My family planned a last-minute long weekend away to Cape Cod. We were so fortunate to have found this amazing property - Cape Expectations. Our experience was pleasurable from the moment we arrived until sadly, we had to depart. We took advantage of all that this location and house had to offer.
We were a group of 7 of all different ages (2 seniors, my husband and I along with our children ages 10, 5 and 1 year's old). The layout was perfect for our group with 2 bedrooms and a bath upstairs and 2 bedrooms and a bath on the main level. In addition, the house has 2 living areas with family sized TV's. During the day, we biked or beached and in the evening, it was ping pong or corn hole tournaments followed by Smores by the firepit.
We enjoyed lunch at local restaurants and cooked dinner at the property. This kitchen is a chef's dream - Clean, well-equipped and open to the living area allowing me, the cook, the ability to enjoy the family while preparing dinner.
Carol, the owner was wonderful to communicate with. I have already shared this property with a good friend as this house is truly a find. Thank you Carol!

We had a perfect stay at this beautiful, well- equipped home, and we can’t say enough good things about both the property and the owners’ responsiveness and attention to every possible detail. The home and gardens are truly lovely and have a fresh and clean feel (feels like a very recent renovation). The huge comfortable king beds, spacious and light filled rooms, comfy twin beds for the kids, easily accessible first floor laundry (essential with a 3 year old and a baby!), fully equipped kitchen, wood burning fire pit which we used for s’mores night, cornhole game, swings for the kids, Legos and many other toys in the basement…incredible!! And if you don’t have kids, the house is still perfect : many huge flat screen tvs and a gorgeous finished basement as well as big family room allow for movie nights and just chilling.
We have been renting in Eastham for many years, and this home far exceeded our expectations and prior rentals. And I must mention the LOCATION, which is prime, while still being in a very pretty, quiet area with no Route 6 noise. All the best beaches, tons of restaurants, and Stop and Shop are within a few miles or less. We rented bikes and were able to access the fantastic Cape Cod trails just a block away. (Bike to Hog Island Brewery for a fun lunch with outdoor or indoor seating. Get a dozen oysters while there from the Holbrook Oyster stand. The owner is 6th generation Wellfleet!) Bottom line: we loved this spacious and peaceful home!

The house is beautiful and exactly as pictured. It is very modern, clean and well-stocked. The property is private and beautifully landscaped. The back yard was our favorite place to hang out. We couldn’t get enough of the firepit, playing cornhole and making smores. We loved our stay and would come back again. The owners were very responsive and helpful. We highly recommend this home.

My family had a very enjoyable stay in this very comfortable, beautifully decorated home, which was spotless and spacious. Checking in and out was seamless. The pictures are accurate. The kitchen has everything you might need. The basement is a large additional living space. The location is private and very convenient. Beaches are… everywhere! Beautiful even in November. In addition to the bike trail, try the Fort Hill Trail. It is a mile walking loop along Nauset Marsh. We enjoyed pizza from The Red Barn and goodies from Cottage Street Bakery. Next time my family plans to enjoy Thanksgiving on the Cape, I will definitely hope to rent this house.

This beautiful and clean house is very well appointed with everything you could wish for- fire pit, gas fireplace, ping pong table, very comfortable beds and furniture, laundry, lots of room, big equipped kitchen, outdoor seating…I could go on and on. Awesome location on a quiet road with everything you need in proximity (beaches, supermarket, great bird store, restaurants) and just a couple blocks to main road for visits to other towns on the Cape. The hosts have thoughtfully made this a welcoming home away from home and we look forward to returning. We enjoyed seeing the Cape in the fall!

The house was perfect for my family of 7. Beautiful home! Super clean. Very comfortable! All the immensities. Sat by the fire pit outdoors one night. Enjoyed the indoor fireplace as well. So close to everything! Host was super kind and very responsive! One of the best VRBO stats I’ve ever had!! Amazing!!

We had a great time at this property! The location was wonderful- it was close to beautiful beaches on both the warmer bay side and cooler ocean side of the Cape, and conveniently close to restaurants and stores in town.
The house itself surpassed our expectations. It was well-decorated, and the amenities and household items were wonderful! We had absolutely everything we needed, and we could tell a lot of thought had gone into making things convenient and easy for guests. The outdoor areas were also great, especially the fire pit and the swing under the deck for little kids. Landscaping was beautiful, and it was so peaceful to enjoy morning coffee on the rocking chair on the porch. The basement is also comfortable and provided a good recreation option for people who wanted to stay up late without disturbing others. Excellent spot to stay with a family of mixed ages, from kids to grandparents.
Carol was super helpful and responsive, and checkin/checkout was easy.

The house was stunning from the inside out ! Plenty of room for parking the multiple cars we had, beautiful outdoor area with plenty of seating to accommodate our big group, and gorgeous clean rooms inside with all the amenities you could ever need. Myself, along with all of our guests, didn’t want to ever leave ! Carol was so wonderful to accommodate us in every way possible. I will definitely be booking again next year (and the year after too) :)

We loved this house! It feels newly renovated and immaculately clean. The high ceilings in the living room make it lovely to spend time there. The ping pong table and the outdoor fire pit are fun! Eastham is a great Cape location, with lovely beaches and close to lots of great stuff. This house is perfectly located to take advantage of the towns of Orleans and Chatham too. A perfect Cape vacation!

