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

What a lovely Thanksgiving we had at your beautiful house in Eastham! It had the perfect layout for multiple generations under the same roof, and an open design for fun dinners and family socializing.(and even though the design is open, the house felt cozy and warm). My 92 year old mother was particularly appreciative of the gas stove on chilly November days. The ping pong table and foosball were an added treat - my competitive family enjoyed epic battles in the basement. The house was clean, well-maintained, well-appointed, and decorated with character and thought. We really loved our brief time there - thank you for sharing your lovely home!. show more show less

Thank you to Miriam and Ben for our two week stay on the Cape being a wonderful time! This home is new, spacious, comfortable, and provided us with all the amenities needed.
We especially enjoyed linens and bicycles being provided, as well as an expansive lending library! We were even able to partake of some homegrown organic tomatoes in our dinner salads! The walk in shower in the master bedroom was extremely helpful. Perfectly located, the home is close to all our favorite places, especially the beaches of the National Seashore. Definitely a return to place! show more show less

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this meticulously appointed Eastham home. It is the ideal location for a large family or several families, conveniently located near all the outer Cape has to offer; fresh water ponds, beautiful ocean beaches, bike paths, restaurants and more.

Tucked away in a private quiet road, the home is beautifully designed and decorated, and is well equipped with all your needs for the beach and for family meals. The open floor plan allows great opportunities for socializing while there is no shortage of quiet nooks to get some individual peace and quiet. While the Cape is scenic, the landscaping at this home is just as gorgeous....we wish we could have stayed longer and hope to return! show more show less

Our hosts created a wonderful vacation home, with all the details of gracious living. The house itself is perfect in size, layout and amenities. You can see the thought put into every aspect, from comfortable beds and pillows (hallelujah!), attractive table wear, etc. to flow of the house and unique spaces. Location is excellent for biking and beaches.
We've been renting on the Cape for many years and this home is our favorite! Our children have so many options to keep themselves occupied in outdoorsy/active ways.
And finally, and most notably, our hosts were incredibly attentive to any questions or needs we had. Plus, plus, plus! show more show less

This is a beautiful new house in excellent condition and is one of those rare Cape properties that looks as good in person as it does in the pictures. This house is laid out very well and is in a great location with easy access to a freshwater pond, the National Seashore, and many good restaurants and attractions. We especially appreciated the bikes and stand-up paddleboards that were included in the rental. We have already booked a return trip for next year and are very much looking forward to it. show more show less

After renting the same house on the Cape that we LOVED for over a decade, we were devastated when it was no longer available (the owners retired and moved in!) We continued coming to the Cape renting different homes using our original rental as a measuring stick. We were always completely disappointed.......UNTIL NOW.

This home simply makes you feel good and being there is just EASY. It's CLEAN, airy, beautiful and thoughtfully appointed. Miriam and Ben have thought of everything. We were two families of four and our children are college-aged twenty somethings. This home accommodated us all easily and allowed us to be together but also enough space for everyone's "me" time. The "kids" took the upstairs and loved it and their privacy. Four showers (one outside) meant no long lines for bath time after the beach. We also took advantage of the ping pong and foosball tables in the basement almost nightly.

We cooked there every night, and enjoyed our dinners on the screened in porch. The dishwasher made quick and easy clean up! We had a very active vacation and coming home to this house every day served as the backbone of one of the best vacations on the Cape yet! I didn't watch TV or look at my phone even once. Sublime. I am still suffering the worst vacation hang-over. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. (and I am VERY FUSSY!)

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
