About this house rental
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.

Great house and location - house was well stocked and owner was very responsive

We really enjoyed our location and beautiful neighborhood. It is close to many restaurants and beaches. The kids enjoyed Wiley Park and the adults enjoyed the National Seashore and lobster rolls.

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.

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.

We had an amazing time at this property. Our property manager was great. The private beach at the end of the street was a perfect destination for our kids and nephew’s. Location was super convenient to everything. House was a perfect setup for our needs and provided everything anyone would need.

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

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 :)

Gail was amazing and the house was beautiful! Perfect girls weekend. I would absolutely stay here again. Great for large families and the beach was a very short walk down the street.
4.0
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.
8.0
Nice roomy house, close to the water, and very accommodating owner.

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.

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.

Cape Cod Memorial Day
Gail was a pleasure to work with and responded fast to my messages. The property is located on a small street that ends with a beautiful river and a small pier. Stop and shop is less than 10 minutes away, as well as a few bike rentals and a miniature golf. We are looking forward to come back.

Wedding weekend
We needed a place to stay for the weekend for a wedding my family and I were attending and we couldn’t be happier with this location. It was big enough for us to have our own space and get together when we wanted. We enjoyed and loved our time here and would definitely book in the future. Gail, the owner, was absolutely amazing as well! 😊

It was great!
We had my family(4), my sister's family(3 including baby) and my Dad with us and because it is two separate units, the layout worked out perfectly. The backyard is super nice with a great deck which we spent a lot of time on. The main house was much larger than expected. The smaller unit was slightly smaller than expected, but it still met our needs. That unit could use some minor updates and it would be perfect (like more three prong outlets). The location is awesome and close to lots of beaches, restaurants and shops. The dock nearby is nice for morning strolls. We visited Orleans, Chatham, Provincetown, Dennisport all while staying there because everything is 20 mins away at most. Highly recommend for larger parties who may have multiple families or groups staying together. We had a wonderful time and we were able to truly relax, which after the past year was very much needed.

Perfect way to start the summer
Great property - exactly as described. Incredibly convenient to everything - beach, dock, restaurants, shopping, etc. Perfect for sharing with two families, or in our case, giving the kids some room to be "independent". The owner was wonderful and very accommodating. We highly recommend.

Relaxing, Serene Weekend on the Cape
From reserving to check out, Gail was the epitome of a lovely host. Flexible, warm & welcoming. The house was clean and felt like home, nestled on a private street. A 1 minute stroll and you can sit by the water on the bay and watch the animals play. 100% would come back.

Awesome place to stay!
The check in process was great and Gail was prompt getting back to us with any questions while we were there. The location of the property is perfect just a few min walk but you still could hear and feel the ocean.

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!

Nice clean quiet location
good time, clean home, well stocked house. Owner had great communication throughout. Although pictures say it, just know that beach is not on property, Its a short walk down road. We didn't discover till after. The 2 homes don't connect inside either.

Comfortable home and great location
We very much enjoyed our two weeks at Cedarcrest. Gail was responsive and attentive to our questions. The kitchen was well-stocked. The beach/dock at the cove was a nice bonus, and the ample backyard deck great for relaxed dining.

Family Vacay
The house is not in a touristy area which was great! Easy access to beaches, grocery/liquor stores and restaurants! The layout was perfect my family. The separate yet connected apartment was great for my mother. She could be away from the kids staying up late. The kitchen had everything we needed! Highly recommend the house. Very easy to communicate with Gail!

Fantastic Home for a Family
The property was a fantastic way to spend a week with our immediate family. The “two” space allowed us to be together but relax in separate spaces, especially with small children. Highly recommend.

perfect for 2 families
Property was very clean and was the perfect setup for our family and friends. Our friends’ family took the smaller unit as they are a smaller family but the outside deck was where we all spent most of our time.
Located on a quite private road the kids enjoyed jumping off the dock in the cove at the end of the street. Very quite, safe street provided a nice place for kids to ride their bikes.
Conveniently located to beaches and to some great spots to eat. We certainly lucked out with the weather and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Would highly recommend and rent from Gail again.

Great location, great place, great accomodations!
It was our first family trip to Cape Cod. Included my husband, two kids under 6, my parents and my aunt. The accommodations were perfect, plenty of space to spread out. The deck was wonderful. Location is perfect, close to Orleans center, and close to the National Sea Shores.

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.

Amazing vacation
Everything about the house was perfect. It’s such a beautiful spot, plenty of room to gather together or have our own space. The host, Gail, went above and beyond to communicate, accommodate and offer information and answers to our questions. The private dock and beach area is also an incredible bonus! A wonderful vacation was enjoyed by our whole family!
