Great vacation

We had a perfect week in Eastham. Cottage was located near everything we wanted to do. House is right on the rail trail and we rode our bikes on it every day. The house had everything we needed for our stay. We are hoping to come back next summer!

Quiet getaway

This is a great place for 1-3 people who want to swim, watch birds, and read on a deck. I relax as soon as I pull in.

Sweet and comfortable cottage in a central location

We spent a delightful 10 days here, overlooking the pond and riding bikes everywhere along the Cape Cod Rail Trail which is literally next door. Kitchen was well-equipped, TV good, new AC units did the job, and drawer/closet space generous. The hosts responded quickly to fix a problem with the new Weber grill which then worked great. Be aware of no dishwasher and BYO linens & towels (we rented from The Furies who responded immediately).

Easy and comfortable

We had a lovely stay in this charming cottage overlooking Depot Pond. We were close to the bay and the ocean and it was easy to get in and out to Route 6. Best was being right next to the cape cod rail trail for bike rides. The house is well equipped and the indoor and outdoor furniture is comfortable. The air conditioning is quiet and effective. Would be happy to return.

A wonderful return visit

We were fortunate to stay in this clean, updated, and well-equipped home for a second summer in a row. It’s hard to beat the proximity to multiple ponds, the bike bath, and the National Seashore beaches. Perfect getaway for our family of 4!

A quiet home base

This clean and well-equipped cottage was perfect for me as a solo renter. It's close to all the things I enjoy and provided me a lovely home base. I'm a swimmer, so staying home on the deck and swimming regularly in the pond was idyllic.

Cape Escape

Just the right size for a couple. Very clean and comfortable. The air conditioning was a plus..nice views of Depot Pond from the ample deck. Best of all, it was only a few yards from the bike trail. There was also a good market right up the street. We really enjoyed being there.

Beautiful pond view cottage

We loved this cottage. It was bright, clean, and comfortable and had everything we expected. We adored the location on the edge of Depot Pond and with easy access to First Encounter beach, the bike path, and the Visitor Center. The deck was well equipped with a nice table and umbrella and comfortable outdoor furniture and was a peaceful place to spend time.

We enjoyed our week at 320 Samoset. The home was immaculately clean upon arrival, the kitchen well-appointed, and the location a perfect “home base” for all our Cape favorites, plus a few new ones along the bike trail!

Cape Cod gem

This house was perfect for a family of 4 that loves the Cape Cod pond life! The home was very clean upon our arrival, updated and with a charming decor (true to photos). Check-in was as easy as it gets, directions were so clear and had no issues so we didn’t have a single question the entire week! Loved the deck overlooking the pond and the convenient location - steps to the Rail Trail, easy access to bike/kayak rental, fishing, markets and restaurants, and both bay and seashore beaches. It was a piece of paradise for us and we can’t wait to return!
