Breezy, Spacious, Quiet
Eastham Vacation Rental - ID 27009

We needed a space to accommodate a 4-generation family reunion and this house was perfect in every way. Clean and well appointed, centrally located to beaches and shopping, our family thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Thank you, Tatiana and Gregory!

The owners met us there..............gave us a complete tour. Very nice and professional. Was a great house to rent close to beaches, bike trail, etc. Enjoyed all aspects of the screened in porch, the deck and grill............the large dining room table. Great place to stay, highly recommend!

We stayed at this home for two weeks and were very pleased with the entire experience! We met Tatiana upon our arrival and was immediately struck with the amazing cleanliness of this home, she was sure to have it thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, which made us feel really comfortable given the pandemic. Tatiana graciously showed us through the entire property and pointed out all of the amenities and where everything was in the very well appointed kitchen! It was a great handoff and start to our vacation.

As for the property itself, the house was laid out wonderfully and we were able to accommodate our extended family of 10 very comfortably. We really loved the screened in porch and spent lots of time there, and my son in law loved the firepit and lit very comfortable fires for us several evenings with the supplied firewood, also a great touch. We also loved the neighborhood, very private but centrally located in Eastham. We would recommend this property to others, and plan on returning next year. Thanks to Tatiana and Gregory for everything!

Our family had an amazing, relaxing visit here. The home is spacious and airy, enclosed porch and kitchen are so enjoyable! Outside deck, fire pit, and private yard are a peaceful retreat. You are close to bike trail and centrally located on the Cape.

Homeowner is so friendly and accommodating. Experience authentic Cape Cod living!

We have been coming to Eastham for a family vacation for 34 years, during which time our family has grown considerably...we are now 4 families! We were so lucky to have found this beautiful home to accommodate us.There's ample room to both be together and to have private space. This was more than renting a cottage, though. Tatiana and Gregory are real hosts...we have never encountered such welcoming owners. Both met us on the day we arrived, making sure that we had everything we needed. After a particularly heavy rainstorm which actually closed Route 6, Tatiana even called to make sure that all was well.

One of our favorite times of the day were mornings....we'd have coffee on the screened porch and watch our grandchildren come down sleepy eyed to join us. We played board games on the very large dining room table, and had memorable cookouts on the back deck. There was plenty of room in the yard to play whiffle ball games or to relax in the hammocks The bunnies in the yard were an added attraction. The kitchen area is beautiful and has everything we needed.
The house is situated in such a quiet area...It's amazing that it's so close to Route 6. The road is safe for bikes and scooters, and is pretty close to the bike path too. Beaches and fresh water ponds are a quick drive away.

Loved our stay and hope to come back next year!

Our family had another wonderful stay at Gregory and Tatiana's lovely home. It's centrally located to enjoy the Outer Cape, it's got everything needed to help make for a comfortable and relaxing family vacation, and Gregory and Tatiana are very accommodating, friendly and professional landlords.

This was our tenth year renting this home. We love staying here. It is comfortable, quiet, and easy to access the National Seashore, bay side beaches, ponds and the bike path. Tatiana is a great host, and we love the improvements they have made to their home.

We have been renting this property for a week every summer for the past 7-8 years! It easily accommodates four generations of family, and has bedrooms and a full bath on the first floor for the older generation. It is very close to the bike path, allowing us to bike to the beach (First Encounter, Coast Guard and Nauset Light+) and Great Pond, shopping and of course, The Chocolate Sparrow in Orleans! The house is always neat and tidy, and there are improvements each year.

Summer Guest House

The guest house stands
on the brow of the sandy hill--
The path up is littered with shells and stones
rescued from nearby beaches.

Gathering spot for family,
traveling from Vermont, France, nearby...
bringing dogs, coolers, bags
of chips, bikes and helmets.
Tatiana often lingers to greet us;
her accent welcomes, charms us,
as her husband finishes mowing.

At night we hear the laughter from a nearby cottage as we sit around the table
teaching Millionaire Rummy to the youngest grandchild.
Her small hands struggle to hold and sort the cards:
kings together, queens together--
laughing we re-invent the rules.

Each summer we browse a stranger's library:
medical books, biographies of Russian dissidents,
English and Russian. We study paintings
on the walls: a jewel toned icon, Tatiana's
sketch of her mother, viewed in the mirror
above the sideboard--now in Russian Nirvana.

Feet track in sand and salt, add to the patina
of the floors, wear down the corner of the rug bit by bit.
A translucent beach stone joins others in the walkway;
the chipped pane of glass in the sliding porch door
reminds us where the dog ran into it.

The stars are brighter here, at the Guest House,
closer to Earth; celebrants of family birthdays.
Fingers mark the mixing bowls,
concocting a birthday cake for three generations:
Sister, daughter, granddaughters, an oft absent son-in-law.
Colt-legged cousins decorate cake, kitchen,
noses with cascades of whipped cream!