My family had a very relaxing stay at this property. They had all the supplies we need it for an enjoyable cape experience. The property was cleaned and clearly well maintained. Plenty of activities for kids of all ages, great grill and nice fire pit. Planning to return next summer

5 stars all around
Location, property, communication, and house itself all exceeded expectations. Our group had a great time - took advantage of the backyard, the deck area, the game room, all of it - not to mention being so close to the beach! Would absolutely stay here again (and hope to do so in the future!)

Cape Cod Retreat
The property and property owners were amazing! It felt like home: was extremely clean; had every essential that could be needed, along with many personal touches; the yard was very private and beautiful; and there was plenty of room for 4 adults and 4 teens! Additionally, we were literally a walk to the Cape Cod rail trail and 5 minutes from beaches and anywhere else we might have wanted to go. I would rate this 5+ stars....we have so much gratitude towards Carol and Charlie for sharing their beautiful Cape Cod retreat with vacation renters.

Wonderful stay at this beautiful property
I've stayed in a lot of places (mostly through Airbnb) and this place was no doubt one of the best. From the start, everything was so clear and so easy. Carol kept in close touch, always making herself available and quickly responding when I had a question or two. The place was perfect for my family to gather and cook for Thanksgiving week. It was very clean, very comfortable with an excellent layout so that whoever was cooking could still be a part of things if we were sitting at the dining room table or on the couch in the living room. The kitchen was perfect, with everything we could possibly need. The beds were comfortable with really nice linens. On top of all of that, we thoroughly enjoyed the gas fireplace and the ping pong table in the lower level. Everything was so great. Thank you to Carol & Charlie and I hope to be able to come back to your beautiful home sometime in the future.

Quaint house in quiet neighborhood.
Communication with owner was amazing. We experience an issue and owner was contacted immediately. Owner responded immediately and personally made trip to remedy the issue. Owners are very friendly. House sleeps 8 very comfortably and has a nice rec room in basement. Great for large families.

Perfect stay for family Cape vacation!
Lovely house with big bedrooms, meticulously clean, great outdoor shower and everything you need (no need to go buy a can opener)! On a quiet residential street on the border of Orleans and Eastham. Perfect spot for young kids as it’s set back from the road in a quiet neighborhood with fenced yard. Wonderful stay and the owners couldn’t be kinder!

Perfect!
This property was exactly as described, and has everything you need for a "home" experience. Carol was so helpful when needed, and the check in and check out was very convenient. The location was much better than I had anticipated ~ I had thought it might be hard to get to places all over the cape, but this location made it quite easy. There was a grocery store very close too. It really was perfect for two families to use, and we all loved the ping pong table!

A Perfect House
Carol and Charlie's house was beautiful, comfortable and close to all manner of attractions--national seashore, bay beaches, fresh water ponds and plenty of dining and entertainment options in nearby Orleans and Wellfleet. We couldn't have asked for more, and we hope to return soon. Highly recommended!

Perfect beach getaway
Carol's home was the perfect Cape Cod experience. The house is very large, updated, and spotlessly clean! I came with a group of co-workers from the Boston area and we had a blast. Unfortunately it rained during our stay, but we were able to occupy ourselves indoors with games and were just a short drive from restaurants, grocery stores, and the beach when it finally cleared up. I would definitely recommend this home and would stay here again. Keep in mind to bring everything you need (condiments, coffee, garbage bags, paper towels, etc.)

Bright, Updated, Perfect Home for Family Getaway
Our family has been coming to Cape Expectations--our home away from home--since 2008, and we could not be happier! The open concept makes family time feel natural and easy. There are four comfortable bedrooms and a huge outdoor shower! The open kitchen is stocked well past our expectations, always spotless, and so fun to cook in. The private lot and large back deck make for a perfect place to enjoy our morning coffee or stargaze at night.
Here are some of the highlights:
-The sunny, open floor plan is so inviting and perfect for gatherings of family/friends
-Every year there is something new or updated in the home!
-Close to bay and ocean beaches, as well as the Cape Cod Rail Trail
-Owners are easy to reach and very communicative, and provide a binder of information about local restaurants and things to do--very helpful if you are new in the area.
We look forward our Cape Expectations visits every year and we are never disappointed! Over the years we've rented with both family and friends, and all have had wonderful things to say. We can't wait til next year!

Great Location - Beautiful Updated Well Equipped Home - We will RETURN!
What can I say, this home (Cape Expectations) Exceeded our Cape Expectations! Working with Carol was effortless. From the moment we traveled the long PRIVATE driveway, we knew we made the right choice.
The house appears large in the photos but, in real like... even larger.
All rooms are large and comfortable. The furniture was like new (probably was) and comfortable beds. CLEAN CLEAN!
Large very private deck. We loved the extra room in the Sunny walk out basement. It's a great room with TV, sofas and ping pong. We spent many of our evenings in this room with family playing games/ping pong.
Sunrises on Coast Guard Beach and Sunsets on First Encounter Beach. A great place for family or just recharging your batteries. Thank you Carol. We will be back!
