We require 7 day, Saturday to Saturday reservations during summer season which runs from June 21 - 30 August. Shorter 3 day stays may be available before school vacation starts in June and after Labor Day. Guests who desire a shorter stay during the summer might consider booking the full week and sharing the week with a friend or family member. Shorter stays will be considered for any weeks we have open 2 weeks out.

We provide all the comforts of home with a well equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, dishes, utensils, crock pot, even a waffle maker. LR/DR combination has ceiling fan and A/C. Fans in both BR's. Master BR has one queen, 2nd BR has two twin beds. Wrap around deck with outdoor furniture looks out on private back yard with picnic table and charcoal grill. The house has deeded rights to Eastham Town Cove for kayaking. First Encounter Bayside Beach is 2.5 miles away and the newly renovated National Seashore Visitor Center and hiking trails are just 2 miles away. Coast Guard Beach great for surfing 3.5 miles from house and Nauset Light Beach 4 miles away. Eastham Windmill Green just 1 mile from the house is great for picnics and often has events/parades.

Wellfleet Audubon Sanctuary is just over the town line and has miles of walking trails and a newly renovated center. Wellfleet also boasts one to the last drive-in theaters for family nostalgia as well as an in-door multi-screen cinema.
Our location makes it easy to explore both ends of the Cape--take a day ferry to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard from Hyannis or take in the gift shops and art galleries of Province town. Both are just 1/2 hour form Eastham.

Wonderful place- hope to be back soon!

This house was perfect for our family of four (2 parents, daughters 15 and 13). Great location, super clean, quiet. Communications with the hosts was a breeze. Property is well-kept and welcoming. Would definitely recommend- can't wait to go back!

Week at the Cape

Spent a week with family, short drive to beach and restaurants. Getting in and off 6 was not fun but very doable. Can get a little traffic noise if hanging out outside but overall a great experience and hosts where very friendly and informative.

Well kept and conveniently located Cape Home.

Classic little Cape cottage. Well maintained with a lovely back yard. Lots of birds! Very clean. The kitchen had plenty of equipment. Very conveniently located. The hosts were very responsive and took the time to provide additional information regarding activities occurring the weekend we were there. Close to a variety of beaches and lots of other things to do.

Cute, Comfortable, Classic Cape Cottage

We loved our time staying at this cozy cottage in Eastham. Noreen and Tom were gracious hosts, providing for our needs without ever being intrusive. The house was very clean and well-stocked. The location was convenient for exploring the wonders of Cape Cod. The air conditioning unit in the main room kept the whole place cool, and the house was nice and quiet indoors. The place was closer to the highway than I expected. This made it convenient for going to the beach or restaurants and stores, but there was traffic noise when outside in the yard (which, by the way, was very pretty!). We had a great vacation staying at this lovely vacation home!

Great house!

Wonderful well-appointed house with everything you could need! Extremely clean and comfortable house. Great location right off of route 6 with easy access to Eastham and other cape destinations. Small compact layout, bathroom is small (tight space where the toilet was, as described by my large husband) but it was fine. Nice property with attentive hosts!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this well appointed, very clean and organized vacation home. The location provides easy access to many beaches and a kayak launch. The hosts Noreen and Tom are knowledgeable and willing to share their wealth of knowledge of the Eastham community. Oh, and the Barry's Tea is a plus! Thank you!!!

Great Eastham Option

We liked this cottage very much. It was very clean and well-maintained, and extremely well-equipped, including all manner of small appliances. The owners were communicative and very responsive and helpful and friendly (they even left us a gift bag of goodies because some outside re-shingling was not yet finished and they felt bad about that, even though it didn't bother us a bit—there were no workmen there during our stay). We have been going to this part of the Cape for over 25 years and have stayed at a large number of places; this was one of our favorites.

Well maintained and very clean home. Very helpful owners. Everything we needed in the kitchen and a nice deck and yard. Close to Orleans with grocery stores and restaurants as well as Town Cove. Having a laundry and dishwasher was great! AC kept the entire house cool during some hot days. We very much enjoyed out time!

Eastham cottage

This lovely cottage is perfect for a couple or a family. Open living room, dining area and kitchen nice for families and two bedrooms. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipment, utensils, dinnerware etc. Gas stove, fridge and dishwasher as well as washer and dryer , all very clean. Bathroom was very clean also. We brought our own linens and towels. There is a good sized deck to sit and enjoy coffee or lunch. Lots of trees and birds and bunnies!! There is a charcoal grill, which we loved. Cottage is close to Rte 6, lots of restaurants, gift shops and things to do close by as well as multiple beaches. Best sunset view is at First Encounter beach!! Although we did not meet the owners, they were in touch and gave us their numbers in case we needed anything. We were comfortable and felt that they made everything available to make the guests feel at home. I would definitely suggest this cottage to others looking for a comfortable place to stay that's close to things to do.

