KICK OFF YOUR SHOES AND RELAX-THIS IS THE PLACE! As urban creative types with hectic schedules, we escape whenever we can to "Castaway," our cozy knotty-pine cottage on Ministers Pond. We are the end unit (#1), so there's even more outdoor space and privacy.
The photograph says it all. In this corner of old-fashioned Cape Cod heaven, you can unwind in a beautiful pond setting with maximum simplicity. Nothing beats the view of this freshwater pond and a few steps bring you to a private beach where you can swim, sunbathe on the floating dock, or take one of the free rowboats for your own private cruise or fishing.
Location! Location! Location! We are just 1/4 mile from the National Seashore Visitor Center at Salt Pond with its spectacular walking trails, dunes, and oceanfront beaches. Rent a bicycle and take a spin on the Cape's famous Rail Trail or Seashore Trail. Sightseeing, birdwatching, canoeing/kayaking, beachcombing, off-beat and fun shopping, miniature golf, drive-in movies, antiquing, great seafood and local cuisine: it's all here.
"Castaway" is the farthest unit from the entrance to the small, 9-cottage, colony of Nauset Haven. The grounds are nicely landscaped and there is generous space between our cottage and its neighbor. Next to the cottage is an outdoor patio with a picnic table and hammock overlooking the pond.
The cottage sleeps up to 4 adults. The bedroom is furnished with a double bed, dresser and closet, and the living room has a convertible full-size futon sofa that sleeps two.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a four-burner gas stove, frig, microwave, toaster-oven, coffeemaker, blender, cookware, dishware and utensils. The bathroom has a sink, shower, toilet. There is air-conditioning for hot days and a wood-burning fireplace and space heater for cool evenings. An outdoor charcoal grill, plus a small bistro table with chairs makes casual dining festive and fun.
Just bring sheets and towels, and get ready to relax and enjoy the best of Cape Cod! |
