Spend a quiet Cape Cod getaway at this North Eastham cottage. Situated in a peaceful neighborhood within easy reach of ocean and bayside beaches, you'll be able to leave the car parked and immerse yourself in seaside serenity while discovering the cape by foot or bicycle. For days at home, fire up the gas grill and enjoy a coastal cookout with friends and family, complete with yard games and deck lounging. Dine on the breezy screened porch and gather around the wood-burning firepit on the patio for evening conversation and S'mores.
This three-bedroom cottage comes well-appointed with all the comforts of home. Enjoy casual downtime and family movie nights in the living room, furnished with comfortable seating, a flatscreen TV, and fireplace for cozy get-togethers. The full kitchen comes ready for home-cooking with a full suite of major appliances, plenty of counter space, and utensils. Indoor dining options include a breakfast bar for two and dining area set for six.
Two bedrooms and a shared, full bathroom are located on the first floor. The primary bedroom occupies the second floor and includes an en suite bathroom.

Great location and property
This was our first trip to Cape Cod and found Eastham to be a perfect location. We were close to the National Seashore beaches and plenty of good restaurants. The house was great for a family of four with two teenagers that each had their own room. The screened in porch was lovely for drinking coffee and enjoying the morning. The house has partial AC with units in the bedroom so it was comfortable for sleeping. The main living space did get warm on the days where the temperatures were in the upper 80s.
