About this property
Private setting near beaches-fully air conditioned, game room, fire pit
Everything the Outer Cape has to offer is just minutes away—ocean and bay beaches, great restaurants, bike trails, shopping, mini golf, and more.
This bright, open, and impeccably maintained four-bedroom home sits on a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Eastham’s most desirable neighborhoods. A long driveway leads to a private, one-acre lot surrounded by woods, offering both space and seclusion.
The open floor plan features a living room with a vaulted ceiling, a gas fireplace (available during cooler months), and new leather sofas, perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. The dining area seats eight, and the spacious kitchen includes a breakfast bar with additional seating, granite countertops, and new stainless steel appliances. Fully equipped with everything you need to create simple or gourmet meals, the kitchen also offers ample cabinet space for your stay.
Step outside to unwind on the deck overlooking the fenced backyard, or fire up the Weber grill for an evening cookout. The expansive new patio is ideal for gathering, with a fire pit surrounded by six Adirondack chairs, a table with umbrella, 2 children's swings and a corn hole game for added fun.
After a beach day, rinse off in the oversized private outdoor shower with hot and cold water, or take a bike ride through the peaceful neighborhood to connect to the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Bay, ocean, and freshwater lake beaches are all just a short drive-or bike ride-away. Challenge your guests or children to a game of pingpong or any number of board games provided in the lower level family room. Also available are toys, a 65 inch flat-screen TV with surround sound, and plenty of storage for bikes and other belongings in a separate room. A large sliding glass door allows for plenty of natural light and easy access to/from the back yard. Kids love this space!
The primary bedroom includes a sitting area, Smart TV, and a Hollywood bath. The additional bedrooms are generously sized with plenty of storage. The home also offers high-speed Wi-Fi, a Bluetooth Bose soundbar, and surround sound connected to a 65-inch Smart TV.

This VRBO home is fabulous! Incredibly well-provisioned. Simply yet attractively decorated. Common area and bedrooms are comfortable and well-proportioned easily accommodating a small or larger group. The front flower garden is a lovely feature. Good Eastham location within easy drives to Orleans, Wellfleet, ocean- and bayside-beaches. The hosts were gracious, pleasant, and responsive. Definitely hope to stay here again for a future Cape Cod vacation.

Elizabeth, thank you so much for this lovely review! We would absolutely love to see you return.
We had a lovely stay over Thanksgiving! The hosts were very responsive for check-in and check-out. The rooms were large, clean, and well-maintained. Outside deck, backyard, and large firepit were appreciated as well. The location of the house was perfect with easy access to beaches, hiking, and the town of Orleans.

Thank you for this fabulous review. You were perfect guests and we welcome you back any time!
We had a great stay at Carol’s place! Place itself was decorated lovely, super clean, and a perfect set-up for our two families of 4 with boys ages 4-8. Location was also great - easy access to so many great beaches and our favorite restaurants, as well as walkable to the rail trail. We would definitely stay again!

My family and I had a wonderful stay. The home is beautiful, clean and in a quiet location. We enjoyed the close proximity to multiple beaches, the bike path and restaurants. The bedrooms, game room and yard are spacious and comfortable. Check in and check out were seamless. We loved our stay!

We appreciate your kind words, and are happy you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again!
There were 7 of us staying here for a week, my parents, my husband and I and our three children. There was ample room in the house for everyone and we all had a very nice time. The children particularly enjoyed the basement game room and the outdoor swing. The firepit was a bonus. We are bikers and the proximity to the bike trail was a definite plus. The home was wonderful, well equipped ad very clean. It is definitely a place we would consider again

Thank you Chris for this great review! it was a pleasure hosting you.
Location, property, communication, and house itself all exceeded expectations. Our group had a great time - took advantage of the backyard, the deck area, the game room, all of it - not to mention being so close to the beach! Would absolutely stay here again (and hope to do so in the future!)

