Comfortable, Vintage Cottage for Two
North Eastham Vacation Rental - ID 4034

This cute little gem is walking distance to Cooks Brook beach, one of the many wonderful bay side beaches in Eastham, and a short drive to the drive-in theater and P.B. Boulangerier (the primo French bakery and restaurant) in Wellfleet. The bed was firm but comfy and the rooms spacious.

We enjoyed many breakfasts out on the back deck while watching rabbits, chipmunks and a variety of birds going about their daily business. It always felt private. Karen, Joe and Micheal are wonderful caretakers, making sure everything is going well but in no way intrusive. Though the place is meant for two, our daughter stayed a few days in the beginning and we never felt uncomfortable or crowded. We look forward to another stay here in the near future!

Our stay was very comfortable. Karen was most accommodating and helpful. The bed was good and a queen size. All the appliances worked, and it was not hard to make dinners with a well equipped kitchen. The location is not too far from the bay, the beach was very handy, and the cottage was in a pretty location with lots of greenery all around. We had a very nice time.

My wife and I had a wonderful week in this charming Outer Cape cottage. In particular, we loved the birds singing in the morning, the short walk to the beach, and easy drive to all our favorite spots in Wellfleet, Eastham and Orleans. We also appreciated the new appliances and the overall cleanliness of the place.

Karen and Joe were great hosts too--nearby and attentive to our few requests. We hope to have the opportunity to stay here again!

My dear friend and I visited the Cape as a late summer escape from the heat of NYC and the work demands of fall. The cheerful yellow cottage was ideal for us -- simple, clean, and welcoming, furnished thoughtfully with all we needed for a comfortable, quiet retreat, including the hosts' personal recommendations for special places to see and where to eat the best local seafood.

We savored the incredible natural beauty of the Cape: hiking, whale watching, beach picnics, and by far the most beautiful sunsets (painted skies!) I have ever seen. Our hosts Karen and Joseph were both wonderfully available and attentive, while also offering ample space for a just-right feeling of autonomy and freedom. I highly recommend a visit!

Staying at The Anne Street Cottage is somewhat like going back to the cottage in which you summered as a child. I would describe it as an older structure that has been modernized by a DIY owner - so it is airy and light-filled and METICULOUSLY CLEAN. And there is an unusually comfortable queen size mattress/bed. All appliances are contemporary and function without problems. So - everything works well, but when there is something that the owners must tend to, the response is quick and friendly but never intrusive or nosey. (The owners' house is close by on the same property but bushes & trees make it private.) If you care, there is no air conditioning or clothes dryer - there is a good washer and clothes line for drying.

Minor quirks - The throw rugs in the bedroom are tacky looking & pose a fall threat.
A big plus - IT IS AFFORDABLE.

When doing our annual search-for-a-cottage-to-enjoy-for-a week-that-we-can-afford, we look for several features that are listed in the checkoff boxes on weneedavacation, most particularly, outdoor shower, proximity to a beach, wifi. But we also seek those features that don't appear in the list. These features can be found only through looking at photographs of the property, and from reading reviews. We look for ample counter space because we cook and are good at it; horizontal surfaces free from clutter or cutsey decorations where we can put OUR stuff; a pleasant, open decor; and agreeable hosts. This property fulfilled all of our requirements, and for an affordable price. There were miles of counter space, empty horizontal surfaces, lots of light, and an open plan that made the space seem larger than you'd expect. Karen and Joseph, who reside nearby, are the perfect hosts: helpful, friendly, informative, and fun. They are there when you need something, or want to "hang", yet don't intrude and give you all the privacy you desire. We would certainly rent this cottage again, for two weeks this time!

This is a delightful little cottage, very cozy and comfortable with nice furnishings, comfortable bed, WIFI, good basic TV package and everything you will need. It is very well kept up and thoughtfully organized to be easy and relaxing. Nice walking neighborhood and not far from a beautiful bay beach. Loved every minute!

We have been vacationing at the Cape for many years, and this cottage is our perennial favorite--we always feel perfectly at home here. There's plenty of room for the 2 of us and we have everything we need. The location is exactly right for our favorite beaches. The cottage is comfortable, quiet and private, and best of all, Karen and Joseph are the nicest people and the most gracious hosts you'll ever want to meet.

This is long overdue...
My husband and I usually vacation on Cape Cod with his family, and they tend to stay near Dennis. We branched off for 2015 and found this adorable cottage and we fell in love. It was the perfect size for a couple. The kitchen was big enough to cook in (and we did). The bathroom was right across from the back door, which made it easy to keep sand and dirt out of the cottage. The beach is truly a short walk away, and through a small neighborhood with light traffic. We walked down there every night to watch the sunset.

The owners of the property actually live right next door. They were perfect hosts! Karen does her own cleaning, so the place was immaculate when we got in. She made sure our kitchen had what it needed, and was only a phone call or email away, had we needed anything else. At the same time, they were completely unobtrusive. If we needed anything, Karen would leave the items on the deck table so she wouldn't disturb us. She was also a wonderful resource for off-the-beaten-path activities on the Cape.

If my husband and I are looking for another summer by ourselves on the Cape, this will be our first choice! The love of the hosts in their Cape Cod property comes through in every aspect of your stay, from the upkeep and cleanliness of the cabin, to the desire to make their tenants stay on Cape Cod memorable and relaxing!

I stayed here for a week. It is charming little cottage. Located in a very quiet neighborhood. I walked to the beach and drove to the National Sea Shore which is close by. Best vacation I had in awhile. Would go back again and again! Was a perfect spot for me and girlfriend to get away.

We had such a blast in Eastham! The cottage is in a great location a quick walk.or even quicker bike ride to the beach! The cottage is surrounded by trees and birds and we even saw a fox. We felt like we had everything we needed, we grilled most nights, then walked down to the beach to see the sunset, came home and relaxed on the porch. Eastham itself is a great location too. We hit Arnold's for lobster rolls, there is also a great seafood store, great bike paths and a wonderful bird sanctuary, flea market and drive in theater right down the road in Wellfleet.

Although the ocean side is wonderful, we enjoyed being on the bay side. It felt a little quieter and more private.

Karen and Joseph were wonderful as well!! Although we had our own routine and rarely saw them, they were quick to offer us any advice , etc needed. They even received a Fed Ex package on our behalf-- so we didn't have to miss a precious beach day! Thanks again!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this cottage. Clean & uncluttered, the cottage met all our requirements. Easy walk to the bay with beautiful sunsets & good beach days. Front porch nice for an evening chat, & a back porch with a table, chairs & grill = good for a lobster dinner or a grilled fish dinner at home. Easy bicycle ride to the rail trail. Kitchen very adequately supplied. Good location - close to everything we do. We would stay here again!

This is a lovely cottage with lots of trees and close to all the things we wanted to do on the Cape. It's a short walk to the bay beach and very close to the ocean side beach. Great price, nice owners. Had a wonderful time.

Great location! Easy drive to Provincetown or Chatham. Easy walk to bay beach; short drive or bike ride to Nauset Light Beach. Nice wooded lot.
We will stay here again and have recommended it to family and friends.
