This Eastham house was a wonderful home-base for our three-generation family vacation. We enjoyed eating inside or outside. The kids loved playing in the yard. We were close enough to the very popular Nauset Light Beach (which has a small parking lot), that we could easily go over for just an hour or two at the start or end of the day. The basement is very well stocked with beach chairs, sand toys, yard games, boogie boards, bicycles and more - they are well organized and well maintained. So, while you will have to pack your own sheets and towels, you will not need to pack lots of beach gear. And there were also board games and puzzles, which was much appreciated on rainy days.
