Why the Owner Chose Eastham
Eastham is beautiful, quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by water. We are the 2nd owners of this wonderful property. We literally bought it from a retiring local school teacher. No kidding. Of course, the Cape gives you access to bay beaches and ocean beaches. But Eastham has the entrance to the National Seashore! Eastham is also an easy point for day trips up or down the Cape to explore different cities.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our house is quiet, private, and in the woods. The road out front is barely traveled. After a long day at the beach it is a respite to return to. Laying in bed at night with all the windows open and listening to the sound of the leaves gently rustle can make you feel a million miles away from real life. Here we really relax and recharge our souls.
The place for sunsets! Bay side beaches are calm and warmer. Great place to swim and play in the water, especially for younger children. This is about a 10 minute car ride from the house.
Our favorite Ocean side beach! BIG waves, wide beach, showers, bathrooms, body surfing, beach walking, seals that watch your every move. This is about a 10 to 15 minute drive depending on 6 traffic.
The Stop & Shop, Windmill Liquor, and Nauset Fish. Everything you need about 2 miles from the house.
Yummy! Family friendly. This is always our first night on the Cape dinner spot.
The best clam strips on the cape! Don't let the line fool you it goes really fast. You order at the counter (alcohol is after that down the counter) and they call you when your food is ready. Don't
You really can't go wrong with anything on this menu. The pizza is wonderful and the salads are fresh and different. Dine in or carry out.
OK, I know everyone loves Dunkin Donuts. But Hole in One is a local donut shak and really worth a try! I think they are better but you be the judge.
The Cape Escape Miniture Golf complex. Great course. 2 miles from the house.
Owner's Map of Eastham
We purchased this home in January of 2006. Less than 6 months after making the decision that this is where we plan to retire. We are from Oklahoma and Detroit currently living just outside of Cincinnati - It sounds a little crazy unless you've been to the Cape and Eastham in particuliar.

Janet included this note when she mailed the keys back to me. "Hello Jennifer - We had a fabulous week on the cape and very much enjoyed the pleasures of your welcoming Cape home. Half the week our older daughter and son-in-law joined us and greatly appreciated the space, the yard, the deck, the toys, and the childproof nature of the house for their not quite 18-mos-old. Later in the week we had a dinner party with 2 other couples who've been staying at a nearby inn each summer for years & after an evening at the rental house really thought a house like yours is the way to go. (we thought so too!) Best regards, Janet"

Linda included this note when she returned the keys to me. "Jennifer, . . We had a great time and were sad to come home. We loved your place. The weather was exciting about the 5th of July and waves ere as high as our 12 year old. On July 6, a storm came thru and they asked everyone to get off the beach but before they a man said it was the best surfing he had ever seen. We went whale watching off of Gloucester and saw 8 humpback, 2 finback & a baskin shark. All in all, a pretty good vacation. Thanks again for all your help. Linda"
