We were a group of 4 senior couples and we all agreed this was one of our best VBRO stays! Carol and Charlie have paid attention to every detail. The home and gardens were impeccable. There were a treasure trove of games, ping pong table, fire pit and cornhole that we didn't get the opportunity to take advantage of playing. We needed to stay one more day to get a rainy. Even the weather was perfect for our stay. We hope to stay again very soon.

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.

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.

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!

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

Relaxing Eastham getaway steps to Orleans

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

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.

Our First Cape Cod Family Vacation

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.

Beautiful house, immaculate and fun!

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!

Perfect!

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!

Excellent stay at thoughtfully appointed property

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!

Sparkling Clean - Great Location - Well Equipped

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!
