Cute Cape Cottage with pond and pool

I cannot recommend this property for a vacation based on the events that occurred during the past week on our stay there. The owner lives in Boston ( almost 2 hours away ) and due to their lack of knowledge on what general upkeep and maintenance on what needs to be done on the property resulted in 4 adults not having hot water for almost 4 days. We arrived on a Thursday and due to our long drive fell asleep that night and was unaware that there was no hot water available. Heading out to the beach on Friday we all came back to take showers and the water was tepid at best......we were just glad to take showers. However when we went to take showers after the beach on Saturday the water was cold and we knew there was a problem. We ran the water again on Sunday and it was cold and we called the owner. There were 5 text messages between us and the owner outlining the issue of not having hot water and how can the problem can get fixed as quickly as possible. As it turned out, there was NO propane left in the propane tank to heat the hot water tank. The propane company finally arrived to fill the tank early Monday afternoon but then the tank had to be inspected by a HVAC technician prior to any use due to the explosion - fire potential. The tank had to be filled and get heated so it wasn't until Tuesday morning that we finally had hot water and we were scheduled to leave the next day. This could have been prevented if the owner took more care of the property.

Very nice cottage, on a pond. Everything worked.

We had a great time and enjoyed the cottage. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Weather was in the 70s so the fans were plenty. The porch is where we spent most of our time and we enjoyed the lake, tennis courts and pool. The cottage was close to restaurants and beaches . We would come back again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Whispering Pines. The location is perfect. The development is tucked away off route 6 and having access to the pool and pond were a welcome break from the busy beaches with our one year old. We ended up spending more time in the cottage than anticipated due to our daughter’s nap schedule. ? The cottage itself was clean but not well stocked. We missed the memo to bring our own linens so had to run out the night we arrived and also had to buy our own toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags. The bathroom could really use the update the rest of the house received. The hosts were gracious enough to supply us with a high chair for our daughter and there were even a few toys for her to play with. We loved eating breakfast on the back porch. All in all the trip was a success and we would stay here again in the future.

Comfortable home. Loved swimming and kayaking in the nearby pond. Owner was helpful in answering our questions.

We stayed for a week at this cottage in Eastham. The location is minutes away from restaurants, beaches and other activities and is a short ride from other surrounding Cape towns. The host is super kind and communicative.

This was our first year renting from strangers; we had been staying at a family friend’s house in years prior, so we were nervous but it ended up being a great cottage! Perfect for a family of 4, with two young boys who loved the pool, pond and playground on premise! Did not leave the grounds our first day! Quiet, rustic, friendly neighborhood and centrally located to all the beaches both bay and ocean side! Laundry on prem too which made it easy for mommy too! We look forward to going back next year!

Perfect location for homebase. Well, my grand child attended Surf Camp daily.

The cottage was clean, roomy, and in a great location. The neighborhood was quiet and attractive, and Eastham was convenient to everything we wanted to do. The hosts provide almost everything you would need (including things we never would have thought we might need!). One small note--if you plan to do any real cooking, bring your own knives and cutting board. I completely understand why a host wouldn't want to leave good knives where they could easily walk away, and probably most people on vacation eat out a lot more than we do.

This was a lovely property for our family. We enjoyed the three season porch each morning and evening. The pool on property was a nice option at the end of a long hot day. We enjoyed the easy drive to several bay and ocean beaches, as well as great restaurants and Hole in One donuts for breakfast. The grill on property gave us the option to cook dinners. The lake was nice to sit by each morning but not ideal for swimming. If you bring your own kayak and fishing line you can enjoy it. Overall we loved our stay. I'm sure that you will too.
