Fantastic getaway!

This was a wonderful place for me, my husband and our 18 year old daughter. We had an initial issue, but Jackie took care of it as quickly as possible.It’s a perfect location for exploring the cape. We went to five baseball games and 2 shows and it was a great middle point for our adventures.The bed was comfortable, the kitchen well stocked (but no lobster pot), and the weather was nice enough that my daughter could use the porch as her bedroom. The a/c units were perfect.The view is amazing. We took our coffee every morning on the lawn and watched the water. My husband even “fished” from the dock (no catching). Neighbors were super nice & quiet.A peaceful oasis. Thank you!!!

Wonderful stay! Comfy cute cabin on the cove. A few suggestions: Provide a pot large enough for a few ears of corn, or a few lobsters. Figure out how to keep bugs out, we were badly bitten. Other than that, great stay! Figure

A Perfect Get Away

House was in good condition upon arrival, wonderful area, away from the crowds yet close to destinations. Our stay was quiet and peaceful and nice being able to spend time outside on the water from the yard.

Cute cottage

Perfect for what we needed for two adults and one 14 y.o. Right on the water with beautiful views. Kitchen has pretty much everything you need, including paper towels and sandwich bags, etc), although I wish it had a lobster pot. Nice sized bathroom (also tissues and toilet paper included ) It is off of a busy street, so getting in and out of the driveway is a bit tricky during heavy traffic times. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect Cottage for a Long Weekend

My husband and I stayed here for our 25th anniversary trip. The cottage met all our needs! We always prefer to have a kitchen so that we have the option of meals in. Being right on the water afforded us with gorgeous sunrises each morning. The convenience of the location on Rte 6 made it easy to get to Provincetown or any other nearby town. The cottage is tucked away enough from the road that it was very quiet, and very little road noise can be heard. A 5 minute drive to the Salt Pond visitor center and Coast Guard beach, Nauset Light beach, etc. on the outer cape and more beaches on the bay side (First Encounter). We hope to be back some day.

Cute cottage

Wasn’t clean at all. I informed the property owner who then said she informed her cleaner. I really just wanted an apology but all I got was an “I’m sorry you feel it wasn’t cleaned”. Even though I sent a bunch of pictures… the beds had dirt and sand on top of the mattress pad, the couches had sand and crumbs all in the crevices, there was crumbles all over the shelves where the toaster was and the floors were also dirty. It’s the kind of place though that if it was nice and cleaned I would of definitely stayed there again.

Urine soaked and dirty

We stayed one night of a four-day break in this place and had to move due to the overwhelming smell of urine. The property is tired and the furniture looks and smells as though it has been reclaimed from the roadside, with a filthy urine-soaked sofa bed and a rusty fridge. We are a family of four intending to use the sofa bed, so we had to sleep with one of our children in the stroller. We advised the owner of this and we were pointed to a second sofa bed on the porch, but I sat on this for five minutes and ended up covered in bites. We made the booking in March and were asked to bring our own linens. We explained this was not a problem as we were being particularly Covid safe due to having two babies and would be staying as part of a road trip. It would have been helpful if the owner had mentioned that this time that the property was not suitable for families and only had one usable bed. This stay was part of my big 40th birthday celebration and the first time since Covid that we were travelling with our children, and we were very much looking forward to it. We stayed at several rental properties on our trip, and having rented my own property out before, I am more than aware of what is acceptable. This property is not habitable. The owner has left me a negative review as a guest, which is inaccurate, as we have paid in full for a property that we have not stayed in, including a cleaning charge which is laughable. We didn’t even unpack as the thought of our clothes picking up the odour is not worth thinking about. I have absolutely nothing to gain from exaggerating the condition of this property, as having to find alternative accommodation in the peak of summer in Cape Cod with two babies is the absolute last thing we would have chosen to do. We moved to the Four Points by Sheraton down the road, which was the same price but is closer to places to eat, shops, et cetera. I recommend this as an alternative instead of wasting any time on this place, as we did wasting a full day of our holiday waiting for the caretaker and searching for alternative accommodation. While this property looks kitsch on photos, it smells and feels as though vagrants have been living there. I am in absolute shock that previous guests have not mentioned this on their reviews. We tried to air the place out with doors and windows open for two hours before even notifying the owner, but it was so bad that it actually took our breath away. We would have left the

This cottage is located in a perfect place for kayaking. Loved the peaceful view and the central location to beaches and the bike trail. This cottage brings you back to old Cape Cod, it is basic, but, has everything you need. We were able to cook several great meals in the kitchen and enjoyed all areas outside, the picnic table, the sun porch, and the inside dining option with the table that folds out.

The location was great, but the cottage itself is overpriced for what you get. It's really basic, the kitchen needs a major update and the furniture could use it too. Getting out of the area these cottages are in gets you out on a road that's almost impossible to turn left on, it's a high speed road so access out is risky, at best. It just looks better from the outside than the inside. Still, if you're willing to pay this price for a VERY basic place, it works.

Excellent Stay by the Cove

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at this peaceful hideaway tucked right by Town Cove in Eastham. The setting was calm and scenic, perfect for slow mornings with a view and easy access to the best of Cape Cod—including Coast Guard Beach, Nauset Beach, and local trails. The space was spotless, private, and thoughtfully equipped, with seamless keypad entry, WiFi.. Whether we were relaxing by the water or exploring nearby Orleans and the National Seashore, this stay offered everything we hoped for. A perfect romantic retreat—we’d absolutely come back!

Hidden Gem!

The cottage is exactly as described in the listing and in the pictures. It’s an adorable little Cape Cod cottage on the cove. 500 square feet is big enough for 4-5 people. The bathroom was surprisingly larger than expected! small kitchen but that along with the outdoor grill provides enough for cooking daily meals. If you are looking to cook a large meal I would suggest bringing larger pots/pans as there are limited supplies given the size of the place. The small beach and dock are public but private. No one was there during our stay. The cottage is off route 6 but down a private cul de sac with beautiful homes around it. We fished off the dock and made a fire at night in the fire pit. The cottage is in close proximity to many cape cod beaches, salt ponds and only a 40 minute drive to PTown.Overall the place is just adorable and so peaceful. We will definitely be back!!

About the host

Hosted by Jackey M

Host profile image
We live in upstate NY on a small lake. We love the outdoors especially boating/watersports, sailing and the mountains for hiking and skiing. On the Cape we enjoy: the beaches and low tide walking, biking the rail trail, hiking Wellfleet, movies at the Orpheum in Orleans, sailing, and of course swimming/boogey boarding/skim boarding.

Why they chose this property

We wanted something on the water and Eastham on Town Cove is perfect. Less than a mile from all the amenities in Orleans and gorgeous bay beaches and the National Seashore are minutes away.

What makes this property unique

You can put a canoe or kayak into the water right outside the door to the cottage. The cottage has a great bathroom for its size, air conditioning and a very functional kitchen. Outdoor grill and picnic table with views of the Cove. Long community dock to watch the sunrise and sunset. Great views and very private.
