This cottage in the woods offers privacy and serenity in a natural setting, while still near all the fun Cape Cod has to offer. This home sleeps 4 most comfortably. The main level offers sleeping accommodations with a queen bed or full size futon, a full bath with a stand up shower, kitchen, living area and slider to the deck. You could enjoy your entire stay on one level. The downstairs offers a large bedroom with a ceiling fan with accommodations for 2 and a large full bath with a tub. Washer and dryer on lower level. The stairs going down are tight and may not be suitable for young children as they are difficult to gate off. Outside shower (hot/cold) helps clean up after a day at the beach. New outdoor landscaping upgrades this season. Bring a basketball and other lawn games - an elementary school is right next door offering fields, courts and a playground. WIFI offers the ability to stay connected if you like. Mid week rentals and long week ends may be considered. We have had the property treated with an organic pest control. You should find that flying bugs such as mosquitoes are drastically reduced in the yard, though it is impossible to eradicate them completely. There should be no ticks! This house is registered with the Town of Eastham as a rental property and complies with all town rules and regulations. This home is also connected to the municipal water supply. This home is NOT allergen free - owners have pets. Recent updates include outdoor landscaping (still a woodsy, natural setting!), new outdoor furniture and picnic table, new and additional lighting and other fixtures. Off season trash disposal is at your responsibility. The Town has a transfer station where all garbage and recyclables are collected. There is a $10 fee to enter, payable to the onsite attendant. Summer rentals will have trash and recycling pickup. The road the residence is on, as well as the intersecting streets, are private dirt roads. These streets are not maintained by the town of Eastham and do not have street lights. Though they are privately maintained by the homeowners, during severe rain storms, wind storms/hurricanes, and/or snow storms, the streets may become partially or totally impassible, especially for those without 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicles. For this reason, we strongly recommend that those renting during the winter months in particular use 4-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicles. Please drive slowly! Beach Stickers: Eastham Town Beaches (bay side) can be accessed with a weekly sticker (ask for further information) or by a daily pay as you go fee. Town stickers do not provide access to National Seashore beaches (ocean side). National Seashore beaches are pay as you go only, unless you have a national parks membership. Beach stickers are not required in the evening. Bayside sunsets are beautiful! Rental tax in effect as of July 1, 2019. Drive way accommodates 3 cars. All guests must sleep in the house. Campers, pop ups, and tents are not permitted for sleeping for additional guests.
