Description

Description

The Beach House - Walk to First Encounter Beach from this beautifully renovated cottage with total privacy for a couple enjoying a getaway (master bedroom with king bed is superb) or even with one extra person enjoying the first floor den with a pull-out twin.

This darling ''hunter's lodge'' with pine ceilings and floors has been renovated and beautifully furnished. You'll arrive to beds made up with clean linens and fluffy towels hanging in the bathroom for your use. There are beach towels, as well.

The open floor plan with living room, kitchen and working island make meal time a fun experience. The white slipcovered couch and gray coral patterned recliner are waiting for you to relax and enjoy! Dine inside at the unique table with 4 chairs or outside on the slate patio with table, chairs and umbrella.

The den has a comfortable navy blue couch that pulls out into a single bed. First floor bathroom with walk-in shower is also here. But, you'll love the outdoor shower, just a few steps from the back door!

Upstairs is an amazing kingsize bedroom suite and walk-in closet. It's the envy of everyone who stays here. Additionally, there is a comfortable chaise lounge for relaxed reading time.

Outside you will love the oversized slate patio with an octagon glass table, umbrella and 4 swivel chairs. There's even an outdoor fireplace to take the chill off the evening if you want to linger in the Adirondack chairs.

Through the Bilco door to the basement, you'll find a brand new Maytag washer and dryer for your laundry needs while staying at the house.

Host is available if needed but offers total privacy to guests. There is a coded lockbox with a key to the house inside.

There are three beach chairs, a cooler and beach towels for your use while at the house. The chairs are stored in the new shed (key is in the lockbox by the front door). You can store your bikes here as well.

    Wonderful stay!

    This cottage is perfectly situated on a quiet tree lined street with lots of privacy and comfort. The cottage has all the basics that you need and a few unexpected luxuries like a king-sized bed and well-provisioned kitchen. The host is very attentive and responsive to questions and we felt very welcome. We hope to stay again next year.

    This is a great spot - the cottage is equipped with everything you might need for a holiday. The kitchen is spacious and loaded with nice cooking tools. The sleeping layout is really nice, with the upper bedroom being spacious enough to be a nice place for everybody to hang out too. Best of all, though, is the location; a really nice wooded neighborhood with ways to travel north and south without having to go up and down on the highway.

    Liz's house is in a great location - you can easily head to Wellfleet and Ptown for the day or spend all of your time at First Encounter Beach - which is magical and ever changing depending on the tide - sunsets there are a must! We loved the outdoor shower and private patio. Great choice and we hope to return.

    My first visit to Cape Cod was as a middle school student. When I stood on the ocean side beach, I said to myself, ''Someday, I'm going to live here!!'' And, in my early 30's, I moved to Eastham with my husband and five children.

    We owned and managed a cottage business for five years. In 1984, we sold that property and built various houses in Eastham. I started college, at the local Community College, and upon graduation, commuted off Cape to obtain a Bachelor's degree.

    I became a ''vacation rental owner'' 24 years ago when I purchased the house on Clayton Road. At first, I lived in the house and rented my primary residence but eventually decided to rent this house only.

    Guests have been fabulous. They appreciate the unique location with privacy and easy walk to First Encounter Beach.











    What is special about this property?
    Location, location, location! Eastham was the only Cape town to have TWO beaches listed in the top 20 beaches on Cape Cod - First Encounter Beach on the bayside and Coast Guard Beach on the oceanside. They are less than a mile and 2 miles from the house. It's an easy walk from the house to the former and it is also possible to bike to the ocean beach, as well.

    Furnished with an extremely comfortable bed in a huge master bedroom, the house and quiet area guarantee a good night's sleep. And ALL LINENS ARE SUPPLIED, including bath and beach towels.





    What is special about your town?
    Eastham is the best kept secret of Cape Cod. Still unspoiled with development, it is 3 miles wide from bayside to oceanside and there are ponds dotting the land in between. The bike path runs right through the middle so you're never far from enjoying a nice walk or bike ride (there are bikes and helmets for you to use at the house).

    Monday nights, at Windmill Green, you can enjoy a free concert with great local talents. Should you have a rainy day (hope not) the NEW state of the art library is amazing. Stop for a visit - even if the sun is shining.

    The National Seashore Visitor's Center is in Eastham!!! There are several attractions there, one not to miss is how the Cape was formed. A definite must from there is the walk out to Coast Guard Beach. A lovely paved path makes this an enjoyable stoll or bike ride even.

    Fort Hill has two natural wonders; the outer most portion has benches to enjoy the ocean or the superb walk through the marsh with a boardwalk (spring of 2017 renovation). Lots of natural wildlife and quietness.

    Eastham has the oldest windmill on Cape Cod! If you can return the first weekend after Labor Day, you can celebrate the annual Eastham Windmill Weekend event. All free! includes a Friday night talent show, Saturday sandart at First Encounter Beach, Windmill Green performances and a food truck with a beer garden on Saturday night. The theme changes each year and the parade on Sunday, reflects the theme.
