Eastham fun
Loved this house. We (family of 6) have been coming to Eastham for 15 years and renting various houses. This location was excellent for us. Easy bike to bay and ocean.
We had a small issue and the Vacasa staff responded right away.
We hope to rent this house again next year.
This home was clean, comfortable and close to all the wonders of Cape Cod. Vacasa was also quick to respond to our questions. We can’t wait to come back!

Go location in North Eastham
OK but it’s a suburban setting and old lady interior.

Hi Robert, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about the property. I appreciate your honest feedback regarding the suburban setting and the interior style. Your input is valuable to us as we strive to enhance our guests’ experiences.
The place was amazing. There were a couple issues that should be addressed, but this is not the forum to do so. You can reach out to me if you wish, but I did leave a note.

Tranquil Heron Cottage
The property was excellent. Dealing with Vrbo, and Vacasa was frustrating. I will avoid in the future.
The most beautiful weather made this cozy house an enjoyable stay. We lived in the screened in porch area. House clean and supplied with all basic needs.

Tranquil It Is
This home was perfect for a family vacation. Tranquil, quiet with a fully appointed home. Great location, close to beaches, restaurants, and sites. Everything you need is here, used the kitchen everyday. Definitely would make a return visit to this home.
This house was very clean when we arrived and was exactly as listed. Such a cute house with lots to do inside like board games and a fire pit. Would recommend this house to anyone
The house was clean and neat with plenty of room. Everything you needed was available. We loved the area, close to beaches and shopping. I would definitely rent this place again. Loved being able to take my dog. Fun time.
This was our first trip to Cape Cod and found Eastham to be a perfect location. We were close to the National Seashore beaches and plenty of good restaurants. The house was great for a family of four with two teenagers that each had their own room. The screened in porch was lovely for drinking coffee and enjoying the morning. The house has partial AC with units in the bedroom so it was comfortable for sleeping. The main living space did get warm on the days where the temperatures were in the upper 80s.

Cozy quaint home
Quaint cozy home in prime location. Everything you need is in the home which is great. All you really need to bring is your toothbrush. The house definitely has curb appeal. There are games to play inside the home and no issues with Wi-Fi. The bedroom decor is a little dated but in pretty good condition. The living area is very comfortable. Definitely enough space so that everybody has their downtime. I can’t really think of anything negative about the home - overall it was very comfortable and cozy. No issues with anything. Everything was working fine. I would definitely stay here again.

Peace and quiet in a perfect location
The screened in porch was our favorite spot in this lovely home. We enjoyed meals listening to birds sing while feeling the cool breeze. You can walk to bayside Cook’s Brook beach (0.7 of a mile) and drive 8 minutes to Coast Guard and Nauset Light beach. The neighborhood is lush, green with gorgeous trees and a short walk to Hole-in-One bakery. This cottage is clean, comfortable and comes with everything you need to enjoy time on the beach. The outdoor Symmons shower has fantastic water pressure and a foot wash - nothing better after a day at the beach. If you’re seeking comfort and convenience look no further - it’s as tranquil as the name implies!

Misleading
The house was advertised as having air conditioning. There were air conditioners not installed in the closets. When we called Vacasa they didn’t help at all. They recommended that we install the air conditioners ourselves.

Few Issues
Mostly was a great property - One issue was a fan that would not shut off (resolved)... Second was the Light over the Dining Table did not work. This was an issue and detracted from our stay. We wanted to use this space to play some games and really could not due to the fact that there was not enough light....
