About this property

Perfect for 2 families! Private rd w/ private beach & dock!

Our house was built as part of a cottage colony on the Town Cove in Eastham which is currently still known as Cedarcrest. Since then, CAPE ESCAPE has been updated to include two separate fully furnished units...perfect for a 2 family vacation or multi-generational family reunion. The main house has a modernized large kitchen with kitchen table for 4 as well as a dining room off of the kitchen which seats 6. The spacious master bedroom has its own master bath with jacuzzi tub/stand-up shower and sliding glass door leading to a large deck. There is also a comfortable cot available in the master bedroom. The spare bedroom has 2 twin beds and full bath right down the hall. A spacious living room as well as den right off of the kitchen provides comfortable areas to relax.

The quaint guest apartment, with its separate entrance, has a fully stocked kitchen, bath and 2 bedrooms. A queen bed is in one bedroom with a sliding glass door leading to a backyard deck, and the other bedroom has 2 twins.

There are 2 backyard decks, one off of each side. Perfect for morning coffee or afternoon relaxing after a day at the beach! The larger deck provides ample space for the entire family to enjoy a meal together. Central air on the larger side and a.c. window unit provided for the guest apartment. Great outdoor shower too! Wifi throughout the house and Smart TV's located in all of the sitting areas.

CAPE ESCAPE is part of a private neighborhood association with the only private beach on the Town Cove. We even have a small boat ramp for easy launching of small boats, kayaks, paddle boards, etc. If your boat is under 12 ft, you are also able to tie onto our dock for the length of your stay.

Annual Family Getaway

My sons have been coming to Cape Cod and staying by the National Seashore since they were children. Now that they have their own families it is heart warming to see the tradition continue. We stayed with our grandchildren in this two residence property and the arrangement worked out well. Meals were all taken in the main house and their was a quiet space to put the 15 month old down for naps and bedtime in the smaller space. Be sure to bring your own bed sheets and towels. Everything else is provided.

Cape Escape was lovely!

Cape Escape was spacious, clean, well-appointed, and just right for the occasion, which was a 50th reunion of six college classmates. The deck was great and the cove was lovely. The owner was 100% responsive and ensured that we had a great stay!

A fabulous last-minute Cape getaway

We loved Gail’s sweet cottage, a perfect place to stay for a last-minute Labor Day escape to the Cape for our extended family. The main house and side apartment were charming and pristine. Gail was a very nice, responsive and accommodating host. The location was perfect - a lovely street with a short walk to a private beach, and quite central, with proximity to great beaches, ponds, and yummy restaurants. We hope to be back for a longer rest next time.

Memorial Day weekend on the Cape

Everything was perfect at this place. Gail was a pleasure to work with and accommodated early check in and late check out. The separate apartment was great for multiple families. The back yard was park-like and very relaxing. It was a very short walk to a beautiful cove. Wish we had tine to do some kayaking!

Family escape

Grandparents and kids and grandkids all had an early summer getaway - house is perfect for the grands to get away from it all. Good location for all the beaches. All the amenities were available which was appreciated when I forgot my toothbrush. Working with Gail was awesome. She generously extended our stay when we had to delay our arrival. Thank you again so much

Great place - Excellent Location

We enjoyed staying in the Cape Escape. There is plenty of room to relax both inside and outside of the house. Gail has an easy check-in / check-out system and she was easily accessible. The association beach is a short walk away, great option if you have a boat or canoe. We loved the location of this house. Everything you need is a short driving distance - two very nice beaches, plenty of restaurants, shops, etc... in the area. We had a short stay this year but hoping to come back with extended family for a longer stay in this house next year.

Good space

Lovely neighborhood, but limited walking access. Dock was great but water is not really clean enough for swimming. Place worked well for a group, but location a bit isolated from activities. Also a negative is all the construction and landscaping activity, made it quite noisy at times.

A short but wonderful stay at the cape escape!

Gail worked with me to accommodate 2 extra guests for a small family reunion with “just the kids.” She was also was kind enough to let me know a day in advance that we could arrive anytime on check in day because she had no guests the night prior. Due to the clouds and rain on and off the entire weekend, we spent a good amount of time in the house. After the first night we were already planning a return trip! Gail, you have a beautiful home. I would definitely recommend this home away!

