Great Place to Unwind

The check-in process was so easy and seamless with lock keypad being activated exactly at 4pm. The house itself matched the listing except for one small exception. There is no game room as one of the pictures on the listing seemed to indicate, but there are 5 or 6 houses on the property for rental, so one of the other houses may have a game room. Either way, it wasn't a big deal since we were using the house as our home base and spending most of the day adventuring around the Cape. The waterfront view is beautiful and the kids loved hanging out and relaxing on the dock. The house is on Mid-Cape Highway (Route 6), which is super busy, but you don't really notice the traffic noise because the house is tucked back off the road. You just have to be super careful when pulling out of the driveway. The location does give you easy and quick access to other parts of the Cape. Overall, this was the perfect for our family and we would highly recommend it!

Lovely Property with Gracious Host

Our cottage was one of several on the same lot. We had plenty of privacy, it would be a great location for a family reunion as many families could have their own house. Our cottage was clean and well-equipped, on the water. It was too cold for us in early May, but the shared dock would be fun for canoeing and kayaking in the warmer months. Definitely a spot to return to.

Anniversary Weekend

We love staying at Anchorage on the Cove. This past weekend we stayed at the Pilot House. We loved it so much we booked a stay for a week at the end of the month. The home is clean and well kept, the deck is wonderful with a magnificent view of the salt pond. The management was incredibly accomodating and responsive. Our cockapoo loved it there as well.

Great house with a beautiful view and your pup can come!

We stayed here for a weekend. The house is small, yet comfortable. Easy to find, spotless, and in a good central location. We visited p-town and Chatham easily from this location. The cluster of homes all have nice views and access to the water for kayaks which were available for free with the stay. We really enjoyed staying here and plan on returning!

Great cottage and great location

Everything wonderful with 2 exceptions. Difficult to find. They need to put the street address on the street and visible from bott directions. Second sovej was gas which we have no experience with. Written instructions would have been helpful. Management company very responsive however.

Relaxing Dog-Friendly Waterfront Cottage

My girlfriend and I had a fantastic visit and were even happier to include her fur baby on the trip. The location is amazing, everything was seamless, and my questions were answered quickly over the phone by professional staff. I also had the pleasure of meeting the property owner and definitely plan to rent here again. -M

Excellent Stay on Cape Cod

We stayed in a nice cottage on a very pretty inlet in Eastham, Cape Cod, MA. The property was clean and fun -- it has a wonderful deck overlooking the water. The only drawback is that the driveway is located right on Route 6 -- the busiest highway on the Cape; this makes exiting and entering the property a bit difficult. Otherwise, this is an excellent place to stay. We had a wonderful vacation.

Great value for being on the water with a dog.

If you’re looking for an affordable place right on the water and have a dog, this is a great option. It’s a little compound and everybody has a dog. There is a dock and kayaks you can use. The place is smallish but not tiny. It’s a bit dark and the kitchen is small and sparsely stocked. There is a nice deck facing the water. For some reason the architect oriented the cottage so the main view of the water is from the eating area in the kitchen, not the living room. The place was very clean. Nice outdoor shower. The bed was comfortable. The wind broke the umbrella on the deck and that was no problem.

lovely view of the water and since the water was cold the cottage was cool at night even with the warm temps during the day. Could have been cleaner. Looks like no one has stayed there for several months. we had no contact with property manager due to Covid

Relaxing spot, great value

This is a relaxing cozy cottage with everything you need. The deck is the best for spreading out, basking in the sun, or enjoying the view of the cove. The cove is full of vegetation so not good for swimming, but you are close to the National Park Seashores, which are free if you have a National Park pass. Close to a large supermarket and great restaurants. Neighborhood is not walkable, we had to drive to exercise the dog. Pros: sun and shade on deck, expansive views, canoes, kayaks, dock, dog run, outdoor shower, close to National Park Seashores Cons: not a walkable neighborhood, traffic getting in and out of the compound was nerve wracking, any time of day, game room advertised but didn't exist

Summer on Cove 2019

The location of our property was absolutely beautiful and relaxing. A place for renewal and pondering. We were able to remain on the location and look out on the tranquil cove or head out to see the whales, take a hike or visit the museums. Kayaking, canoeing and boating were available as well. All around wonderful experience. Thanks to all.

Nice break

The house was just the right size for our family (1 child, 2 adults and a dog). We enjoyed being able to bring our dog, it was nice because the deck had a gate so our dog could wander freely on the deck and lounge in the sun. The kitchen had the necessities. The view was great and the boats were fun to take out in the water. My daughter and husband liked fishing off the dock. One thing that was difficult was getting out onto the road, the traffic was difficult sometimes. We ended up turning right and then turning around a lot.

Adorable Cape Cod Cottage on Town Cove in Eastham

Rarely does a location "live" up to the photos / descriptions seen on line, but The Pilot House truly was as advertised ! Beautiful views, lots of waterfowl to entertain us from the gated deck, pet friendly and immaculate ! Great customer service too . Perfect for our needs , close to The National Seashore and all lower cape attractions. We plan to return in the Fall .
