We have rented this little cottage in August for two years in a row. It is a cozy and comfortable accommodation, great for a family of four or two couples who are friends. Even if it's small, inside it is quite spacious and does not lack anything. While on vacation we like to cook and eat at home. The kitchenette is functional and well equipped with pots, pans, etc., including a real Italian moka coffee pot. The big kitchen island provides a good work surface. We love the nice round charcoal Weber grill and picnic table in the backyard, we light the grill almost every night to enjoy our grilled surf and turf al fresco! The large deck is also great for a morning coffee, late night drink, and hanging your beach towels to dry.

One morning this year we were rained in, however, and did not mind playing Monopoly out of the selection of board games available. There are also washer, dryer and dishwasher. Everything is always clean, well kept and in working order. We really like the location minutes away from downtown Orleans and Eastham. The cottage is at hiking distance to the First Encounter Beach (one of our favorites) and a couple of ponds good for swimming through back-roads. Also the rail trail is just minutes away. Other nice ocean (Coast Guard and Nauset) and bay (Skaket) beaches are a 10 minutes drive away. I highly would highly recommend this cute little place to anyone! show more show less

Great cottage for Cape Cod Getaway
We stayed in this Eastham Cottage for a three day weekend. The cottage was clean and well equipped, the beds were comfortable, and the cottage was just the right size for our family. We did some kayaking on the Town Cove and easily made it out to the seashore. The owners Noreen and Tom were friendly, helpful and flexible.

The property is located very close to both Eastham and Orleans, two great Cape Cod towns, and is easily accessible from Rt 6. While I can hear the traffic if outside, you don't hear the any traffic sounds inside the house.

We would definitely stay there again and recommend to friends.

Cozy and family friendly!
We have stayed at this cottage for more than 10 years. It is immaculately clean when you check in, and comfortable for a family of four. The casual atmosphere is very family friendly. We usually go in August and typically enjoy a break in the summer heat. There is an air conditioner, but we like to leave the windows open for the breeze that is pretty constant.
We've never had any issues with the cottage or its amenities. Tom and Noreen are very responsive if there is a problem that comes up during your stay. Once, the refrigerator wasn't working, and it was fixed in less than 24 hours. They listen to guest feedback and we have observed changes to the cottage based on comments they've received. For example, a number of additions have added to the cottage's comfort . . .a new deck, new mattress in the master bedroom, air conditioner, remodeled bathroom, fresh paint, etc. The property is very well maintained.

The location is really great. The cottage is close to the National Seashore, as well as bay side beaches and a fresh water pond. Our favorite is First Encounter Beach which is perfect for kids. At low tide, the beach is huge, and there are many tide pools full of snails, crabs, and minnows. Great Pond is also fun for more of a lake experience, and it has a great playground area.

Route 6 is busy in the summer, but there are lots of restaurants, shops, mini golf, and ice cream stands to visit. It's also only a mile to a major grocery store which is super convenient. Bicycle and kayak rentals are also close by. If you stick to the bike trails, rather than route 6, you'll have an enjoyable ride. Tom and Noreen are also a good resource if you want ideas for things to do or places to go.

We are very satisfied repeat guests, and would highly recommend this cottage for a family friendly, casual week on Cape Cod.