Great host and multi-family home!

My impression is that Gail is very detail oriented, friendly and a pleasure to rent from. The home was perfect for 2 families as long as someone doesn’t mind a cozy studio. The homes are very well kept and clean but a bit tired and dated. Great deck and yard for the kids, we also really enjoyed access to the small beach at the end of the street. This house could be a 10/10 with some minor updates, new furniture and beds, towels and linens for the guests and access to a crib and/or pack n play. I would definitely stay here again due to its great location, charming curb appeal and most certainly a top notch host.

Small Family Trip

Gail was very nice to work with and communicated in a timely fashion. The water was nice and enjoyed using our kayaks, and we were only a few mins. from the nice beaches. However, we had some feedback regarding the home: The house was adorable on the outside, but recommend some updates on the interior for guests. The house was located on private road (which is good) but off a very busy road - it was difficult to exit the private road; traffic was very busy. The apartment attached to the house was damp - requires some updating, but a nice feature.

Dream Cape House and Location!

The Cape Escape exceeded my expectations in every way~ it was spacious, clean, inviting, beautifully decorated and had every amenity you would ever need! The kitchens were stocked with cute coffee mugs, dishes, paper plates and towels, not to mention small appliances and cookware. The yards (both front and back) were beautiful - from the hydrangeas to the spacious wrap-around decks. I took my 4 children who are mostly adults now for their first visit to Cape Cod - a trip I've always wanted to take them on as they grew up in California and I had grown up in Connecticut and spent many summers on the Cape. I thought maybe I had overhyped it, but they were not disappointed, ,especially staying in this beautiful home. The kids said one of their favorite highlights of the trip was when we grilled out and hung out eating and talking on the decks. The private dock access was another outstanding feature that made our trip so special - morning coffee and midnight star gazing on the docks were spectacular! The host was so kind and helpful and made every aspect of our stay entirely memorable.

Fantastic Memorial Day Weekend!

Let me just first say that Gail is an absolute pleasure to work with! She immediately responded to all of my emails and was extremely accommodating when it came to both the check-in and check-out times. I really appreciated the fact that during our stay, she sent a message asking if everything was fine and if there was anything that she could do to make our stay even better. We were a group of 9 friends that were having a sort of mini reunion and couldn't have asked for a better home to stay in. The house was super clean and very spacious! We played a ton of yard games and really enjoyed the spacious deck - it even had a large picnic table that we could all fit on. There was also a large sized grill that was perfect for barbecuing! The house is perfectly located, as we were able to enjoy lobster rolls at Arnold's down to road and were only a short drive away from Provincetown. Overall, we had an absolutely fantastic time and would definitely stay here again next year! Thanks again for letting us use your home, Gail!

Fun Cape Escape

This was our first vacation to the cape and we cant wait to come back! We loved the Eastham location and being further away from the mainland. There are so many beautiful beaches, trails, and nature in the area. Gail was so helpful and communication about our stay was so easy and immediate. Her house is on a quiet, private residential road that felt so serene. At the end of the street (only 2-3 min walk from the house) there is a dock and little beach area that is great for launching a kayak or getting your feet wet. We didn't actually go swimming there but i would have had no problem doing so as it was very clean. It is also beautiful for stargazing at night and i greatly miss it! The house itself was perfect for our family. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we would need (paper towels, sponge, dish soap, dishes, pans, ketchup packets, etc) and the layout was great. My children had their own room, there was the centrally located dining area, and then a little den off to the side that was great for morning cartoons and games. The outdoor deck was amazing for family dinners. We stayed in the main house and my in-laws stayed in the attached apartment. This was such a unique and awesome aspect, as it allowed them to have some separation and personal down time, while being able to just walk over to our side for family time. As noted in some of the reviews, there is no indoor connection between the two areas, so you have to walk across the deck to get into the main house by the screen door (or from the front door), but this was really not a problem or inconvenience at all - in fact i kind of liked it. Overall, we loved our stay here and definitely recommend it for a good cape escape :)

