Our family enjoyed our stay in this comfortable and conveniently located house in Eastham. The house is 3-5 minutes walk from the beach down a quiet private lane. The beach is also quiet, on the inner side of the Cape. During low tide, our whole family enjoyed walking out hundreds of yards to the ocean, exploring the sandy beach, tidal pools, and salt marshes along the way. We caught everything from fish to hermit crabs to snails to green crabs to spider crabs, found sea shells, clams, and horseshoe crab shells.
The house is also 5-10 minutes drive away from the Cape Cod National Seashore National Park, facing the outer side of the Cape. The closest beach there, Coast Guard beach, is nice and sandy. There are also good walking and biking trails both in the Park, and leading to the park. The Cape Cod Rail Trail, a long biking path, is easily accessible from the park or other locations 10-15 minutes drive away.
There are several good dining options nearby. In addition to the typical tourist spots that serve up fried food, local favorites such as CShore and Karoo are only minutes of drive away. Plus Ben and Jerry's which quickly became a hit with our kids.
The house has 3 bedrooms with plenty of room for our family of 4 and can easily sleep 6. Owner has been very communicative and easily reachable, and has left various board games and books for guests to enjoy. There's also a grille and a fire pit! The only downside is there is no AC, and we happened to stayed here during one really hot spell. Great beach weather, but also hot overnight.
There's plenty of backyard space for kids and adults to play games, and a nice patio with umbrella to sit and relax. Neighborhood is quiet; you can see other houses through thick bushes but plenty of privacy.
Overall we enjoyed a very relaxing week here in Eastham, and would come back and stay here again!
