Brought to you by the Heart of Cape Cod, Gray Whale is your easygoing home base for bayside breezes, beach days, and backyard hangouts. Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac just minutes from both Campground and Nauset Light beaches, this relaxed 3BR retreat invites you to explore by bike, fire up the grill, rinse off in the outdoor shower, and unwind in true Cape style—with salty toes, fresh seafood, and nowhere else to be.
We respect the autonomy of our guests but are available by text, email, phone, carrier pigeon, smoke signal, yodeling, or Facetime
We are located bayside in a lovely neighborhood cul-de-sac. Very central to everything. Close to Cape Cod Rail Trail (bike trail), kettle ponds, ocean side Coast Guard and Nauset Light beach, Salt Pond Visitors Center, Eastham Windmill, and First Encounter beach.
Brought to you by the Heart of Cape Cod, Gray Whale is your classic, laid back Cape Cod escape tucked on a quiet cul de sac in Eastham — just minutes from both bayside and oceanside beaches. The salty breeze drifts through screened windows, the yard is perfect for yard games or evening talks around the fire pit, and the nearby tidepools and trails invite easy days along the coast. Whether you’re pedaling on the Cape Cod Rail Trail, chasing sunrises at Nauset Light, or strolling to Thumpertown for golden hour, this home puts you right in the heart of it all.
Step inside and you’ll feel instantly at ease. A fully stocked kitchen with breakfast bar invites casual meals and lobster boils alike. The living room is made for easy evenings — settle in with a streamed movie or a favorite board game. With a first floor bedroom and full bath, plus two bedrooms and a second full bath upstairs, everyone has space to relax and refresh after a day in the sun.
Outside, the deck is just right for grilled dinners and morning coffee, the yard welcomes cornhole and laughter, and a classic Cape Cod outdoor shower awaits sandy toes (seasonal). Best of all, the comforts of home — from strong WiFi to full laundry — help make every stay stress free and simple.

Airbnb adds its own platform service fee on top of this and collects local taxes. These are not controlled or collected by us