Smoke of birthday candles rises into star studded night;
soon we pack up the sandy towels,
take the damp bathing suits from the line,
go our separate ways, putting a
water-smoothed pebble in a pocket.
--Peggy Brightman 2017

This is the third year we rented this wonderful house for our annual vacation to Cape Cod. We need a larger house due to the number of people we bring and this property more than meets the requirements. It is spacious, clean and allows pets - what more could you want? Tatiana is a gracious host and always available if needed.

The house is close to Orleans, the beach, and the bay, and we will be back next year.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely, well equipped, maintained and spacious home. The home is inviting inside and out. Morning coffee on the screened in porch was the perfect start to every day, and relaxing evening fires in the fire pit were the perfect ending. The location is simultaneously convenient and private.

Our family has enjoyed Tatiana's lovely home and gracious hospitality during five wonderful summer vacations now. We stay each year for two weeks, and wish it could be longer! Our family group ranges from 7 to 10 people, and we're always comfortable in Tatiana's home.

Tatiana is a respectful and attentive landlady who cares deeply about her home, and it shows. The home is spacious and comfortable, very well-located, and has many special touches and all the necessary amenities. The quiet neighborhood is great for walking, is convenient to the Orleans Stop & Shop and the Eastham Superette (a must-visit!), and is a great launching point for all recreational activities.

Tatiana improves the home every year, and each improvement adds to the home's charm. This summer we enjoyed gathering around the new fire pit in the back yard.

We all highly recommend Tatiana's home. Just don't try to take our two weeks! :)

We had a great family vacation stay at Joshua's Way! The home was very spacious for our large family (8 adults) get together, and being allowed to bring our dogs was a plus! The home is very clean and has all the amenities. I love how we were so centrally located, and close to sites. And yet the home was in a quiet location. I enjoyed morning walks with the dogs in the neighborhood and the room in the yard to play. We would definitely love to vacation here again.

This is the second year we have rented this home for our vacation. It is one of the few that are big enough for our entire family, allows dogs and has a great backyard with a fire pit. The home is set up to relax and the owners are are very polite and easy to deal with. We will rent it again.

50 Joshua's Way is a beautiful and comfortable home with almost every convenience one might need. Our family vacation was wonderful. Six adults and three children were most comfortable and we never felt crowded. The home was clean and well appointed. The kitchen was beautiful and a pleasure to cook in. The deck was a dream to BBQ on (even though it was a charcoal grill, it worked great) and the screened in porch protected us from the bugs at night. The children enjoyed running around the yard. We love Eastham because of the proximity to Ponds, National Sea Shore and Bay beaches. The location of the home was convenient to everything, including route 6 and the supermarket. Tatiana and Gregory were lovely, accommodating and more than helpful. Thanks for everything.

We have a big family that vacations together and this house met all of our expectations. It was roomy, spacious, clean, and modern. I believe the best compliment for the owner and the house is we are looking to renting it again next year.

Immaculate Vacation Home
My family and I had the good fortune of renting this home at the end of the summer August 2014. The kitchen is beautiful and plenty of rooms for a large family. Even though we were the last renters for the season, I found the home to be in a clean and orderly manner. The owners were always available although there were no issues. They were very pleasant and easy to make arrangements with -- which in itself was great. I highly recommend this home.
Recommended for: Families with Young Children, Girls Getaway, Age 55+.

Had a great time together as a family. The house was a clean, spacious and fully updated kitchen to accommodate the whole family. It is in a great location for either going to the bay or ocean side. The owner was wonderful to work with and I would recommend this home to anyone.

Looking forward to our fifth summer in 2013
The entire family enjoyed your lovely home – the porch, and especially the new deck! We also enjoy the comfortable furniture and interesting art work on the walls. Looking forward to returning for our fifth summer in 2013!
Peg, Adam, Alisa, Naomi, Celia, Chris, Sarah, Dorcy, and Betty!

The Gang Getaway
Had the best time ever getting the whole family in one house all 12 of us was an experience. The house was perfect for any family reunion or large gathering. Very clean and spacious. The owners were very accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone with a large family. It's perfectly located close enough to go to Bay side swimming or Ocean side swimming.

Christine P. gave us 4 out of 5 stars on the Homeaway website

This was a very special two weeks for our family in your beautiful house. It was perfect for us. We loved both porches, and really enjoyed using the grill. We were amazed at all the different types of birds we saw and even spotted a coyote loping down Deacon Paine one afternoon! This location was just perfect for us – so close to all the beaches and other locations we love.

