Relaxing Off Season Spring Break
Our stay was relaxing and exactly what we were looking for. Our family is myself and husband and two kids ages 13 & 16. We knew coming to Cape Cod the end of March the weather would be cooler and stores might but all be open. We arrived Monday evening and ordered take out which was super fast delivery from Papa Gino's. Since it was overcast and rainy we played some of the games available in the home and watched movies. Even being off season we found the was plenty open for our needs. A grocery right down the street and several good looking restaurants. We were a short drive to either end of the Cape making Eastham the perfect home base for us to travel in the day. We took a day trip to Boston and one to Provincetown. The home was very very clean and had the perfect amount of starter essentials for our short stay of 3 nights. My son forgot his toothbrush and it was nice that there was one there for him. The price was great for an off season stay and the neighborhood was quiet and comforting. We felt very safe.

Great Weekend - Thank You!
We had a great time at this beautiful house near the Salt Pond. I come to the Cape regularly for work and my wife and I stay in lots of different rental properties, and this was one of the best. Tara was a fantastic host who was regularly in contact with us, and she made the check-in very easy. And the personal touches that she had waiting for us were just so appreciated!
I really have to mention how spotless the place was when we arrived, too. We've learned not to take that for granted - thank you! And we were also pleased and delighted to discover that there were even some supplies in the kitchen - spice rack, coffee, even cold filtered water waiting in the refrigerator - all of which are signs that this host is so professional and goes the extra mile to make sure we're comfortable.
Thanks for a great weekend. We'll be back.

Private outer cape oasis
What a lovely fall retreat spot! We found the location so convenient to lots of mid-Cape and outer-Cape destinations and appreciated that the property was very private--there were some neighbors still in residence so it didn't feel isolated. On arrival, we found the house to be well-cleaned and the homemade cookies from Tara were a nice touch. Beds were incredibly comfortable and the water pressure was excellent. WiFi seemed reliable and the Roku TV was easy to navigate. Everything was very pet-friendly! The short walk to the neighborhood water access at the marsh was lovely this time of year-- definitely pack shoes you don't mind getting wet for exploring the shoreline. Don't miss the Fort Hill trails and overlook. We loved the house and look forward to visiting again!

Beautiful house in perfect location!
Our family booked a spontaneous weekend in April, and we will sure be back! This beautiful spacious house was spotless when we arrived, and the arrival treats for our 2 legged and 4 legged boys was a thoughtful touch! Our family used the bikes and kayaks that were available, explored the coves and beaches with our dogs. It was the perfect place for our getaway!

Cape Escape
Wonderful time at this home. Perfect escape especially for off season. House was immaculate. Master bed was very comfortable. Couches and living room were great! Very clean. Had essential like paper towels to get us started which was more than enough for our stay. Very quiet location. And we appreciated being able to bring our dog.
