Eastham is the first town on Cape Cod that has BOTH ocean and bay beaches -- which makes the location of this home extra special! (3 night minimum stay off-season.)
Located in a quiet neighborhood, you are a short walk away from Eastham's historic town green where free Monday night concerts are held all summer, colorful arts and craft shows are a regular weekend event, and you can take a free windmill tour. Walk to get a coffee, lunch or snack at the local deli and sit on the green to relax and enjoy the view before strolling home.
Located directly between both picturesque bay AND ocean beaches, you can easily spend the day on a pristine ocean beach then take a quick drive across town to the bay for a pleasant swim in calm, sunset-lit water. From home, it's a quick 1.5 mile drive to either an ocean or a bay beach. Multiple ponds are even closer (check Google map below) and the Cape Cod bike trail is 2/10's miles away, popular for safe and scenic biking, jogging, strolling, and more.
Stroll 4/10's mile to the Little Capistrano bike shop for wheels (or bring your own bike) then head directly onto the Cape Cod bike trail for a day of riding and site seeing. If the nearby bay or ocean beaches are too breezy or crowded, visit the free beach at Great Pond for a swim --or to kayak (they deliver!). It's only 6/10's miles away.
Walk to the National Seashore's Salt Pond Visitor's Center to check their daily schedule of events (for canoe tours on the pond, story telling or walking tours on the beach), visit the museum or watch films of how the cape was formed. Our new state-of-the-art library is also within walking distance, with lovely 2nd floor views of Long Pond -- which includes swimming access behind the building.
Nearby towns have their own unique charm. To name a few: Provincetown (whale watches, shopping & restaurants, people watching), Wellfleet (drive-in movie theatre, artists' shops and famous oysters), Truro (fabulous ocean views), Chatham (unique Main Street shops and eateries).
This vacation home that can be your home base for all of these adventures -and more- has three bedrooms (1 king bed, 1 double, 1 with two twin beds), all with AC units, and two full bathrooms. The living space is an open floor design with AC and includes a full kitchen and dining table that expands to seat 6. You can also retire to a separate den for some quiet time. Watch pairs of cardinals flit around the backyard in the A.M., rabbits hop by around dusk, and wild turkeys wander by on occasion.
The home also includes a deck with outdoor furniture, HDTV, extended cable (with over 1,000 free movies!), wifi, a VCR/DVD, a dishwasher, and coffee maker. There are central vac units on both levels.
For an added fee, bed linens and towels can be provided for visitors traveling from a different part of the country or vacationing from a different country.
