Our family of 6 stayed at ECH and we had a great time. We biked the canal, kayaked a nearby river-marsh which was great fun. The high school has 6 great tennis courts and a first class track. Our family used all the nearby facilities. 6a which is the main route near the house is no where near as busy as 6 on the rest of the cape. There are many really interesting restaurants and breakfast nooks nearby. Our favorite breakfast was at Marshlands an old school counter style breakfast with hardy portions.
We discovered edge pizza which is our favorite pizza - must be tried to understand.
The house is clean and well laid out. Lots of light and interesting. As other reviewers have noted the interior decor is eclectic and world wide. Great AC if outside gets really hot. Great kitchen support for meals. We played croquet and supplied board games which were great fun (clue. Backgammon). The pool area is top notch, however dusk brings mosquitos. We had a wonderful bbq and dinner but you have to plan an early seating. The pool is heated, however the temp setting was brisk for our family. The beach is a very short walk over the dune. The beach provides for very long walks left or right, and is private. It is pebbly. We used water shoes. The house landscaping and outside appeal is top notch, with a great driveway organization should kids or friends visit.