Peaceful and restful in Eastham

Pros: Walking into the house you immediately have a sense of peace and relaxation. Very clean house. The house is bigger in person than the pictures. Minimal clutter and knicknacks- Just what you need and nothing you don't. Well stocked kitchen. Very quick walk down to a lovely cove with a small sand beach. Would be great for little kids to splash in the water as it is quite shallow, just be sure to bring water shoes as there are shells. I wish we had had time to rent a kayak and kayak from this cove out to the Nauset Marsh. Next time! The master bedroom is very large and airy and would easily have room for a crib. Master bath is spacious. The backyard is really cute and the deck is huge. Perfect to eat out on. They have smart TV's so in the evening we were able to log into our netflix to wind down. Gail was a dream to work with- super responsive and friendly . Cons: I did know before we rented so it was not a surprise, but please be aware that in order to get from the small apartment to the larger house area, you do have to go outside, there is no internal door. And be aware if you have very little kids sharing the twin bed room, it is not right next door to the master bedroom but is down the hall around the corner [though this was positive for us because my son is a teenager and was happy to not be right near us :) ] The main house's master bed mattress has seen better days but it was perfectly fine for the 3 nights we were there - might be a different story if I were renting for 2-3 weeks. The shower in the smaller apartment seemed old but it was clean for sure. In summary, couldn't beat the space, cleanliness, and location. I would definitely rent this again- Thank you Gail!

Its Like Coming Home, No Stress, No Surprises!

The perfect rental. Let me say upfront we have stayed here multiple times. We rent all over the world, sometimes its good, sometimes great and sometimes it's horrifying. Why is this one great; first the owners, nicest people you will ever meet. The kind of people that leave a bottle of wine welcoming you and drop off clams they dug for your dinner (They call first). 2nd on my list LOCATION. If you have ever been to the cape in the summer you know traffic is a nightmare and finding whatever is you need from a blow-up raft (By the way they have these for your use in the garage) to food. This house is 1 mile or less from everything. The best grocery store, the lobster pound, yes even the blow-up raft emporium. You are close to route 6. The beach is 2 min walk down the road you are on. There is a dock you can keep a small boat, you can dig clams right there, its a beautiful spot. On July 4th and many other summer dates when all the beaches are full and you have to wait in line hours to get in you can simply avoid all of that and use the beach 2 min down the road. How great is that! 3rd on my list is the house itself. You know when you get to a new rental its filled with all someone else's stuff, like nicknacks and things you can't use. The walls are a horrible color, the furniture looks worn and stained, THIS HOUSE HAS NONE OF THAT. Its clean, tastefully done, smells good and has only the stuff you need, like the lobster pot, the BBQ, a blender, a full set of glasses and dishes. Every little detail down to the toilet paper is there. If you are reading this and think that's normal, this is likely your first time renting and you should read reviews before booking anywhere (Seriously). The layout of the house is 4th on my list. The layout is perfect. The main house is there with 3 bedrooms and the bathrooms are awesome including a jacuzzi tub. There are two living rooms both with TV's, one we use for adults one for the kids. They both work well with a full complement of channels like you have at home not the paired down version they normally give renters. I had no problem hooking up the PlayStation as well. One living room also can be closed off to make a bedroom if needed. One also has a fireplace. The kitchen is a good size, well stocked and the fridge is immaculate. There is also a table in there to use. The dining room can hold a lot of people and has a great view of the deck with 8 person table and more seating around. Great House!

About the host

Hosted by Gail

Host profile image
My sister, Janet and I spent our childhood and years since summering on the outer Cape in Eastham. We both married 2 wonderful men and were able to introduce them both to our piece of paradise. The 4 of us have purchased a home together in a quaint neighborhood where we have had family living since the early 80's. We are excited to share this special piece of paradise with you to enjoy! Once you pull off of route 6, you can leave your worries behind. It is by far the best part of the Cape!

Why they chose this property

Once you pull off of route 6, and settle yourself in to CAPE ESCAPE, your vacation will be underway. Being steps away from our private beach is the biggest bonus we offer. It's only 5 houses from your front door! You can fish off of the dock, relax on the beach, take a dip in the water, or bring along a kayak, canoe or paddle board to enjoy! Our modernized cottage offers all the comforts of home, and is fully equipped to ensure that your stay is enjoyable!
