Vacation Rentals by Owner

Relaxing vacation

Date of Stay: 09/02/11 Review Submitted: 09/02/11

We found this home to be the perfect size for our family. We were retracing our vacations of yesteryear with our young adult children. The three bedrooms and loft allowed plenty of space to spread out with our 17, 20 and 23 year old children. The weather was beautiful and we spent plenty of time on the bay beaches swimming and skim boarding. We also enjoyed the house being close to the bike trail. We enjoyed a day in Provincetown shopping and dining. Enjoyed ice cream from Lewis's, Ben & Jerry's and Emack and Bolios. Emack and Bolios was our favorite for quality and generosity of the serving. Our favorite meal was Moby Dick's on Route 6....we love the BYOB option and the food is great. Only drawback was the rust in the water, but thats the Cape. We would consider this home when we return to the Cape.

Perfect! (Just wish there was some AC)

This house was by far the nicest house we have rented on the cape the past few years. Eastham is a great town that is close to everything (beautiful beaches, Cape Cod Baseball, plenty of local restaurants and of course ice cream!) The house itself was clean and well maintained. It was nice to not have to worry about bringing beach chairs and toys for our 2 year old niece/granddaughter. First Encounter Beach and Wiley Park were greats for her. She also loved going on bike rides on the CCRT (located close to the house). The owners answered all of our questions in a timely fashion. The only bad thing we can say about the house is that we wish there was some AC, although there was only one night we wished we had it. We are actually planning our trip next year to the house!!

We have been to Cape Cod for 25 summers. This house was all it was advertised to be. Fully stocked kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and a FABULOUS deck. Such a great place!

Our Rainy Cape Cod Vacation

Guest: Jim (North Attleboro, MA)
Date of Stay: 08/21/10 Review Submitted: 08/31/10

Despite 4 days of rain, we had a fantastic time during our vacation, and much of that was due to the comfort and location of the house. It was nicely decorated, well furnished, and very clean! At the end of the day, it was very relaxing to come home to. The owners answered every question we had very quickly and provided lots of suggested activities and places to visit, which was especially useful during the rainy days. We really enjoyed eating at Arnold's (awesome fried clams!), Russ & Marie's Marconi Beach restaurant (BBQ ribs and chicken!!!), and the Hot Chocolate Sparrow. The only downside was the amount of iron in the water which made it smell and taste funny, but that's Cape Cod -- there's only so much the well's filter can do. We would definitely ask to rent this property again and will be looking for it again here on VRBO! =)

Cape House

The house was clean, comfortable, and close to the bike trail. Loved the outside shower and the beach chairs and boogie boards were nice to have to use. Plenty of room for 6 - 8 people to live comfortably for a week.

This is a terrific house with all the amenities. It was a short drive to all points of interest being in the middle of the island. Very private backyard with porch, 3 bedrooms, 1 and a half baths, tv, vcr, video games, beach chairs, umbrella, toys for kids. It was perfect.

Salt Box at Eastham, MA Cape Cod

Date of Stay: 07/17/10 Review Submitted: 07/27/10

We found this home to be quite comfortable and very homey. In fact, we called it "home" while we were there. The pictures on line are just what it looks like. The home was clean and well stocked with all you need. The owner of the home was quite nice and easy to talk to. All questions were answered and they were very accomodating by emails and phone. We would highly recommend this home to stay in on vacation, and we hope to be able to return to this home again some day soon. We loved the Atlantic side for boogie boarding (Marconi) and hiking to Jeremy Point was a highlight for us. We loved Arnold's for seafood and ice cream. Must get donuts at Hole In One, and hot chocolate at the Chocolate Sparrow. Pizza at the Red Barn is a must, did that twice, and played putt putt there. Whale watching in Provincetown was great and shopping there is too. We liked Wellfleet and Chatham as well. We covered a lot of the Cape in a weeks time, wish we could have stayed another week.

This was a great rental for our 2 families. (7 people) There was plenty of room to escape each other. There is a great deck and outside shower. Kitchen was great for cooking. Lots of items for the beach. Location was awesome. We explored many of towns and beaches. First Encounter Beach is a must, sunset and low tide. Hole in One donuts were a favorite. The Owners were very helpful.

The house was well equipped and in a perfect location. Set on a private road yet still close to Rt 6 making commuting easy. The ocean was minutes by car and the rail trail was within walking distance. The wooded backyard provided us with our own personal viewing of deer in the morning. The house was perfect for our family, we couldn't of been happier.

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"

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"

Andy & Becky left this comment in our guestbook. "We biked, played golf, walked on the beaches, swam a little, and dined out. We have always loved the bike path, and covered the entire thing during our trip. Getting back to familiar places makes the cape feel like a second home. Spotting seals swimming along the beach is always special. We loved the house. It is comfortable very well appointed, and a great place to come back to after an active day."

Thanks for visiting our site. We hope you'll plan on renting. We purchased this home in January of 2006. It is our plan to move to the cape when we retire. We have vacationed here repeatedly. If you've never been to the Cape - we hope you fall in love with it like we have. If you've visited many times - we know how you feel. There is a real feeling of home here. We are the 2nd owners of this wonderful property. We literally bought it from a retiring local school teacher. No kidding. We are very excited to spend our summers here and welcome you to our new home. Please let us know what would help make your stay more comfortable.
