Cute, Comfortable, Classic Cape Cottage

We loved our time staying at this cozy cottage in Eastham. Noreen and Tom were gracious hosts, providing for our needs without ever being intrusive. The house was very clean and well-stocked. The location was convenient for exploring the wonders of Cape Cod. The air conditioning unit in the main room kept the whole place cool, and the house was nice and quiet indoors. The place was closer to the highway than I expected. This made it convenient for going to the beach or restaurants and stores, but there was traffic noise when outside in the yard (which, by the way, was very pretty!). We had a great vacation staying at this lovely vacation home!

Great house!

Wonderful well-appointed house with everything you could need! Extremely clean and comfortable house. Great location right off of route 6 with easy access to Eastham and other cape destinations. Small compact layout, bathroom is small (tight space where the toilet was, as described by my large husband) but it was fine. Nice property with attentive hosts!

Wonderful Vacation Home

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this well appointed, very clean and organized vacation home. The location provides easy access to many beaches and a kayak launch. The hosts Noreen and Tom are knowledgeable and willing to share their wealth of knowledge of the Eastham community. Oh, and the Barry's Tea is a plus! Thank you!!!

Great Eastham Option

We liked this cottage very much. It was very clean and well-maintained, and extremely well-equipped, including all manner of small appliances. The owners were communicative and very responsive and helpful and friendly (they even left us a gift bag of goodies because some outside re-shingling was not yet finished and they felt bad about that, even though it didn't bother us a bit—there were no workmen there during our stay). We have been going to this part of the Cape for over 25 years and have stayed at a large number of places; this was one of our favorites.

About the host

Hosted by Noreen Thompsen

We previously owned the Cove Bluffs Motel, a small family motel as well as this house and the house has many regulars that have been staying here for years. We sold the motel and are now hoping to spend some time at the beach and kayaking from our Town Cove beach ourselves after 16 years of very intensive summers. We have traveled extensively with vacation rentals through Homeaway all over the world and know what makes for a great vacation rental. We have tried to provide all the extras to make your stay enjoyable.

We met when living in Karlsruhe, Germany in 1986 and in 2016 celebrated "Zoo Day" (our first date at the Karlsruhe Zoo 30 years before). Tom studied German in college so he can conjugate verbs and Noreen learned "survival" German and can eat and shop fluently. Noreen also studied French in college and can still read it fairly well and can still communicate somewhat. Our daughter graduated from McGill in Montreal so now I don't practice as much as I would like. We both get better with practice in the two languages and have hosted many guests from Germany, France and Canada over the years.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house because of it's proximity to our house and it's great location just 2 miles from the Cape Cod National Seashore Visitor Center and the beautiful sunsets and tide pools at First Encounter (bay side) Beach. Great Pond (Wiley Park) is also nearby and provided a freshwater swim location where our kids took swim lessons. Eastham has a small town feel but near plenty of live theater, live music, shopping, museums, lectures and cultural events.

What makes this property unique

The house has a nice 3/4 acre lot rimmed by trees and a thick buffer zone of trees between it and route 6. The private backyard, grill and picnic table give guests a great location for a cook-out. We added the wrap around deck a few years ago to further enhance the nature experience. Birds, bunnies and squirrels are our yard mates and a 3 Minute walk to our little marsh beach on Town Cove is a great stroll whether or not you bring or rent a kayak or canoe. If you do kayak or canoe, a must is a picnic on uninhabited Hopkins Island just across the Cove and a paddle through the salt marshes.
