We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. Phil and Cheryl were fantastic hosts, everything was set up very well and we had all the information and tips we needed. It is a lovely and private location with all the amenities you need and all the fun stuff and amazing restaurants in East, Orleans and Wellfleet only a few mins away. Highly recommended!!

A wonderful stay at a wonderful cottage!Communication with the owners was timely and clear.The cottage was roomy providing both privacy and inviting communal space. The screened in porch was a real hit. The property is well situated. You feel like you’re in the country, wooded and quiet, but has easy access to beaches, shopping and restaurants.We had a memorable and relaxed stay.

Just returned home from a great family trip and stayed at Phil and Cheryl’s great home in Eastham. We were not disappointed! Both Cheryl and Phil were responsive with any questions we had prior to our trip, check in was a breeze and the house was super clean and well stocked upon arrival. We had eight adults and one very happy white lab! There was plenty of room for all of us and we all enjoyed our meals and late afternoon card games and reading on the large screened in porch. The pictures are spot on .. there was plenty of seating for us all and the kitchen was well stocked with lots of dishes, glasses, cups and lots of pots and pans for cooking. Phil and Cheryl had lots of spices, oil and vinegar, garbage bags, paper towels and laundry detergent! Having the washer and dryer was a godsend! We were close to both the National Seashore and the Bay and took advantage of both! We all had a great time!!

Another lovely stay
We enjoyed staying for a second time at this comfortable home on a quiet street (cul de sac) in a lovely neighborhood that's very well-located - near the bike path, bay beaches, grocery store/shops in Orleans. Great for walking our doggie! We especially enjoyed sitting in the shade of the front porch in the late afternoon and enjoying breakfast in the large screened-in porch.

Not nearly worth the money!
Property was in disrepair. Many skylights but all had spider webs and debris. One was broken so when storm hit water rushed in. Many outlets don't work. AC didn't work. Cupboard musty smell--many dishes chipped. Back yard a mess-coudn't use. Closed in porch--moldy chairs --ANTS everywhere. Couldn't use. One TV.

Lovely week at the Cape
We are so happy to have found this home to rent for the week. It is a beautiful house with plenty of space for a memorable family gathering. The screened-in porch nestled amongst the Cape pines was awesome and had a nice breeze in the evening. The Cape Cod bike trail is nearby. Beaches and marsh hikes a short drive away. Would absolutely like to return here! Thank you very much!

Delightful oasis on the cape
We had a really delightful stay at this wonderful house, nestled on a very quiet cul de sac in a convenient location in Eastham. There's some protected land between this road and the short walk to the bike trail, which was perfect for our pooch. We enjoyed many meals in the lovely screened-in porch and afternoon drink on the shaded outside porch. The beds are really comfortable and the upstairs master bedroom/bath is an oasis of privacy, like a separate suite, which was perfect for my Dad. The only thing is that the upstairs does get pretty warm, even in June; a wall unit A/C would make it perfect (perhaps that's already under consideration!).

Great Vacation, Great Space, Beautiful Home with many amenities
My husband and I had a wonderful time at this home. It was huge and we loved the open floor layout. Quiet neighborhood and all the amenities you could ask for. We ate out a lot but I did cook in the fully stocked kitchen with pots/pans/utensils etc. We had an amazing time just relaxing on the enclosed porch and on the front porch.

Wonderful holiday rest
We stayed in the house for three nights over the Thanksgiving holiday with my three kids-teenagers and a dog. The place was located in a very peaceful and quite area which let us sleep with great comforts. It’s close enough to towns for grocery shopping and dining. Everything was perfect except the kitchen wares are a bit worn out and need replacement sooner or later. Otherwise, we all had wonderful time there and will visit again!!

The kitchen is well stocked and the screened-in dining and relaxing area is fantastic; we ate every meal in it. the outside porch is well equipped with chairs and our 10 month old granddaughter enjoyed playing outside.

Secluded and quiet yet convenient to everything
Lovely home with large spaces for family to gather. Owner responded quickly when informed that the smoke detectors needed attention, and that bathroom sink was clogged. Ten minutes from Coast Guard Beach and a quick run to both Hyannis and Provincetown. We had two rain days in our week, but the beautiful screened porch was a fun place to play games and listen to the drops drip.
