The Velvet Crab is located directly on a freshwater pond that is centrally located and close to everything the Cape has to offer. Hike around the Salt Pond Visitor’s Center, bike the Cape Cod Rail Trail, walk the National Seashore ocean beaches and catch the blaze of colors at sunset on the bayside. Everything is so close and within reach of the Velvet Crab.

great cape cod getaway
Laura Wood
Our family of 4 had a great week staying at the Velvet Crab. The house provided all we needed for a great week of rest and relaxation. They don’t skimp on anything, the beds were comfy, the linens and pillow were nice quality and the kitchen provided a little bit of everything. The Canoe and Kayak was a nice touch for my boys to keep busy. The outdoor shower is a must for our after beach day sand. I gave 5 stars because we were very happy but would add a couple minor things. I wish there were either more hooks to hang things for drying in the bathroom or outside. And since it was a dog friendly rental, the rug in the living room did have some reminisce of a previous dog (we didn’t have a dog) not a big deal to us but just a minor detail. . Over all a great experience. We’ve rented from Heart of Cape Cod in the past and every time has been top notch and we will always look there first before other sites. Their houses are always well maintained and well thought out for a carefree Cape Cod Vacation. Thanks for a great week and stay!

The velvet crab was a very nice home that we enjoyed ourselves in. The view of the water was amazing unfortunately the mosquitoes were pretty bad but it is a lake house after all. We loved it. Thanks for having us! We look forward to visiting sometime in the future.

I really love staying at the Velvet Crab. This was my third stay. Waking up to views of a nearby lake. Minutes from beaches. Dog friendly.
The the Heart of Cape Cod team provides all the amenities- WiFi and Roku. Fully equipped kitchen. Kayak on the lake. Outdoor grill. Dog crate on request. Even dog bowls and treats. Tara brought a blender right over when I requested one. Everything you need for a wonderful vacation.
My pup and I will definitely be coming back.
Description
The Velvet Crab is located directly on a freshwater pond that is centrally located and close to everything the Cape has to offer. Hike around the Salt Pond Visitor’s Center, bike the Cape Cod Rail Trail, walk the National Seashore ocean beaches and catch the blaze of colors at sunset on the bayside. Everything is so close and within reach of the Velvet Crab.
Notes
The property is very large so GPS down to the cottage is not reliable. Specific directions and instructions for arrival are given in the award-winning house manual and recommendations guide provided upon booking (and a provided again a few times thereafter).
Neighborhood
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.
Access
The cottage is located on the waterfront. You must read the directions in the guide provided or else you will go to the wrong place. Do not rely on GPS!!!
Space
Wake up refreshed and ready to take on the Cape while you sip your morning coffee from your deck which overlooks the pond. Watch the ducks swim by, or maybe take a morning dip in the water yourself. Not ready for a swim? An outdoor shower is an option for you as well.
Take the canoe out and fish or just check out the pond. Float on a raft out to the middle of the pond and just float – no agenda, just relax and float in the middle of a pond on Cape Cod. There is nothing better for the mind and soul.
Just steps away from Minister’s Pond, the Velvet Crab offers a serene respite from the world. A bright, open living space with a full kitchen and dining area overlooks the pond through oversized windows. This two-bedroom cottage has a Queen bed overlooking the water in the first bedroom and two single beds in the second bedroom. A full kitchen has everything you need, with a dining table with seating for 4. A streaming tv lets you watch all your favorite shows on streaming channels that you subscribe to, as well as free channels. In the evening, enjoy dinner on the deck cooked up on your grill, or visit one of many of our fantastic nearby restaurants. Come sit at the fire pit on the beach by the pond and listen to the frogs usher in the night.
The lower pond beach area (the landing and fire pit) is shared with another cottage located up the hill (The Twisted Porpoise). Both are Heart of Cape Cod properties and are private shared areas, not open to the public.
The Velvet Crab is the perfect place to create memories that will last a lifetime. We would love to share all that Cape Cod has to offer, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions you may have!
