Our family group of 4 seniors, 3 thirty somethings and an infant had the best time time I've ever had at the Cape. The house was clean, spacious, well stocked and visually gorgeous with the plantings, private setting and landscaping. We really enjoyed the second floor deck to relax and view the lighthouse. We loved the wooded 2 minute walk to Nauset Light Beach, (lovely sand and dunes, clean and convenient facilities), and even walked along the shore to Coast Guard and the Salt Pond Visitor's Center. The house is near the bike trail. A few minutes in the car will take you to Rt 6 with anything you might need, but mostly we walked to the beach every day. Our very gracious hosts were the best, responded to questions immediately, and thought of everything for a perfect stay. More to mention here -the washer & dryer, nice grill, comfy beds, foosball table, and more! We plan to return next summer. show more show less

Our family had a lovely stay. It is a beautiful house - inside and out. It is a great location. The surf hums and the wind gently whistles through the trees. We'd recommend it to anyone and we hope to return.

We can not imagine a better location than Ann and Rick's home to spend our summer vacation – which is why we have been going there each summer for 8 years. The National Seashore in Eastham is arguably one of the most beautiful beaches in the country – and you are a two-minute walk. There is no waiting in a line to park, no rushing to get in the car to beat the beach traffic, no getting in the car ever if you so choose. Big waves and lots of boogie boarding each relaxing day. If you do choose to leave the house, jump on your bike and you are a five-minute ride to the Cape Code bike path, or better yet ice cream at Ben and Jerry’s. For dinner have the Friendly Fisherman steam you a lobster and eat it on the deck with the lovely breeze. Enjoy a competitive putt putt game at one of the local courses. Don’t forget to grab a permit for a bonfire on the beach at night. The house is clean, spacious and well appointed with all the amenities you could possibly need. A great place to create family memories.

We have to compliment the owners about many things but first and foremost is the location. We won't soon forget walking down a beautiful seaside trail to Nauset Light Beach during the day and watching the beams from Nauset Light at night. The Cape Cod National Seashore, we think, is an ideal spot for a Cape Cod vacation. You'll have a 2 minute walk to the dramatic beauty of the National Seashore and will be only 3 miles to calmer beaches on Cape Cod Bay. Eastham is not as commercial as some areas but is a 10 minute drive down Route 6 to major retail in Orleans. The rental itself is spacious, clean and welcoming. It's a home more than a cottage and the owners have a knack for anticipating renters' needs. We lacked for nothing and there seemed to be a hook, shelf or space to store everything we brought with us. You'll enjoy reading about the history of this cottage and #9597 as an artist's residence and studio. Highly recommended. show more show less

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found your home very vacation friendly. The extreme makeover is just unbelievable. Joe got lucky surf fishing and caught a striper each day. Watching the seals and surf was awesome.

"Our favorite family vacation house!!! This house has more ammenities than we expected and enought space for everyone!! Our teens and tweens loved sleeping in the bunkroom downstairs and we loved relaxing on the deck upstairs and in the family room. A trip to town for a fire permit is really worth the effort. There's no one on the beaches at night - and the days are glorious. Ann and Rick are great and really helped ot make our vacations perfect. "

Your home is lovely and so conducive to simply hanging out with family and friends. Your attention to detail was not overlooked.

You will not be disappointed with your stay here! Clean, beautifully decorated, with all the comforts of home and then some. The house had everything we needed right down to games and playing cards! Our kids loved the outdoor shower after the beach! It was great to walk to the beach, come back for lunch and walk back to the beach again. A true slice of Cape Cod! Great family memories were made! We will be back!!

This are of Cape Cod has been a favorite of ours for sometime now. We so enjoyed your home - to have all the comforts of home in our favorite place made for a wonderful vacation. You really thought of absolutely everything. The design of the house and your tasteful, appropriate decor and the many little touches throughout made us feel we were in someone's special home - not just any rental property. We hope to return.

Thank you for a wonderful week! We appreciate you sharing this very special place. My mother-in-law found your home very clean - kudos to you! A great home that offered everything for the young and the old.
