Very central to everything. Close to Cape Cod Rail Trail (bike trail), Arnolds, Coast Guard and Nauset Light beach, Salt Pond Visitors Center, Eastham Windmill, and First Encounter beach.

Brought to you by the Heart of Cape Cod, The Pond House is a peaceful waterfront retreat overlooking Minister’s Pond — a place where every season feels like a getaway. Whether you’re savoring sun washed summer mornings on the sunporch, watching vibrant fall foliage reflect off the water, enjoying crisp winter walks along quiet trails, or welcoming spring’s first warmth with coffee on the deck, this classic Cape Cod home offers comfort, calm, and connection to nature.

Step outside and breathe in the fresh air as you dine alfresco on the spacious deck, fire up the gas grill for a cookout, or gather around the fire pit beneath a sky full of stars. Kayak or canoe from the shore, stroll around the pond’s edge, or simply relax with the rhythmic sounds of water and wind as your soundtrack. Inside, the warm glow of the gas fireplace and the soft comfort of thoughtfully chosen furnishings create an inviting setting for mornings and evenings alike.

Enjoy slow, sunlit mornings in the bright sunporch — a perfect perch for coffee as the pond shimmers beyond. The retro style kitchen banquet and dining area offer generous space for shared meals, hearty feasts, or lingering conversations. A private office/library provides a quiet nook for reading, journaling, or remote work, while the lively game room adds a playful touch to your stay.

When it’s time to rest, retreat to the master suite with its private balcony overlooking the water. Sink into the oversized jacuzzi tub, then drift into sleep as pond breezes whisper across the glass. With three bedrooms and thoughtful touches throughout, this home is ideal for families, couples, or friends seeking a memorable Cape Cod stay.

We understand that life happens and plans can change, so we strongly encourage purchasing travel insurance for peace of mind during your Cape Cod stay.
For Airbnb: We set only two charges — a fair nightly rate and a cleaning fee based on what our professional team charges to reset the home. Airbnb adds its own platform service fee and collects local/state taxes separately. These are not controlled or retained by us.