Perfect location.

The hosts were very responsive and helpful. The house was the perfect size for 3 of us. Quick ride to everything we wanted to do being so close to Rt. 6. And secluded enough to get that woodsy Cape feel. Forgot to bring a bar of soap!! If that’s my biggest problem in a home away from home, I’d call that a success. Thanks Tom and Noreen- we will be back!

A cozy and functional little home in the center of the Cape

Stayed at this cottage at the end of May for a long weekend escape to Cape Cod. The hosts were very quick to respond to any questions and provided useful information on the area. The cottage is located on a beautiful property, lots of bushes and trees provide lots of privacy and feels like there is nobody else around (while there are a few houses next to it). Lots of bids pass by, so don't even need to go to Audubon park and can just sit on the porch and watch them fly by. There was even a grackle nest in the bushes nearby so we had lovely feathery neighbors. At the same time it is on the major route so very easy and fast to go places. We ended up going to Orleans for takeout and grocery a lot, which is just a few minutes away. Also went to Wellfleet and beaches nearby, very quick drive. The cottage itself is very well maintained. As soon we entered it smelled very fresh, as if the cleanup was just finished right before we arrived. Very neat and clean. The kitchen (right after location) was one of the major reasons for choosing this place. It is small but super functional, has every possible thing you need to cook (hey, even a waffle iron!). We cooked half of the meals and the other half was takeout. The queen bed was comfortable, a good compromise for me loving hard mattress and my husband loving to sleep on a cloud kind of mattress. The couch felt nice and sturdy, so probably converts as a nice full bed but we did not need it. We were also pleasantly surprised to find a Roku box, so we could watch our favorite Youtube shows on TV. When my husband saw Roku he said "oh, it's just like home!". This phrase describes the place pretty well. It very thoughtfully put together, as if the owners would live there themselves so they put extra care into making the place comfortable and functional. Such great attitude is not that common in rentals and I was happy to find such place. I only wish we had some more vacation time to spend there.

Everything as expected. Conveninet, easy to get to exceptionally helpful owners, easy to reach, who gave us much useful info on the phone once we booked. Amazingly well outfitted kitchen. Not a thing missing that someone who likes to cook would want. Only thing I didn't expect, but didn't affect us because it was March is how close the property is to Route 6.

About the host

Hosted by Noreen Thompsen

Host profile image
We previously owned the Cove Bluffs Motel, a small family motel as well as this house and the house has many regulars that have been staying here for years. We sold the motel and are now hoping to spend some time at the beach and kayaking from our Town Cove beach ourselves after 16 years of very intensive summers. We have traveled extensively with vacation rentals through Homeaway all over the world and know what makes for a great vacation rental. We have tried to provide all the extras to make your stay enjoyable.

We met when living in Karlsruhe, Germany in 1986 and in 2016 celebrated "Zoo Day" (our first date at the Karlsruhe Zoo 30 years before). Tom studied German in college so he can conjugate verbs and Noreen learned "survival" German and can eat and shop fluently. Noreen also studied French in college and can still read it fairly well and can still communicate somewhat. Our daughter graduated from McGill in Montreal so now I don't practice as much as I would like. We both get better with practice in the two languages and have hosted many guests from Germany, France and Canada over the years.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house because of it's proximity to our house and it's great location just 2 miles from the Cape Cod National Seashore Visitor Center and the beautiful sunsets and tide pools at First Encounter (bay side) Beach. Great Pond (Wiley Park) is also nearby and provided a freshwater swim location where our kids took swim lessons. Eastham has a small town feel but near plenty of live theater, live music, shopping, museums, lectures and cultural events.

What makes this property unique

The house has a nice 3/4 acre lot rimmed by trees and a thick buffer zone of trees between it and route 6. The private backyard, grill and picnic table give guests a great location for a cook-out. We added the wrap around deck a few years ago to further enhance the nature experience. Birds, bunnies and squirrels are our yard mates and a 3 Minute walk to our little marsh beach on Town Cove is a great stroll whether or not you bring or rent a kayak or canoe. If you do kayak or canoe, a must is a picnic on uninhabited Hopkins Island just across the Cove and a paddle through the salt marshes.
