Charming Sun Filled Eastham Cottage at Fort Hill

We loved the location because there was easy access to both the upper and lower Cape. The kitchen had all the tools and pans we needed to cook some simple suppers, and the bed is very very comfortable.

We had a great week staying at the cottage. The setup and proximity to the Outer Cape is perfect for a weekend or full week stay. Maren was easily accessible and communicative and let us check in well before the time listed. Would stay here again!

This house is great for relaxing We had a wonderful visit. We haven't been so at ease in years. We especially loved the proximity to Fort Hill. Most days, gray or sunny, we took our chairs and books and went to the upper parking lot where we sat and read and overlooked the beautiful ocean vista. And, the kitchen is so well stocked with utensils and appliances. We ate in often, although I did have to run down some fresh oysters on the half shell a few times. Now to the idiosyncrasies. The house is meagerly lit with low wattage bulbs. We couldn't read at night. It was too dark. Also, some instructions should be left for operating things. The heat/AC box was a bit of a challenge. The fact that the television was a ROKU set required I do some google searching to learn how to turn it on when the remote wouldn't and how to navigate the services. We did discover a 24/7 MIDSOMER MURDERS channel which we enjoyed in the lowly lit evenings. And finally, it is certainly the only place we have ever been that has a full-length glass door to the outside in the bathroom. We taped newspapers over it for some privacy. I recommend sport sections. We chose not to be troubled by these things, but we did get a laugh or too. These are things that might trouble some people more. Thanks, Maren, for our two weeks in your lovely cottage.

The cottage was clean and artistically attractive. However, there were problems. There were no clothes closets on the premises, only a few hooks on back of doors. There was a privacy issue as there were large windows and little window coverings. The bathroom had a glass door outside the shower area that had no covering. The most disturbing problem was an insect issue. We killed several what appeared to be cockroaches during our week’s stay. Not a comfortable fit for senior travelers.
