Charming Cape Cod cottage on Depot Pond & bike trail with pond access
Our Cottage is conveniently located on Depot Pond (with pond access) and next to the Cape Cod Rail Bike Trail. Both the kitchen and bathroom are newly renovated. All windows have been replaced. There is a new Mini-Split heating/AC system installed for this season to add to your comfort. Our large deck overlooks the pond and is the perfect spot to relax and watch the sunset or enjoy coffee in the morning. There are 2 bedrooms with 3 beds (2 twin beds and one queen) to comfortably sleep 4 people. The cottage is fully furnished inside and includes a table and chairs on the deck. New in 2023 is a Weber Gemini gas grill. There is direct pond access to Depot Pond through the backyard. There is high-speed WiFi throughout the cottage. The location is close to beaches on Great Pond (freshwater), Cape Cod Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. There are many great restaurants within a few miles of the cottage.
The property our home sits on has been in our family for generations and was originally purchased in British pounds. Eastham is such a special place for our family and we love gathering in our home. We hope you can experience the charm & relaxation of Eastham which we so cherish.

Great vacation
We had a perfect week in Eastham. Cottage was located near everything we wanted to do. House is right on the rail trail and we rode our bikes on it every day. The house had everything we needed for our stay. We are hoping to come back next summer!

This is a great place for 1-3 people who want to swim, watch birds, and read on a deck. I relax as soon as I pull in.

Sweet and comfortable cottage in a central location
We spent a delightful 10 days here, overlooking the pond and riding bikes everywhere along the Cape Cod Rail Trail which is literally next door. Kitchen was well-equipped, TV good, new AC units did the job, and drawer/closet space generous. The hosts responded quickly to fix a problem with the new Weber grill which then worked great. Be aware of no dishwasher and BYO linens & towels (we rented from The Furies who responded immediately).

Easy and comfortable
We had a lovely stay in this charming cottage overlooking Depot Pond. We were close to the bay and the ocean and it was easy to get in and out to Route 6. Best was being right next to the cape cod rail trail for bike rides. The house is well equipped and the indoor and outdoor furniture is comfortable. The air conditioning is quiet and effective. Would be happy to return.

A wonderful return visit
We were fortunate to stay in this clean, updated, and well-equipped home for a second summer in a row. It’s hard to beat the proximity to multiple ponds, the bike bath, and the National Seashore beaches. Perfect getaway for our family of 4!

A quiet home base
This clean and well-equipped cottage was perfect for me as a solo renter. It's close to all the things I enjoy and provided me a lovely home base. I'm a swimmer, so staying home on the deck and swimming regularly in the pond was idyllic.

Cape Escape
Just the right size for a couple. Very clean and comfortable. The air conditioning was a plus..nice views of Depot Pond from the ample deck. Best of all, it was only a few yards from the bike trail. There was also a good market right up the street. We really enjoyed being there.

Beautiful pond view cottage
We loved this cottage. It was bright, clean, and comfortable and had everything we expected. We adored the location on the edge of Depot Pond and with easy access to First Encounter beach, the bike path, and the Visitor Center. The deck was well equipped with a nice table and umbrella and comfortable outdoor furniture and was a peaceful place to spend time.

Cape Cod gem
This house was perfect for a family of 4 that loves the Cape Cod pond life! The home was very clean upon our arrival, updated and with a charming decor (true to photos). Check-in was as easy as it gets, directions were so clear and had no issues so we didn’t have a single question the entire week! Loved the deck overlooking the pond and the convenient location - steps to the Rail Trail, easy access to bike/kayak rental, fishing, markets and restaurants, and both bay and seashore beaches. It was a piece of paradise for us and we can’t wait to return!
