Eastham, Massachusetts
A 3 bed/2 bath traditional saltbox cottage that offers a relaxed, comfortable environment for families or couples looking to enjoy a vacation on the Cape. The recently updated home is located close to both bay and ocean beaches. Some highlights include a large screened-in porch, deck with outdoor shower, large yard, and covered car port.
The cottage is located on a quiet wooded cul-de-sac in North Eastham. Convenient access to grocery shopping and restaurants. Most importantly, both bay and ocean beaches are close by, as well as several fresh water ponds and walking trails at the Audubon Society. Cooks Brook beach is about 1 mile away from house and is a beautiful place to watch the sunset over the bay!
The large screened-in porch complete with outdoor table/chairs and gas grill, allowing you to dine or just relax outside in the shade.
The first floor living area is home to the fully-equipped, updated kitchen and a large, open seating area to talk with family and friends. There is also a separate living room equipped with a flat screen TV and DVD player for those who would like to watch sports or a movie uninterrupted.
The master bedroom and bathroom with shower are located on the main floor.
Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms, a loft space, and another full bathroom. The first bedroom has a queen size bed. The second large bedroom has 2 twin beds. There are window AC units in both bedrooms upstairs. The upstairs bathroom has a shower/tub combo. The loft area is located upstairs and can be used as a flexible space for a quiet read or a playroom for the little ones. House has wifi. SATURDAY TO SATURDAY ONLY DURING SEASON.
The home is charming! It’s warm and cozy and is well equipped with everything needed for a great experience. We really enjoyed the screened in porch. We look forward to returning next year!
We stayed at this property two years now and are thinking about a third. I probably shouldn't be giving it such a glowing review because it will just make it harder to book for us, but here goes. The place is large and clean with high ceilings in the main room and nicely divided into sections. There is a TV/game room, a living kitchen room, an upstairs loft and three bedrooms. Our family of two adults, two kids and two grandparents had plenty of room with some to spare. I am a big man, and although the queen size bed was smaller than the king my wife and I are used to, it was firm and comfortable. The property is in the woods, and very private. The location is close to 6, and Orleans, but not too close. If you don't have too much stuff to carry, there are a couple beaches walking distance from the property, but we always jumped in the car with our gear and headed to First Encounter Beach - a lovely lovely spot. Check it out. Finally, the owner of the property is really responsive and easy to deal with. Our first year there was an issue with the BBQ and he had someone out to fix it immediately. This Summer as we were worrying about COVID, he was very responsive, flexible and professional. I really cannot recommend this place enough. Go, enjoy yourself, but save a couple weeks for us!
Eastham is a great location for activities like biking, beach visits, and hikes or running. Good set up for family with multiple levels and lots of cozy spots to curl up with a book (on the porch, deck, in the yard's hammock, in the window nook, . . .). All five of us were happy. A bit pricey, but worth it in the end.
We totally enjoyed our stay at the Salt Box Cottage. The space was perfect for our family and we enjoyed eating in the screened porch, watching movies on a rainy evening and reading in the sunny nook. This property is very well-maintained and is a short walk/bike ride to the beach. We'll plan to come back again next year!
This is the fourth place we have rented in Eastham in as many years, and by far the best. It’s quiet and tucked into the woods at the end of a culdesac yet is close to beaches and food. It has a well designed floor plan and a bright, airy and clean interior. I have very intense dust allergies and almost always react in people’s homes from furniture and pillows, but had no problem at all here. The two queen mattresses are solid, but the twin room beds are best for kids. They are a little flimsy for an adult, but do-able. One of the best things about this place is the huge screened in porch - adds a whole additional outdoor space to hang out in. The owner was professional and responsive when we had an issue. I highly recommend this place - enjoy!
Summer vacation 2019. Absolutely love this cottage. It’s at the end of a quiet street and it’s clean and it’s completely relaxing. Thank you again.
We really enjoyed our vacation! The location of this property is ideal. You can easily enjoy the outer cape but still have easy access to larger stores in Orleans just a short drive away. We also enjoyed walking to the beach since it is under a mile away!
The location is centrally located on Cape and between the ocean and bay sides. The house is lovely and the new additions of the dining table in the porch and the outdoor hammock were well used. Plenty of hot water for showers and the kitchen is well stocked. It suited our family of 6 adults very well. The main rooms were warm but not unbearable with the windows open and the fans going. The bedrooms were cool with the air conditioning. Blake the owner was great and responsive and we used their beach and restaurant suggestions.
Very nice and private location. Very clean and updated. Perfect for Cape Cod excursion.
We could not be happier with Saltbox Cottage. Blake was quickly responsive to all communication. There was just two of us in the house so we mostly used the main floor. The loft area made a great yoga/meditation space. The furniture is very comfy with a choice of lounging areas. The kitchen is very well stocked with all the appliances, cooking utensils, pots and pans you could want. What was also nice was the availability of trash bags and dishwasher soap. The screened in porch is lovely to sit in with the property surrounded by trees and very quiet. The cottage is conveniently located to both bay and ocean beaches and to other communities as well. We have stayed in many vacation rentals over the years and this was by far one of the best. The only complaint (and this is minor) was the mustiness in the basement where the washer and dryer (excellent) are kept. Running a dehumidifier would solve the problem. This may have been more of a concern for us as we suffer from allergies. I will not hesitate to rent Saltbox again the next time we visit the Cape. It is a real find.
