'Rest & Be Thankful' in this idyllic marshside cottage
Eastham Vacation Rental - ID 29786

We loved staying in your home in September. It was just off season. Weather was fantastic, crowds were gone, everything was still open. Close to both the bay and ocean side beaches. Close to grocery shopping, restaurants, bike trail.

Home is spacious, well kept, clean, comfortable and in a fantastic location. Everything you could need is provided, all we had to bring was sheets, towels and our clothes - and bring your bikes! The fire pit and outdoor shower were thoroughly enjoyed. Can't wait to come back here again! show more show less

This was an absolutely perfect vacation home for our family of four (two kids) plus Grandma. The space fit us perfectly, a cute kids' room with toys and books, a relaxing upstairs bedroom for me and my husband, and a downstairs room for Grandma with her own bathroom and walk-in shower!

As a family with young kids, we loved the quiet dead-end street for solo kid biking around; the loads of games, puzzles, books, outdoor and beach toys for us to use (my son wants me to give a shout-out to the mini football we found); the close proximity to two gorgeous and quiet bay beaches; the secret path to the rail trail so we didn't have to take our kids on busy Bridge Road; the always-changing marsh views (we loved the osprey nest!); the loads of space for us to spread out (we live in very small space in real life); the firepit for s'mores at night; and the well-appointed kitchen for leisurely meals (we even made waffles!).

Jo was so kind via email and recommended the perfect place for me and my husband to actually have a date night close by and with outdoor seating and it was amazing.

We are so grateful to have found this lovely home and can't wait to come back. A huge thank you to Jo and Andy for literally thinking of everything!! show more show less

Our family decided on a short get away for Thanksgiving week, and this was the perfect place for it. It is truly the only vacation rental I've ever stayed in that truly felt like home. All the amenities I could hope for and more - kitchen supplies, full bookcases and game shelves with something for every family member. In addition the beautiful views and great location made it a great spot to explore and enjoy the Cape. It truly was a wonderful place to "Rest and Be Thankful"!

We had such a wonderful time in this comfortable, clean and airy home! Our family enjoyed the beauty of the marsh views, as well as a few evenings chatting while making s'mores in the fire pit. Beaches are close by, and we enjoyed our favorite local haunts, such as the Hot Chocolate Sparrow, Hole in One, Mahoney's and Karoo. The house has plenty of games, DVDs, an air hockey table and plenty of other activities for rainy days!

Jo was very helpful and responded quickly to our questions. We so loved the tranquility of this special place, hope to visit again! show more show less

This house is the perfect place to go and relax and let all your worries drift away. We had a great time this home had plenty to offer for all ages. Super comfortable sitting on the deck in the morning having coffee. Great location to near by beaches and ponds very quiet neighborhood the week we were there the weather was beautiful . The owners were a pleasure to deal with can't wait till next year thank you very much from the English & Price Families.

Thank you, Jo, for sharing your "idyllic Marsh-side cottage" with our family. We did not want to leave and can't wait to rent again!! It was very obvious that you put a lot of thought into everything. Your home was so comfortable and CLEAN. We loved the open layout with plenty of space and beautiful decor; including the prints/paintings, and comfortable furniture. The sun-room is spectacular! The kitchen has everything! Beds are so comfortable! Every morning we woke up to various wildlife; herons, cranes, piping plover and even a bald eagle!! So peaceful and quiet, yet close to all the main attractions. Absolutely hands down the BEST place we've ever rented. It was just what our family needed! Thank you for being so responsive, helpful and for making a wonderful vacation affordable!! show more show less

We stayed at this beautiful Cape house for our annual 4th of July week vacation. Wonderful inside and out, the owners have taken great care in making this home the perfect place to stay for a week on the Lower Cape! Very clean and bright and comfy! My favorite, of course, was the sunroom, perfect for reading and watching TV. Also enjoyed the breeze off the marsh and the view was amazing!! Great location close to shopping, restaurants and beaches!! You can't go wrong!!

This is not just a vacation rental, this is a real home away from home and we loved our stay here. The location is great, in a quiet neighborhood but minutes from the bike path and the shops and restaurants of Orleans. It's an excellent base for exploring the towns and beaches of the Cape. The house itself is spacious, beautifully renovated, sparkling clean and clearly cared for. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. The BBQ and outdoor shower were great, and the supply of books, games, beach inflatables and body boards were put to good use. Jo was great to communicate with, always quick to respond and very helpful with local information. If you are looking for a great holiday home on the Cape, this is it! show more show less

In over twenty years of vacationing in Eastham and attempting to find the perfect vacation rental for our family of five, Jo and Andy’s home has attained this status with the rating of “the best home ever”. This convenient yet private location (just around the Orleans rotary), multiple, comfortable living spaces (my personal favorite, the fantastic sunroom), well- appointed bedrooms (outfitted with high end mattresses, pads and coverlets), private backyard bordered by the marsh (beautiful vistas supplementing hours of corn hole competition), extraordinarily well-stocked home (three types of coffee makers, plates and service-ware to feed an army, and ample supply of beach gear to name just three of countless examples), offering QUIET SOLITUDE presented the perfect vacation rental for us.

No detail had been overlooked as evidenced by the thoughtfully compiled local area information (new discoveries for our seasoned family) and background history and renovation of this Cape Cod vacation home.

The owners provided us with a true “home away from home” and we are quite appreciative of their gracious and accommodating spirit. We hope and plan to return annually for the foreseeable future as we don’t need to look anywhere else for “the perfect vacation rental”!