Fantastic Week & Great Memories
Thank you for opening your home to us. We had a fantastic week – bright sunshine and fresh breeze each day! Enjoyed the hammock for relaxing, the screen porch for games and family time, the porch (deck) for lovely dinner and the rest of the house for great memories. Of course the outdoor shower was a big hit – from the four year old to the 40 year old! <…> Great memories with our entire family – visits from as close as Holbrook, MA (sister) to as far away as my nephew in the Marines home on leave from California. Thanks again, Sharon M., Manchester, NH

Perfect for our Three-Generation Family
We loved staying in your beautiful home. It was perfect for our three-generation family that included our 2,5 year old grandson, and grandpuppy. The hammock was so comfortable, and the outdoor shower was great at all times of the day. We loved the proximity of the bike trail and beaches, and enjoyed making wonderful meals and spending time family in this comfortable home. Thank you so much, we hope to come again!

We want to come back again and again!
I enjoyed you lovely house as much as ever. Betty G., 91.
We love your house! And we had a wonderful week here, all four generations. We want to come back again and again! Dorcy E., Paris, France
Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us! A lovely spot – which we enjoyed so much. Peg B.
Loved coming back to your home – Thanks again! Adam B., with extended family, Cornwall, VT

Peaceful Cape Cod Vacation
What a lovely home – from the outdoor shower - to the screened porch – to the antique touches in the bedrooms! We had an absolutely peaceful Cape Cod vacation. Thank you for opening your home to us. All three generations enjoyed being here.

Another wonderful week at Joshua’s Way! The rain did not stop us from a few soggy bike rides, completing a 999-piece puzzle – anyone find a missing piece?! Mad sack races, art projects, delightful gourmet meals and trips to the beach - bay and National Seashore sides. Once again, this house perfectly met our needs, from a five years old to a 90-years old and one canine companion. Many thanks for sharing your lovely home and being very attentive. Peace! Betty, Peg, Dorcy, Celia, Chris, Sarah, Adam, Naomi, Alisa, and Annie (dog). Adam B., with extended family, Cornwall VT

Great Location
Thank you so much for letting us rent your beautiful home. My son had his friends visit and we had plenty of room. We enjoyed driving on the beach at Nauset Beach, swimming at Coast Guard, Marconi, and Nauset Lighthouse Beach. We found your home to be a great location for all our favorite beaches. We loved the outdoor shower (nice and roomy). We had lunch on the porch, it was very pleasant. I especially enjoyed watching the birds!

Week of Wonders
Our week was truly full of wonders:
•being together with our family, two sons and their four children;
•rediscovering favorite places from their childhood – boardwalk at sunset at the Audubon Sanctuary, more baby crabs at First Encounter Beach;
•and best of all being with each other on your delightful porch and in your lovely natural garden.
We all thank you! Howard & Marcia H., Wayland, MA

Welcoming and Charming Place
Our entire family loved being in your beautiful home. It is a welcoming and charming place – and the area beaches are great for all ages (4 to 89!). We all hope to return here next summer, so please let us know when you are renting again. It’s a well-equipped kitchen for happy cooks – which is very unusual to find. Thank you so much! Peg B.
Highlights of Cape Week August 23-29, 2009 • Lovely, breezy home complete with screened porch, hammock, grill and plenty of room for six adults, two kids, and one dog! •Beautiful, sunny, breezy days •Proximity to bike path, beaches – fresh and salt water, low-traffic walks •Audubon Center: aquarium and ramble •Long lazy meals which didn’t require a last minute trip for kitchen equipment – it is all there! Thank you! Alisa B.
I really enjoyed your lovely home, especially the screened porch. Thank you! Betty G., 89
Thank you so much for sharing you lovely home with us! We had great weather and thoroughly enjoyed the beaches and the biking on the Rail Trail – wonderful for the kids (and adults!). We would love to come back next year. Celia D.
Your home is ideal for a 4-generation family reunion – spacious, well-equipped and near beaches and so much more! Thank you – I hope we can return next year… Dorcy E., Paris, France
We all enjoyed your home very much. Thanks for attending to so many details. We’ve been looking for a house to rent annually since we sold our grandparents’ home in South Chatham several years ago. We hope we can return next year. Adam B. with extended family, Cornwall, VT

Well Equipped
Thank you very much for letting us stay in your house. It is very well equipped – we even found a tire pressure gauge, but we did not have a chance to use it. We used the sunroom a lot, it is breezy and relaxing. <…> Dogs loved your tile floor in the kitchen area. Most of the houses we stayed in before stripped everything to the minimum. We really appreciate you leaving a well furnished house with various stuff like herbs. <…> Thank you for telling us about Herring Pond, it does not allow dogs, but the rest of us had a great time there.

A Very Peaceful Place
Thank you very much for the house & hospitality. We had a great week (minus the fireworks), and would love the opportunity to stay again. Ken & Kathy S. with extended family, Thomaston, CT (return guests July 2010, August 2011 & 2013 )
