Island Bay Bungalow Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!' A blissful Cape Cod vacation awaits at this 3BR home on Eastham's Saltwater Town Cove. Bring your boat, kayak, or paddleboard for direct access to Nauset Inlet and the Outer Beach, or relax on the sunny dock for some of the Cape's best fishing. Newly remodeled with an open layout and beautiful new kitchen, your crew will love the indoor/outdoor living. The huge deck is the perfect spot for alfresco dinners, sunbathing, or simply enjoying the view. ABOUT THE HOUSE Two living rooms, an expansive deck, and three peaceful bedrooms offer plenty of indoor and outdoor space for six guests to relax and unwind on Saltwater Town Cove. Hardwood floors shine on the ground floor, where you'll find the open concept living, dining, and kitchen area, plus the three bedrooms. The living room offers ample seating on multiple couches and chairs, elegant ocean-themed artwork, and a beautiful area rug with a nautical sensibility. Natural light pours in through a row of skylights, and two AC units add comfort. Kick back and watch shows on the 54” flat-screen TV. The window-lined dining area seats eight, and the newly remodeled kitchen is a dream to cook in. Highlights include a double-door fridge, recessed lighting, tile floors, and dishwasher. Brew a fresh cup and sit down with the paper at a breakfast bar with four stools. Enjoy the ocean breeze on the expansive deck, the perfect spot to watch the sunrise over the water or to grill up savory bites. A dining table for six lets you accompany every meal with the picturesque view, and there's plenty more seating for naps in the sun and vacation reading. The lush green lawn rolls down to the waterline, where a dock awaits for your boat, kayak, or paddleboard. The downstairs living room is perfect for games or movie marathons. Sit down for an evening of card games at a round table for four, or catch a movie on the 45” TV. The room is also equipped with two queen sleeper sofas, a small fridge, and a microwave. Stunning cove views can be seen through big windows. Each of the three bedrooms comes with their own AC unit. The master bedroom features a king bed and a 39” TV, the second bedroom is a queen, and the third has two twin beds. The shared bathroom on the ground level has a peach color palette, intricate tile work, and a walk-in shower. The lower-level bathroom also boasts a walk-in shower. Extras at the property include driveway parking for three cars, laundry facilities, Wi-Fi, and an outdoor shower. THE LOCATION The spectacular National Seashore beaches begin 4 miles away, with the calmer bay waters lapping a half-mile closer.

Bright, modern and lovely! We loved waking up to the views of the Cove each morning! The house had plenty of room for family and the younger family members loved the downstairs level! I would definitely stay again!

The house was amazingly clean, and the location was perfect, not far from anything in all directions. The property is serene and you could spend all day at the house just relaxing. Well worth renting. Supplies at the house are a bit thin, but that did not detract from anything at all.

Gorgeous home, amazing views, fun porch overlooking the water. Lots of good critter watching (ducks, geese, bunnies). Nice outdoor shower. There are some things that need attention, such as very uncomfortable beds and just a few towels provided.
4.0
The house is perfect- everything you could hope for in terms of view, neighborhood and amenities. However in trying to resolve problems with the local managing agent such as overflowing garbage bin that was not picked up, burned out lamps…they were unresponsive and required contacting them several times over the course of many days.
This service is being paid for by owners and renters and it really was not up to par, causing me to knock the rating down from 5 stars to 4 stars.

We stay on Cape Cod every October, and absolutely loved this location, a peaceful spot that's an easy drive to both Orleans and Wellfleet. The house has direct frontage on a tidal inlet, which offers spectacular views. The house itself is another matter. The public spaces: living room, dining room and kitchen, were very nice, but the kitchen was poorly equipped. The minimum necessary pots & pans are available, while glassware is limited. While there was evidence of a drip coffee maker, (filters) none was available. They did have a Keurig. The bedrooms are a weak point. The "master" bedroom is a converted former living room and has no closet. The nearest hallway closet did not have a bar to hang clothes. Another bedroom had a small closet which might be difficult to use. On the main floor, the three bedrooms shared one bath that has been nicely updated. The home's second bath is on the lower level. The lower floor was perfect for teenagers. Sorry to say that the problematic aspects of the house offset for us the fantastic view that this house offers.

