About this property

Seaside Garden: 2 min walk to the Bay, peaceful, private, bird haven

Secluded, peaceful. Two minute walk to spectacular views looking west at tidal flats, sunsets and private Bay water access.

The house centers around an inviting courtyard/patio, with a European feel, surrounded by a luscious and peaceful garden. Birds abound in this private property.

Newly renovated Master bedroom and bath with a large picture window and a new window so you can see the sky and tree tops while lying in bed. There is a wall air conditioner in the master bedroom. It could be used to cool off the other 2 bedrooms for sleeping. Full bathroom and kitchen. Large, newly completed outdoor shower with mahogany floor, bench and shelves. Room darkening shades available in bedrooms.

NOTE for 2025 season: My neighbor is rebuilding his home. It is likely that the property will be "buttoned up" by June 1, 2025. So, they will likely be working inside and it will be quieter.

Completely childproofed outlets with built-in USB ports to easily recharge your electronic devices. Soft outdoor lighting welcomes you down a wooded path and reflects off of the french lilac tree which arches over the outdoor shower.

The living room looks out to the courtyard and forest with wide, floor to ceiling sliding glass/screen doors. During the cooler months the large windows bring the outside in while you are cozy. However, the fireplace is out of service.

This is the perfect place to enjoy your friends or family and relax. Clean, tasteful and has comfortable beds, each with reading lights. Bunk room can accommodate the occasional extra guest.

Patio, Fireplace, 3 zone Weber Grill, Hammock for two, HD TV with basic Cable/Blue Ray player and Roku, High Speed Internet with WiFi, aux input to AM/FM Stereo, Washer/Dryer, modern kid safe outlets. Built in USB outlets in most rooms to charge your devices.

Fantastic, safe place for young (and old) children to enjoy the vast expanse of sand, shallow tidal pools, western sky and warm water.

Kayak put-in only a 10 minute walk to Campground Landing.

Five minute drive to North Eastham center with Ben and Jerry's, Arnolds, Mac's seafood, gourmet deli, shops, more.

Perfectly situated for easy access by car or bike to ocean beaches, Cape Cod Rail Trail, the National Seashore Center and Wellfleet Audubon Sanctuary.

Bonus for parents of small children: The backyard/ main outdoor living space is completely enclosed by a high, tasteful, wide perimeter fence. So, you can relax instead of worrying about your child wandering off the property.

Water Access: The private water access is a two minute walk via the quiet sandy lane of Westshore Drive accessed from the front of the house. We are six houses in from the water. So, if you forget something while you are at the beach, you can run back and forth to the house and beach in a jiffy.

More fun stuff: There are multiple, lounge chair floats with arm and back rests and a place for your beverage. When the tide is high, you can tie them onto nearby floating moorings to make your own flotilla near the private water access.

Note: The cleaners will apply sanitized pillow protectors with every turnover. However, they will replace mattress pad protectors or blankets only if soiled in any way.
The beds are supplied with mattress pad covers, pillow protectors and cotton blankets.
Tenants supply their own sheets and towels, bathmats, dish towels. Plastic wraps, bags, tin foil, parchment paper are supplied. Unfortunately, pets and pets visitors are not allowed.

Good Location

Solid location by the beach in Eastham. Walking distance to a small private beach as well as Campground beach. Helps a lot with a small kid + crazy town parking fees. House was a little rustic for our tastes but overall it worked out for an early season getaway to Cape Cod.

Comfortable and peaceful

We loved our stay here! The beds were very comfortable, gardens peaceful, and kitchen very well stocked with anything you’d need for cooking. We walked to the bay each night for sunset and enjoyed many games at the big kitchen table. A lovely place to relax and enjoy the Cape!

Sweet cottage!

Beautiful cottage tucked away from the road only a short walk to beach. House is comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed to make some great meals. Chairs for the beach were used every day and we enjoyed the outdoor shower, pretty flowers in the yard and happy birds. Owner was incredibly helpful with problem we had with rented linens. Can’t wait to come back next year.

Great eastham stay

Loved the 5min walk to warm bay water and sunsets! Lots of time on floats and paddle board at high tide. The stand up shower, large kitchen table and several different spaces were big for my family of 5. Great quiet location for morning walks and runs and proximity to outer cape seashore beaches. Nice to have the patio shade also, that really came in handy.

An Absolute Treasure!

