Space Description:
The East House has everything you need for a relaxing and memorable family vacation. This unique home offers three full levels of living space, including a spacious loft and a finished lower level with bonus entertaining areas. Outside, a large yard provides plenty of room to relax, play, and entertain.

The first-floor features central heat and air conditioning and includes a fully equipped, well-stocked kitchen with island seating for four and a beverage center perfect for entertaining. The formal dining room comfortably seats 12, while the inviting living room offers a cozy fireplace and ample seating for gathering. Also on the main level are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms: one bedroom with a king-sized bed and an en-suite bath with large shower, and a second bedroom with a queen bed, a twin bed, and a crib, along with a nearby full bath with stand-up shower.

Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious loft ideal for working, playing, lounging, or sleeping on the Lovesac sofa. This level also includes a large full bathroom with a tub/shower combination and double vanity. Bedroom three features two queen-size beds, while bedroom four is perfect for kids with three twin-sized beds.

The finished cellar is designed for fun and relaxation, with a bar area, fireplace, lounge seating, and a 65-inch smart TV. Enjoy classic arcade games like Golden Tee, NBA Jam, and shuffleboard. This level also includes a separate laundry room with a half bath and a convenient office nook equipped with a computer monitor, keyboard, mouse and wireless printer.

Step outside to the backyard oasis, where everything is set up for quality time with family and friends. Cook up a feat on the Weber Genesis S435 gas grill, dine outdoors with seating for 12, or relax with a book or movie on the 55-inch SunBrite TV under the heated, covered patio. Enjoy lawn games like wiffle ball or cornhole or spend some time perfecting your short game on the putting green. Whether indoors or out, the East House is designed for comfort, connection and fun.

What a fantastic stay in Padanaram. I would give this 6/5 stars if that was possible. The house had everything you could want - beach gear, pantry staples, drinks, toys and games for kids, stroller, etc. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and we easily hosted dinner for 12 a few times. The check in was a breeze and comms were excellent. The basement bar was a huge plus and we were able to hang out down there without waking my toddler niece. The backyard is huge and the outdoor hangout area was so comfy. All in all - VERY nice stay and we will certainly stay here again.

Gorgeous home and location!

Words can’t describe how perfect this home was for a mini family reunion! The amenities provided everything we needed for our stay and the location (walkable to town and the water) was an added bonus. Everyone in our group agreed that we’d return at some point in the future to reconnect and relax. Thank you to the owners for a wonderful stay.

Perfect weekend away!

The house exceeded our expectations- we were a group of 9, and everyone had plenty of space while also all being able to hang out comfortably all together. Spending time at the property ended up being a highlight of our weekend, and the coffee station was a huge hit in the mornings :)

Absolutely fantastic!

Stayed here with four friends for a girls weekend and it was outstanding. Communication, check-in and out process, etc. was all super easy and straightforward. The house is GREAT. Big, clean, tons of amenities that I didn't even realize I would need, beautiful outdoor space, kitchen with everything you could possibly need, really comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, an enormous finished basement with fun activities and a bar, and walking distance to the little adorable village. We loved it and would be thrilled to stay here again!

Well equipped home in a perfect location

We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay here. The location very near town was ideal and the back yard was beautifully landscaped and was perfectly equipped for grilling for our growing family. Our grandchildren really enjoyed playing in the huge back yard. The property exceeded our expectations which were very high to start with. One family member with lots of VRBO experience said it was best equipped rental house he had ever seen. We highly recommend this rental.

Beautiful place!

As weird as this is, one sign of a great place to stay is the quality of the toilet paper! Not only was it as soft as we have at home, but we were blown away by the generosity of goods for our stay - the coffee syrups, all the coffee pods, spices (while we may not have used them, what a feeling of comfort not to have to run to a store for every little thing), the two bottles of wine and 3 cans of Mayflower, and I could go on and on. The quality of the beauty products for face and bodies was excellent and we felt like we were being spoiled. The plethora of activities available for children, even to the inclusion of dinnerware for them, was amazing. We absolutely loved the labeling - on doors and in cabinets, even with the intended count of each. I loved that we could walk just about anywhere, including to beach, village, and church. This is just a tiny suggestion - include decaf in the options for coffee. I am unique in not being able to have caffeine, so I bought decaf and left the remainder of the bag for the next guests - you set a perfect example with your generosity of paying it forward! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home. And a small side note: we had some trouble with A/C units that kept turning off upstairs the 1st couple of days.
