The property description and pictures are spot-on, as this is truly a "charming" home in a great location. This is our 12th visit to Eastham to spend time with local family and our 7th vacation home rented, and this home compares nicely with other properties in the area.
Though this house is indeed "older", which is common out here on the Cape, the home is clean, well-maintained, and does all the basics very well including comfortable beds, nice gathering spaces, decent appliances, with everything in working order.
The sunroom, which opens up to the living room through a pair of French doors, is a great place to gather on a sunny or rainy day, and air conditioning, provided by multiple window units upstairs and down, was more than adequate to keep everyone comfortable on our warmer August days. There is a convenient mudroom / laundry room when you enter from the back of the property which was perfect for kicking off sandy shoes and storing your beach gear, with a nice large washer and dryer in a convenient location if you happen to need it.
The 3 bedrooms upstairs were comfortable and fit our family of six very nicely. Accessed by a winding staircase which adds to the charm of the house with a small, shared half bath, it was nice to have separate sleeping spaces up, and living space down, which helps for our family of both early birds and the late sleepers.
The location is great. Only two-tenths of a mile from the Cape Cod Rail Trail (easily accessed via a short footpath at the end of a dead-end road directly across from the side of the property), which allowed easy access to a number of places without getting in your car including PB Boulangerie (excellent French bakery in Wellfleet), Hole-in-One Donuts and Sam's Deli. The ocean beaches are close, and biking on the local streets is easy and safe. We biked, walked, and jogged to Nauset Light Beach several times for short visits not requiring a lot of beach gear. The outdoor shower was great and there is a large picnic table out back to gather and eat outside on a nice day.
Mark, was excellent to work with and very responsive to questions. We very much hope to return to this property for our next visit and would definitely recommend this home to others. show more show less
