We enjoyed our stay at Michael’s Eastham cottage. Even though we have visited that area several times in the past, we still found Michael’s information helpful concerning sites to visit and places to dine or take out. The location near Fort Hill is exceptional. We walked or drove to the hill parking lot each day. The Yard is well kept and very quiet.We were able to walk our leashed dog in the area with no problems. The renovations were contemporary and unique. The TV and cable choices were very good. The bedroom was comfortable , and the living room and bathroom were more than adequate for the two of us. Michael likes to shop for the unusual and we share his love of antiquity. The cottage is decorated with paintings, eclectic furniture and lamps and a wooden mermaid….it was fun. Unfortunately the weather was very cool for most of our stay so we did not use the screened porch or outside grill. We experienced the usual Spring arrival of a few ants on the floor and we found a few droppings from some winter visitors (mice). Overall it was a very good stay and we would certainly consider renting the property in the future.

If you like hiking along the Nat'l Seashore this is the perfect cottage. Comfortable and well located!

This was our third stay here, and it was as wonderful as before. The cottage is perfect for us, and we have grown to love the location. It's handy to everything we might want to do. We can't wait to return.

This is our 2nd trip to the cottage. It’s a great little place, central to everything we like to do, and very comfortable. We are always happy for a few days on the Cape!

Great location. We walked to Fort Hill each day for great views and beautiful hikes.

We loved staying here the couple days before our wedding. It was just the quiet and peacefulness that we needed before the chaos of a wedding. Only bummer was bring our own linens. It wasn’t in the listing so we saw the email last minute in the drive up form NC so we had to stop and buy some.

AS ALWAYS, CLEAN COMFORTABLE AND RELAXING. THANKS AGAIN

Perfect size cottage for 1-2 people. So clean and has all the conveniences, especially in the kitchen. Has a beautiful screened in porch for dining. So quiet and peaceful, yet close to Route 6. Can walk to and hike Fort Hill, as well as bike the rail trail. Enjoyed it thoroughly!

We truly enjoyed this sweet little cottage. It was clear that Michael put much thought into the artful decor and furnishings, not to mention the fabulous and super functional kitchen. It felt like home. There is much to love about this cottage and the location -- especially its proximinity to Fort Hill; however, our only issue (minor) was the proximinity to Rte. 6 (loud, even in October), and the fact that Fort Hill is closed to dogs (which we had not known, but completely understand, and you will see why once you hike the trails -- which is a must, just not with your pup). If you want to be able to step out the front door to take your dog on a long walk to explore the surroundings, options are limited (basically only one short residential street close by). The location, otherwise, is great for easy access to stunning ocean and bay side beaches and trails, and dining and shopping in both directions, but with the exception of Fort Hill, everything else must be reached by car. Despite our minor issues with the location, we were only here for four days, and wish it could have been longer. Thank you, Michael, for accommodating our short stay.

This is my favorite spot to stay when visiting the Cape, very convenient location, a short walk to the beach and the Penniman House. The cottage is lovely and very comfortable. Thanks, Michael!

Pretty cute small cottage. Loved the screened-in porch which added some space. If you’re into cocktails, it’s well equipped. Minimal space to unpack suitcases and such. Nice large backyard. The Fort Hill area nearby is amazing and has nice trails and magical views. The host is very helpful. The location on the „wrong side“ of route 6 is tricky. We had to cross it multiple times each day by car and by bike. Even with the car, a left turn is very tricky - the visibility is problematic. There is actually an on-demand traffic light, but shockingly, many drivers will run the red light at full speed while you have the „walk“ sign. Happened 7 times out of the first 8 times we used it, less later. Someone, probably a child, will get killed some day, I fear.

Michael, we had a great two weeks at the cottage! As always, we spent more time on the screen porch than in the house. But the new couch is a great addition/upgrade. Not only is it more comfortable, I think it works even better in that room from a design/space perspective. My husband says it’s an excellent napping couch :) As always, appreciate the super timely responses to my inquiries and “hey, where can I find the…” questions. Hope to be back next year.

This was our fourth year in this lovely cottage. We love it and its convenience to National Seashore beaches as well as the view from up the road on Fort Hill. Will return next year !

The cottage is very nice and perfect for two. The screened porch is wonderful for morning coffee, afternoon cocktails and dinner. As others have mentioned, there is the hum of Rt 6 that is noticeable especially with sirens and large trucks. However, the cottage is on a quiet street with not a lot of local traffic. Close proximity to beautiful Coast Guard and Nauset Light Beaches.

It’s very nicely appointed and has everything one would need. The mermaid in the bedroom took a little getting used to ;). Great access to the rail trail.

Cottage #4 was perfect for our 1 week stay. The owner was very helpful, the location was ideal, all in all highly recommended.

Everything was perfect, only one thing would need to be replaced is the couch that is not in good condition, dirty by the winter moisture. However, we recommend your cottage, all the rest is fine.

The cottage was amazingly stocked and was in a great location. Everything portrayed in the photos was accurate. Our only regret was that we were unable to stay longer! Hopefully we are able to visit again and utilize more of the amenities that the cottage provides :)

Enjoyed our short stay at the cottage. Well stocked with everything we needed and cozy place to relax. Screened in porch was especially nice in the evenings!

This cozy cottage is located in a beautiful private setting within walking distance to Fort Hill and driving distance to just about anywhere on the Cape. The house is well equipped and comfortable. I will definitely be back!

My husband and I stayed here to get out of the city for the weekend. Wonderful cottage with a well stocked kitchen marking it easy to cook! Great proximity to Natl sea shore and great little walking trail near the property. Very peaceful and relaxing!!

This was our second time here, and it was wonderful again. It's so nice to walk up to Fort Hill to watch the sun rise and to walk on the trails. The cottage is really comfortable and so well stocked. We can't wait to return.

The cottage is well equipped and nicely furnished. It is at the end of a shared driveway and has lots of privacy. I loved the screened in porch with the comfy chairs and big table. It is close to route 6 and you can hear the traffic but it became an unnoticed background sound -almost like ocean waves.
