommodate our large family of six plus several extended family members. Everything looked clean and new and there was an ample supply of towels and linens. This house has it all! WiFi, laundry and AC (which despite it being a hot week was never used because the refreshing breezes kept us comfortable).

With multiple options for fun including ping pong, board games, paddle boards, badminton and bikes, there were always plenty of options for fun! My family hopes to return to this idyllic vacation spot next summer.

We rented this house for two weeks. It was wonderful not to have to bring sheets, towels and beach towels or even beach chairs. The house is very comfortable and attractively decorated. It was super to have AC if we needed it. Wish it had four enclosed bedrooms rather than just three, but this layout worked just fine for our family. It was very easy to have friends over to join us for dinner--plenty of space to sit around the table both inside or outside on the porch. There are fans in the living room, and two bedrooms on the first floor. The porch has a fan and gets a breeze so it is lovely out there. The kitchen had most things we needed so it was easy to prepare meals the evenings we stayed home. There is a ping pong table in the basement as well as another table game. Our grandchildren are too young for those but they would be great to have for older children and adults. Love the location of the house in Eastham too. Easy to get most anywhere. Highly recommend the house. show more show less

We had a wonderful off-season stay at this Eastham home. The newly built house is spacious and modern but still holds all the charm of a traditional Cape house. Walks on nearby beaches, lobsters and oysters from a local fisherman's market, ice cream, and catching a movie on a rainy day were all within a 10 minute drive. Very nice, thank you.

This house has it all, and it's all brand new! Great layout, great light, great breezes, wonderful decor - so many thoughtful, creative touches! The house looks and feels like it was designed and decorated with the utmost care, and at the same time feels totally comfortable and welcoming.

The configuration of beds and bedrooms creates lots of options for lots of guests. With four couples in our group, we all had plenty of space & privacy. (The house could easily have accommodated more people.) Bedding and towels were new and top quality.

The kitchen is very well equipped and a pleasure to cook in. The open floor plan allows everyone in the kitchen, dining and living areas to stay connected -- those working on a jigsaw puzzle in the dining room and watching a ball game in the living room can easily chat with those doing food prep.

The screened porch is fabulous - we enjoyed it at all hours! Morning coffee, afternoon snacks, board games, books and naps, and the large table easily accommodated our group for wonderful, relaxing dinners. There's also a nice deck, yard and outdoor shower.

WiFi worked fine for everyone. We were there in October so did not need AC (which the house does have) and given the wonderful breezes, it probably wouldn't even be needed in the summer. Brand new energy efficient, commercial size washer and dryer make laundry a snap.

The ping pong table in the basement is great fun on a rainy afternoon. Bicycles and paddle boards included with the house were a big plus! Very close and easy access to bike trail and Great Pond, along with both bay and ocean beaches nearby makes for endless local fun. Location in Eastham makes it easy to go elsewhere on the Cape if you care to explore.

The owners are very responsive, helpful and a pleasure to interact with regarding arrangements.

We didn't want to leave and are already discussing when to return! show more show less

We had the pleasure of renting this beautiful home in the off season at a great price. This property has everything you will ever need. The owners (Miriam & Ben) immediately replied to all of our questions and they couldn't be more pleasant. The house is in a great Eastham location on a quiet, secluded, dead end street, a short walk to beautiful Great Pond. The home inside is immaculate with new furniture and bedding; quality linens & towels were provided, and the first floor well equipped laundry room was so convenient. The large screened in porch was an added bonus. We have stayed on the Cape for many, many years and we know it would be difficult to find a better deal than this. show more show less
