Town Cove Oyster House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This coastal Eastham home is full of history as it was originally an oyster processing plant through the 1930s and afterward, a year-round residence for a well-known Eastham native. Those who are sentimental and love the outdoors will thrive at this charming retreat. Right outside the home, a mooring is available for boat parking, and the fishing, crabbing, and clamming opportunities are stellar. The simplicity and quiet beauty of Orleans Cove can be enjoyed from the outdoor swing, on the Adirondack chairs - gathered around the firepit, or while gliding across the water in the kayak.

Nearby, explore Nauset Beach, Cape Cod National Seashore Salt Pond Visitor Center, Nauset Lighthouse, Jonathan Young Windmill Park, and Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary.

Inside, nautical charm, warm wood finishes, and old-school touches make this home what it truly is. The sunny living room is adorned with ample, soft seating, a large TV, and a wood stove. The well-equipped kitchen provides a pleasant space to cook amongst the updated appliances. From here, effortlessly walk into the sunroom where the water views are dazzling, a wine fridge keeps your beverages cool, and late-night chats are inevitable.

The bedrooms are bright, airy, and spacious. Rest assured that no matter the temperature outside, you will be kept cool inside with the home's central air-conditioning. A private washer/dryer rounds out the home's interior perks.

Head back outside as evening nears and fire up the gas grill. Take one last bike ride around the neighborhood before gathering on the deck for stunning sunset views. A private outdoor shower is also available for your use.

Quaint house on the water
The house was quaint and clean. The tv didn’t have a lot of channels to watch. The three bedrooms are upstairs were cute but no bath room available. You have to go downstairs to go. In the middle of the night we found that hard. Overall it was a nice place.

A truly beautiful and one of a kind spot on the cape.
A truly beautiful and one of a kind spot on the cape. A nature lover’s paradise. The rental agency and owners were extremely kind and attentive. When we arrived there was a thoughtful note and bottle of wine from the owners. The location and views are priceless. Even on a rainy day you can sit outside on the deck and watch the seals swim by and all the beautiful shore birds. The house is in walking distance to restaurants, shops and all conveniences. There are many added bonuses that set this rental apart from the rest which include kayaks and being dog friendly. We had such a wonderful vacation and cannot wait to come back. Thank you for sharing your special place with us.

Eastham visit
Online pictures are deceiving. Bathrooms are downstairs. Makes it more difficult for older people who have to get up in the night. Overall the house was nice. The kitchen is very small. One person working at a time. We would have liked some instructions on how to use the tv. The Wi-Fi worked very well and there were chargers all over which was greatly appreciated.
