Why the Owner Chose East Sandwich
We chose this location because it's close to the Cape's Sagamore Bridge and the Cape Cod Canal which is great for fishing, riding bikes, jogging, walking! The Sandwich area is very historic and quaint. Lovely Rt.6A isn't crowded like so much of the Cape on the other side at Rt.28. There are many unique craft shops for miles along Rt.6A from our house. Our location is about one hour from our home which is great! It's also close to Logan Airport (about 1 and 1/2 hr away)
The Unique Benefits at this House
The private beach and private parking lot are quite unique for this entire area. Restaurants are very close to our house. The shopping, beach walks, going to lovely, historic Sandwich Center, the Cape Cod Canal area, riding on the Cape Cod Rail Trail train, and going on boat tours of the canal are always so exciting!!! There's always something new to discover in this beautiful area.
Our private beach is never crowded. Walk/jog along the beach to Scorton Creek where the ocean meets the creek. Continue along the path behind the beach along Scorton Creek. Beautiful! Great fishing, s
Walk along the beach from Point A to this Point B and then behind the dunes and beach. The path along the creek is great. Look up at the beautiful estates on the hill along the creek path. Continue al
At Sandwich Center, go to the Boardwalk for a lovely walk over the marsh to Town Beach. Watch kids jump off the Boardwalk at high tide. Very scenic. Do this before or after a lunch or dinner in town!

Many families from all over the country have sent their children to this excellent school. For the last 3 years, I have rented my home to wonderful families who have a son or daughter at this school since the location is perfect. It feels like home and is much better than staying at a hotel!
Owner's Map of East Sandwich
My husband, Dave, and I have both loved the ocean since we were kids. We had vacationed at Cape Cod for years with our family and dreamed about owning a house on the Rt.6A side of the Cape. That dream came true in April 1994 when we purchased our home in the private beach community of Scorton Shores! Once we glanced at our beach with the beautiful blue/green colors that we love, we knew that this was meant to be. Our next plan was to completely renovate and add on to our house which we did from late fall 2004 through June 2005. We, and our renters, couldn't be happier with the changes!! Our yard is beautifully landscaped and we love sitting in the sun/shady areas. We both love to walk from our house to the beach (6 minutes) and around to the Scorton Creek path and back to the house for our morning exercise. Dave is a runner and loves this run more than any other! You can walk the beach for miles!!! We also enjoy the privacy our beach has to offer. You need the beach pass to get onto the beach (copies in our house). Biking, fishing, shopping, exploring are what we love to do when we're at our house. Lots of bike trails not far away!! We have grown children and have 3 young grandchildren who absolutely love the house. People who have homes in Scorton Shores either live there year round or use their homes as their vacation home; not many rental properties here. Our neighbors are great! Peaceful, family area. We're not far from Hyannis where you can shop, eat, get the boats to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard. We're also not far from The National Seashore where you'll see wild surf and hugh sand cliffs! Great house for "girlfriend getaway weekends!" I've worked hard to make our home feel like "your home." It truly is our paradise!! Some of our renters have stayed at our house since 1994!!! They feel as though it's their own house and we hope you do, too!

We have rented this property for 2 years with 2 other parties. We have all enjoyed our time at this property. It is clean with all amenitites and reasonably priced. Everything is included except bed linens and towels. There are TVs in all the bedrooms and internet and telephone are included as well. The beach is very close as is shopping and restaurants. We plan to rent again this year and expect to enjoy it just as much as in the past.

My family of four (two adult children and parents) had a lovely time at this house. It is well-appointed, spacious, comfortable, neat, and immaculate. The owner responds to inquiries quickly and was very helpful. It's a wonderful location for the beach and for walking. All the communal living areas are quite large. We had a great time and can highly recommend it to anyone interested in a Cape Cod rental.

Our family spent a fun filled week in this well maintained, extremely well equipped and comfortable home this past July. Our grandchildren loved playing in the beautfiully landscaped yard and walking to the beach to build sandcastles. This home is located near wonderful restaurants, shops, golf courses and historical sites in Sandwich. I highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone seeking a perfect retreat on Cape Cod. We look forward to our next summer vacation in this home.

A little piece of heaven in East Sandwich. I visited with 3 of my quilting buds in April. The house has an awesome setup for quilting getaways. It is located near all the shops a quilter or crafter would need or want to visit. The home is very comfortable. Great walks to the beach and thru the dunes. Decor is right on the money for myself and friends. We will be visiting again very soon.

My friends and I spent a long weekend on the Cape at this beautiful home. We had a great time playing ping pong in the basement, making meals together in the spacious kitchen, grilling pineapples and making s'mores on the grill outside, and lounging at the private beach, which was a less than 10 minute walk away. Though there were only 1.5 indoor bathrooms (not including the outdoor shower, which a friend said was really relaxing), the house comfortably slept 8 people. The owner responded to emails quickly and was really great about making recommendations about where to eat and other things to do in the area; she even sent brochures about Martha's Vineyard when I inquired about making a day trip there. Overall, we all enjoyed our weekend escape from the city; I'd highly recommend booking this place!

Our family of four stayed here for five days in April 2011 and found the house to be perfect for our needs. The property fully meets the listing description, and the owner was responsive and easy to deal with. We would certainly consider renting it again when we return to the Cape.

Nice house

Review Submitted: 09/15/10
The home was nice and it was clean when we arrived. The owner was very detail-oriented and provided accurate information. There were a few small inconveniences - we had to provide our own linens, towels, toilet paper, etc - but we knew this upfront. The kitchen was updated, spacious, and well-equipped. The house is about a five minute walk from the beach.
Owner response:There's always a roll of toilet paper, hand soap, dish detergent, cleaners, and a roll of paper towels for guests. My conversations with my renters always stress that they need to bring their own linens, towels, food, paper products, etc. This is also written in my packet of information sent to each renter. It's listed in "what to bring." I also include a document called, "house inventory list." If the renter is from out of state or the country, we then discuss my providing sheets and towels if they aren't able to bring them.

This home is ideal for our family of 5 travelers, including a young teen. With two bedrooms (with multiple beds) on one side of the home, and a large master on the opposite side of the home, the set-up is ideal. The house is always spotless, and feels spacious, relaxing, and peaceful. The finished basement is such a bonus if you are traveling with children. The neighborhood setting is private and quiet, yet very convenient to beach activities, excellent restaurants, and the quaint shops of Sandwich. The owner is accommodating, helpful, and an excellent communicator. I can’t imagine a better place to stay on Cape Cod. We are former residents of this beautiful town, and this property is ideal for our return visits to see friends and family. My family and I highly recommend this lovely home that is tastefully decorated and smartly laid out. We can’t wait for our return visit later this summer!

We have stayed at this home several times and love coming back. It is very clean and comfortable. There is plenty of room and the photos represent the house very nicely. The ping pong table and outside shower are family favorites, not to mention the short walk to the beach. The yard is great for those warm weather meals. The owner is very accommodating and defiantly wants your time there to be perfect.

We 65+ers found all the comforts of home here--plenty of space, exactly as advertised, beautiful back yard with a variety of critters running through, handy to shopping, restaurants, points of interest, historical sites--at least everything in which we were interested. The hostess was blessedly flexible and fair, even leaving recipes when we inquired regarding local cuisine. She left plenty of material on points of interest and suggestions for sight-seeing and excursion opportunities. We particularly relished the drive to the very tip of Cape Cod where we investigated the various lighthouses, as well as a whale-watching excursion and a trip to the Sandwich Glass Museum. We would recommend this beautiful, clean, well-maintained, commodious property to anyone looking for a home away from home.
