About this property

This charming waterfront cottage is steps from a private beach on Minister's Pond. This is a perfect place for a family vacation. Families of all ages can enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, and the sandy beach on this 25-acre freshwater pond. The cottage is nestled among large pines and is part of the Nauset Haven cottage community. This is a great Outer Cape location, just a short drive to the Eastham beaches on the bay or Nauset Light National Seashore beach on the ocean.

This one-of-a-kind cottage offers a cozy retreat with all the comforts of home. You'll love the refreshing breeze and the stunning pond view from the three-season screened-in porch. The two bedrooms are designed for comfort, accommodating four people, and there's an additional sleeping space on the futon couch in the main room. The full bath features a convenient walk-in shower. Whip up a delicious lobster dinner in our fully equipped kitchenette, or savor some grilled steaks on the spacious deck outside. Access to the cottage is a breeze, with a private parking spot, a smooth walkway, and a step up into the front door entrance or to the deck.

Our site is packed with amenities to keep everyone entertained. Enjoy some friendly competition at the playground, game room, basketball court, horseshoe pit, or volleyball net. For a leisurely activity, take one of our rowboats out on the pond and enjoy the serene surroundings.

The cottage is a few minutes from Orleans and less than a half hour from historic Provincetown, where you can find shops of all kinds, restaurants, whale watching, museums, a fisherman's pier, and much more.

Quaint cottage, perfect location

Our hosts were quick to respond and happy to help with any accommodation needs we encountered. The cottage was super cute, comfortable and clean. Kitchen well equipped. Beautiful view of pond. Did not swim because weather was chilly. Great location near to many beaches, restaurants and hiking trails. Will return next visit to the cape!

A great week on the Cape

We loved being on the pond-best spot on the pond! We swam, used the row boat and watched the pond change with the weather. Cottage is small, but accommodated us perfectly.! I would stay there again!

Small house best for two

It’s a sweet place. It is small and might work best for two adults maybe with a small child. We liked the location but were used to be able to take walks and go to the bay without a car so that was more demanding.
