This spotless two-bedroom apartment is the perfect place to call home while on Cape Cod. Centrally located in beautiful Eastham, directly on Minister’s Pond, the Lotus is within walking distance to the Salt Pond Museum and Visitor Center and hiking trails. Canoe, kayak, or bike – We have everything here!
Look for the Guest Parking sign and the path to the entrance on the LEFT side of the house. The property is large and the Cape has few street lights so it takes a little more effort if arriving after dark. Let us know your arrival time ahead of time and we can make it easier for you.
Centrally located in a quiet neighborhood on the oceanside. So close to everything that it is no wonder our guests rave about our location. We are the best place to call “home” while visiting the Cape.
The backyard is very large and has several flower cutting gardens but is still considered “shared” space even though you may never see anyone else. The dock is shared space if anyone else happens to be around as well.
After enjoying your day at the beach, beachcombing, bike riding, and exploring the Cape come walk down the dock and sit in an Adirondack chair and watch the birds as they swoop over the pond looking for nibbles. Feed the ducks from the dock or watch the geese swim by. Launch the canoe or the kayak we provide to take a tour around the pond and see what wildlife you can spot or if you can catch any fish. Many red tail hawks live here. Watch for turtle heads popping up through the smooth surface of the pond. Wild turkeys often graze through the yard in the mornings as you sit sipping your gourmet coffee on your private porch overlooking the pond.
How about lighting a fire in your private fire pit with the wood we provide? Have a gourmet s’mores party or just enjoy each other’s company by the fire. Take a long, luxurious bath and try some of the spa amenities provided then curl up in a Lotus robe and sprawl out on the comfortable king bed that overlooks the pond and has a view that is magnificent. The second bedroom is extra-large and holds a queen bed and another single bed with a trundle bed underneath. All the beds have high quality sheets, duvets, duvet covers, and all-season comforters.
The full bath has a tub, shower, and shower bar and there is a large outside shower too. There are fluffy Turkish bath towels provided and beach towels as well. The tv is a Roku so you can stream your Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, or other programs with ease. A washer and dryer is in the apartment too. The private patio houses a new grill and outdoor kitchen area, outdoor dining table, chairs, umbrella, and comfortable and stylish patio lounge furniture. Shared space would be our private dock on the pond if anyone else happens to be around. There is another cottage on the other side of the property (behind a privacy fence) that also has access to the dock. It is our only shared space.

I'll begin by saying this was such a relaxing and pleasant experience for us! Having run our own rental property, we can be picky. This property meets so many expectations and hopes. The owner has clearly spent time considering renters' needs, and what is provided — particularly in the bathroom — is amazing, leading to pampered feel. We cozied up with the soft blankets and "fireplace", and thoroughly enjoyed the calming decor. Though we were there in winter, we imagine that the large deck and the property's proximity to so much summer fun would be wonderful.
The Breeze is a WONDERFUL place that has everything you will need and want!! It is a beautiful waterfront property close to many great experiences!! The hosts make it seamless, comfortable, yet there if you need them! We are planning on making this a yearly getaway!! Thank you for all you do!!
The property of this rental is so charming! Walkable to Arnold's and a bike rental shop. Great patio to wake up and have coffee :) Perfect size for the three of us girls for a weekend getaway. Easy check in/out. Thank you!
Book this place now! The house is exactly as pictured and was very clean. The location was ideal for our family as the beach was a 5 minute stroll down at the end of the dead-end street. There was plenty of room for 8 people, especially with the dining table in the screened-in porch and the table and chairs outside on the patio. These outside spaces greatly expand the living space, and the hammock and badminton net were a bonus. Other points include wifi was strong, kitchen well outfitted and beds were comfortable. Tara made herself completely available, and check in and out was easy. We would book the same house again!
This Airbnb was wonderful! Tara provided little snacks and gifts for us, such as a gift bag with cookies and make-up remover wipes in the bathrooms. She was great at communication and let us know ahead of time about any issues that might arise. We also received a virtual packet beforehand with information on check-in, attractions, etc. that was very self explanatory and helpful. The home was spacious and extremely comfortable. I highly recommend Tara's Airbnb for your trip to the Cape!
We had a wonderful visit! All members of our party were working from home for one of the days of our stay, and the wifi was reliable and fast throughout. We had all of the kitchen appliances and amenities necessary for a pleasant visit. The outdoor deck was a particularly nice area to sit at and work, relax, and eat.
Tara's cottage is the perfect place for a cape cod getaway. It's about a 4 minute walk from a small but awesome quiet beach. Watching the sunset on the beach was probably my favorite part. The cottage itself is the perfect size for a smaller group. The backyard has a volleyball net, lots of seating areas, an outdoor shower, and even a hammock to lay on. The location is 10/10.. a 5 minute drive from Eastham's "hole in one" coffee & bakery! P-town is about 30 minutes from the cottage. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for my weekend getaway, Tara is awesome!
The house is cute and just as pictured. Clean, cozy, and the view idyllic. It's a close drive to the beach or into town for dinner or shopping. Or you can just sit on one of the many chairs in the back with a glass of wine and stare at the pond (with your dog) like I did! Tara was communicative and friendly, offering me a tour and letting me know where everything was. If you don't see something you need, don't worry, she can get it for you. Will def stay here again!
Adorable house only minutes away from Nauset Lighthouse and Cape Cod National Seashore. Tara's guide book was incredible! She listed everything you could possibly need. I also loved all the little extras, like backed homemade cookies and complimentary spa face masks.
Wow. Such a beautiful stay at the Lieutenant's Lodge. This island is something special. We loved feeling all the history in this house. It's a perfect getaway. We were very comfortable and really enjoyed the atmosphere. We hope to return for sure. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home.