This house provides a wonderful private retreat while still being close to beaches and local amenities. The gardens are beautiful and filled with a variety of birds. The surrounding landscaping and lush gardens offer complete privacy for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful outdoor shower. The house is clean, bright and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is well stocked with the necessary cookware and utensils if you enjoy cooking and eating at home. Karin is a lovely hostess— friendly, responsive and accommodating. We had a wonderful week and look forward to returning again.

Absolutely magical!

We’ve been coming to the Cape for years and this has to be our favorite property yet! The cottage itself was clean, spacious, and well-stocked with everything we needed. The yard is an absolute jewel: private, with beautiful plantings and so many birds! We loved the short walk to the beach, with calm water and the smoothest sand. We were sad to leave, and look forward to coming back!

Overall wonderful stay

I love that this home is so cozy and private. Neighbors are nearby but you can’t see them with the beautiful fenced garden. The beach is a quick walk, however many stairs down to the beach was a bit hard on my 70 something friend. Also at high tide be advised there is no beach, water comes up to stairs. We had a few hiccups with the house that I felt were not clearly stated in the house manual. I do give the owner credit for trying to work with us to resolve issues. She was very friendly and communicated well. My advice would be to streamline the house manual, it is quite long and has too many off season vs on season rules to wade through. All that said, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely go back!!

Beautiful beach home, close to beach!

This charming and simple beach home was a wonderful oasis for our family. We enjoyed the tranquility of the garden and the ease of access to the beach and amenities of Eastham close by (including The Landing very close by for coffee and ice cream!). We enjoyed the kitchen supplies provided, as we have three small children and cooked most meals at the home! It was also so helpful to have beach items to borrow. We would love to visit again.

Secret Garden

A beautiful home very close to the bayside beaches with a bonus of being in what felt like a secret garden. Very quiet and peaceful even though there are other homes near by. Fabulous outdoor shower and everything you could possibly want. The owner was very attentive and couldn't have been nicer.

Annual Cape Getaway

We have stayed at other properties and areas of the Cape and Karen's beautiful house has been our favorite. The location was perfect, the beach was only a short walk away, and a grocery store and restaurants are close by. The size of the house fit my family perfectly and the cleanliness of the property was also much appreciated. It was nice not to have to re-clean the house upon arrival. We encountered a few minor issues and Karen maintained communication with us to sort things through. I look forward to enjoying time here again with my family. Thank you Karen!

We completely enjoyed our last minute getaway to this vacation property in a lovely spot in Eastham. Just a short walk to two gorgeous beaches (one private, one town), with all amenities you need, and comfy beds, thus property is great! The owner Karen was kind and available & helped us with any questions and recommendations. The property has a peaceful vibe you can’t help but notice immediately when you arrive! A little CC oasis!

Perfect vacation!

We’ve stayed in Eastham a few times and we loved this property! It is so close to a private beach and also a short walk to Campground Beach. We loved both beaches. The house itself is warm, comfortable, and clean ... we had to be in there quite a bit for virtual school and everyone was happy.

Early Autumn Getaway

My brother, sister-in-law, and I spent a week in Sept. Although the weather was rainy part of the time, the house was nice and cozy. My brother especially loved watching the birds at the feeder (and the chipmunks!) and we used the resident bird books every day. All of us enjoyed the easy access to the beach--both in high tide and low--walking there in the early morning and at sunset. The space felt very private, despite neighbors on all sides. The kitchen was well appointed, and everything was very clean. The only thing that would have made this an absolute perfect getaway (Five Stars!) for us would be brighter overall lighting in the kitchen and dining room (because two of us have very poor vision). The dining room light only covered the center of the long table, (turning it would solve that issue), while a bit more overhead light in the kitchen would also be helpful (although all the current lights are lovely). I think in the summer this is probably less of an issue, since it was overcast for most of the week we were there. The owner was helpful and responded to our questions in a timely manner, and we would definitely consider returning. We would love to visit when the weather is a bit sunnier so we could enjoy sitting out on the wonderful private patio!

Garden Oasis

This very lovely and well equipped house is beautifully furnished with art work and nice furniture. The linens, blankets, glassware, cookware are way above par for a rental property. Everything guests need is available and the owner is extremely responsive and caring about her guests needs. The layout is lovely for 2 couples to share, or a family. The interior garden is peaceful and quiet, with many birds. Parking is in the front of the property so that you cannot hear people drive in and out. The short walk to the bay made everything just perfect. Highly recommend.