Thank you so much! We look forward to your return.
Everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. Carol was kind enough to let us know we could check in a bit earlier than expected, and was quick to respond to any questions we had along the way. The home was clean & spacious for our family's needs & our granddaughters loved the game room & fire pit, which we used often. We were also pleased with the ample supply of wood for the fire pit. Additionally, we enjoyed the privacy of the property & the quiet street, which we used for walks & wagon rides with our grandchildren. Overall, I would highly recommend this rental property.

Thank you for your kind words. You were wonderful guests and hope to see you return!
Lovely house with big bedrooms, meticulously clean, great outdoor shower and everything you need (no need to go buy a can opener)! On a quiet residential street on the border of Orleans and Eastham. Perfect spot for young kids as it’s set back from the road in a quiet neighborhood with fenced yard. Wonderful stay and the owners couldn’t be kinder!

My family had a very relaxing stay at this property. They had all the supplies we need it for an enjoyable cape experience. The property was cleaned and clearly well maintained. Plenty of activities for kids of all ages, great grill and nice fire pit. Planning to return next summer

Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Jay. We were happy to host you and are thrilled you can vacation again next summer at Cape Expectations.
The house is beautiful and exactly as pictured. It is very modern, clean and well-stocked. The property is private and beautifully landscaped. The back yard was our favorite place to hang out. We couldn’t get enough of the firepit, playing cornhole and making smores. We loved our stay and would come back again. The owners were very responsive and helpful. We highly recommend this home.
We loved this house! It feels newly renovated and immaculately clean. The high ceilings in the living room make it lovely to spend time there. The ping pong table and the outdoor fire pit are fun! Eastham is a great Cape location, with lovely beaches and close to lots of great stuff. This house is perfectly located to take advantage of the towns of Orleans and Chatham too. A perfect Cape vacation!

Thank you so much for your kind review and we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay. You were wonderful guests.
This property was exactly as described, and has everything you need for a "home" experience. Carol was so helpful when needed, and the check in and check out was very convenient. The location was much better than I had anticipated ~ I had thought it might be hard to get to places all over the cape, but this location made it quite easy. There was a grocery store very close too. It really was perfect for two families to use, and we all loved the ping pong table!

Thank you, Todd for this great review! We're so pleased that you and your family loved your stay in our home. I'll be sure to let my husband know that you appreciated his fast response. Hope to see you again. Carol
We had a great time at this property! The location was wonderful- it was close to beautiful beaches on both the warmer bay side and cooler ocean side of the Cape, and conveniently close to restaurants and stores in town.
The house itself surpassed our expectations. It was well-decorated, and the amenities and household items were wonderful! We had absolutely everything we needed, and we could tell a lot of thought had gone into making things convenient and easy for guests. The outdoor areas were also great, especially the fire pit and the swing under the deck for little kids. Landscaping was beautiful, and it was so peaceful to enjoy morning coffee on the rocking chair on the porch. The basement is also comfortable and provided a good recreation option for people who wanted to stay up late without disturbing others. Excellent spot to stay with a family of mixed ages, from kids to grandparents.
Carol was super helpful and responsive, and checkin/checkout was easy.

