We stayed for two weeks in July 2018. It’s the fifth house we’ve rented on the bay side of Eastham and we are happy we found it. The house is really close to Thumpertown Beach—the walk took 4 minutes. It is at the end of a sandy road and there is no traffic at all—none. Other houses on the street are pretty far apart, and neighbors were friendly.

The house is roomy and well laid-out, with a big and well-equipped newly remodeled kitchen, a bigger great room, two outside sitting areas, and a third sitting area around a fire pit. It was easy for folks to spread out and have space (reading, resting, hanging together). The gardens around the house are a treat, beautifully arranged. All rooms had window air conditioners (except the great room), which we used during a heat wave. Furnishings are attractive in the Cape style that is common (lots of maritime pieces) and really appealing watercolors were hung all over. The outdoor shower had strong water pressure (after a day on the beach, this feature is a treat) and was nicely private.

Mattresses were dated (this is common for Cape rental houses; it was true for the previous four houses we rented). On the other hand, WiFi was pretty fast, which is not common for Cape rentals but much appreciated. Millenials visited and had to check devices.

The owner is very responsive and answered questions quickly, and a local caretaker came within an hour when we had an issue with a sliding door that was getting stuck.

All in all, the house is an excellent value and we hope to return. show more show less