We stayed for a week at the end of
I stayed here with my family of 4 in Aug of 2022. The house is located on the end of a quiet private street right on Town Cove that has fantastic views of the water and a water access. The inside of the house is well appointed and seemingly newly renovated with beautiful kitchen and dining area that looks out at the cove, hang out room for family nights, a funky furnished downstairs with foosball, arcade game and more hangout space. The beds were all comfortable and all the spaces were very clean. And the large deck off the main floor is great space to take in views of cove as well. As for location on the cape, its proximity to Orealans ad Wellfleet made for many easy outings. It's not much further to Province town for trips there. We felt a bit spoiled with the luxuries of the house and easy access to all. My only mild complaint is making a left turn onto rt 6 can be a little intimidating as traffic flow there was constant and fast.

We really enjoyed our stay at Island Bay Bungalow. The location is terrific. Right on the water. Quiet. Beautiful daylight throughout the day. The home was spacious and had a good layout for our needs. The house was nice. Could use a bit of TLC here and there. The mattresses and some of the chairs are a bit uncomfortable, but that said I would stay there again. Sitting on the deck or taking a kayak out on the water is really magical. Thank you for having us.

This home is very clean and well appointed. In early June, it was very quiet allowing us to catch many peaceful sunrise. The location is within a short drive to anything you need including fresh morning pastry, groceries or the pharmacy. This was our second season here and will not be our last.

Great location and house, very comfortable and would certainly recommend. Only issue was check in. We received an email at 1:30 telling us the house was ready for arrival. Arrived at 3:30 and code would not work. Called owner who unsuccessfully tried to reset but was unable to do so. As a result we waited until 4:00 to gain access. A minor point, coffee pot is keurig one cup pods. Would have been fine if we knew ahead of time, but not knowing it required an extra trip to the market.

Very clean and renovated home. Very comfortable and spacious for 6 of us. View of the cove was remarkable and access to the water for kayaking/paddleboarding was super convenient. Only small point was that the house wasn't stocked up as much as we have been used to with previous rentals. Only a few garbage bags and one extra toilet paper roll was provided. Not enough dish detergent as well as a few packets of dishwasher packets. Other than that our time at this home was wonderful and one of our most memorable stays in Eastham.

Wonderful home, lovely view, fun day trips, helpful property managers, happy family! For families with younger children: the cove can be quite windy with strong currents. We brought connectable lounge floating water tubes with us, along with a climbing rope to attach to the dock, enabling us to safely enjoy being on the water all together in the afternoons. Dreamy!

Great location for a busy family. Easy to launch kayaks and go on trips out to Nauset beach. Recently updated / finished basement adds another bathroom and additional space for the kids.

Amazing House in Prime location
The headline: Beautiful house in great location fulfills perfect family vacation. We were further surprised to find the basement had been completely finished including a second full bathroom. The weather was perfect so we thoroughly enjoyed the bright open interior and coffee-with-a-view on the deck. Our critiques are small and did not affect the quality of our stay. The dishwasher would not work but the property manager quickly helped fix this. The coffee maker is a single serve so we brought our own (thanks previous reviewer) We were asked to keep guests to 6 max. This seems rather limiting for such a large house. The property is costly but it ticked all of the boxes for our perfect Cape Vacation. YOLO! Cheers!

Great deck looking out on the water and lots of comfortable relaxing places in the house. I hate to complain because overall a wonderful rental. My complaints are easily fixable if the owner wants to. We had 3 adults and 2 kids staying at the house and we couldn’t all take showers because the hot water would only last about 5 to 7 mins and then take so long to come back. I think the queen size bed is very uncomfortable and the King mattress while comfortable was sitting on an easily shakable frame when turning in the bed. I had read a prior review about the coffee maker so I brought my own. I so appreciated knowing that so I thought I would be as truthful as well. Overall the house is in a great spot and comfortable minus the couple of things that bothered us. The kitchen is wonderful and roomy - maybe a few more things like a wine cork and tools to clean the grill would be helpful. The rental was very clean and having the washer and dryer was a big plus!!!

Eastham COVID break
the house was as advertised; with nice views and accessibility to Cape Cod attractions. A used face mask on the floor on arrival earned an unacceptable housekeeping rating. Kitchenware could do with improvement. A single serve French Press or K-cup dispenser for coffee in a property advertised for 6 people needs to be remedied.

It was outstanding. 3 bedrooms, plenty of space. A newly finished basement with washer, dry and rec room. The deck and property were great - very dog friendly. The Turnkey people are also very helpful