Great Location - Beautiful Updated Well Equipped Home - We will RETURN!
What can I say, this home (Cape Expectations) Exceeded our Cape Expectations! Working with Carol was effortless. From the moment we traveled the long PRIVATE driveway, we knew we made the right choice.
The house appears large in the photos but, in real like... even larger.
All rooms are large and comfortable. The furniture was like new (probably was) and comfortable beds. CLEAN CLEAN!
Large very private deck. We loved the extra room in the Sunny walk out basement. It's a great room with TV, sofas and ping pong. We spent many of our evenings in this room with family playing games/ping pong.
Sunrises on Coast Guard Beach and Sunsets on First Encounter Beach. A great place for family or just recharging your batteries. Thank you Carol. We will be back!
My family planned a last-minute long weekend away to Cape Cod. We were so fortunate to have found this amazing property - Cape Expectations. Our experience was pleasurable from the moment we arrived until sadly, we had to depart. We took advantage of all that this location and house had to offer.
We were a group of 7 of all different ages (2 seniors, my husband and I along with our children ages 10, 5 and 1 year's old). The layout was perfect for our group with 2 bedrooms and a bath upstairs and 2 bedrooms and a bath on the main level. In addition, the house has 2 living areas with family sized TV's. During the day, we biked or beached and in the evening, it was ping pong or corn hole tournaments followed by Smores by the firepit.
We enjoyed lunch at local restaurants and cooked dinner at the property. This kitchen is a chef's dream - Clean, well-equipped and open to the living area allowing me, the cook, the ability to enjoy the family while preparing dinner.
Carol, the owner was wonderful to communicate with. I have already shared this property with a good friend as this house is truly a find. Thank you Carol!
We had a perfect stay at this beautiful, well- equipped home, and we can’t say enough good things about both the property and the owners’ responsiveness and attention to every possible detail. The home and gardens are truly lovely and have a fresh and clean feel (feels like a very recent renovation). The huge comfortable king beds, spacious and light filled rooms, comfy twin beds for the kids, easily accessible first floor laundry (essential with a 3 year old and a baby!), fully equipped kitchen, wood burning fire pit which we used for s’mores night, cornhole game, swings for the kids, Legos and many other toys in the basement…incredible!! And if you don’t have kids, the house is still perfect : many huge flat screen tvs and a gorgeous finished basement as well as big family room allow for movie nights and just chilling.
We have been renting in Eastham for many years, and this home far exceeded our expectations and prior rentals. And I must mention the LOCATION, which is prime, while still being in a very pretty, quiet area with no Route 6 noise. All the best beaches, tons of restaurants, and Stop and Shop are within a few miles or less. We rented bikes and were able to access the fantastic Cape Cod trails just a block away. (Bike to Hog Island Brewery for a fun lunch with outdoor or indoor seating. Get a dozen oysters while there from the Holbrook Oyster stand. The owner is 6th generation Wellfleet!) Bottom line: we loved this spacious and peaceful home!
My family had a very enjoyable stay in this very comfortable, beautifully decorated home, which was spotless and spacious. Checking in and out was seamless. The pictures are accurate. The kitchen has everything you might need. The basement is a large additional living space. The location is private and very convenient. Beaches are… everywhere! Beautiful even in November. In addition to the bike trail, try the Fort Hill Trail. It is a mile walking loop along Nauset Marsh. We enjoyed pizza from The Red Barn and goodies from Cottage Street Bakery. Next time my family plans to enjoy Thanksgiving on the Cape, I will definitely hope to rent this house.

About the host
Hosted by Carol and Charlie Sardonini
Charlie and I love the Outer Cape for its overall natural beauty, numerous bay and ocean beaches, bike trails, nature walks, sunrises, sunsets. We enjoy making our home a wonderful place for vacationers to spend their holidays. For that reason, we do not use a commercial rental agency to handle our cleaning and yard upkeep. Instead, we either clean the house ourselves or hire a person who can devote the time needed to properly prepare the entire home and yard. Knowing that lasting memories are created in our home gives us a great sense of satisfaction and pride.
Why they chose this property
We chose this house in Eastham because of its peaceful, private location. When we are sitting on the deck, we enjoy looking over the one-acre property and into the woods beside the house. You'd never know you were in a tourist location! We also love the open floor plan with plenty of living space and large bedrooms. The house is a perfect retreat for 2 families as each floor has 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom. The bonus room with TV and Ping pong table is a fun spot for the kids.
What makes this property unique
Flower gardens everywhere! Also, Cape Cod Rail Trail is easily accessed from this quiet neighborhood-no need to go on busy streets. Everything is close by, such as groceries, fresh seafood, restaurants, entertainment. Unlike many rental properties, all of the closets, bureaus, and cabinets are empty for your use. Also, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to prepare wonderful meals. This home is meticulously cared for and spotlessly clean.
