Beautiful barn wood cathedral ceilings in the living area open to a fully equipped kitchen with composting and Britta filtered water! Newer mattresses and pillows on all the beds in bright naturally lite rooms. A spacious master bedroom suite is separate from two other bedrooms and bathroom, all have air conditioning. Each room has ample closet space and dressers for storage. With the linen and towel option, you aren't charged a large fee for a small group! This option allows you to rent at $12 per person, providing a face, bath, washcloth and beach towel or bring your own with no charge! Extras in the closet. We provide a moveable desk that can be set up in any space to create a private work area. Our sunny dining room has a sturdy table that seats 7 comfortably. The sunporch is a great space for a quiet read or enjoy a board game with the gang! The grape vine covered pergola is the perfect outdoor dining space! Meet friends for dinner after a full day or linger over a glass of wine and great conversation while grilling out (charcoal provided). Our spacious backyard is secluded with woods at the back, field on one side and grove of evergreens with a gated wood fence on the other. Great for early morning coffee with birdsong or an afternoon game of Bocce or frisbee! After a day on the beach use the outdoor shower, cold and hot water provided!
The Adirondack chairs and fire pit (wood provided) are a great way to sit back and talk thru the day's adventures. All this is located in a quiet residential area that is great for dog walking or strolling with the benefit of being on a main road for easy access to all spots on the Cape! Escape Away is cozy and relaxing with an atmosphere where guests can enjoy being with their family and friends while enjoying all the Cape has to offer!

Location, location, location!

The cottage was in a perfect location on the cape -- close to both 6A and 6 which made it easy to get around to other parts of the Cape. Breakwater Beach was 3 minutes away which was a great place to watch the amazing bayside sunsets. The cottage was clean and comfortable, and we loved the layout. The host was warm and welcoming and was very responsive to our needs.

Cape gateaway

We stayed over memorial day weekend and had a really great time. The house is clean and spacious. We really enjoyed the backyard, bbq, eating and reading outside and smores at night! It's a short drive from the beach (less than 5 min) which is very convenient. Karleen was easy to reach out for question we had during our stay and she made sure we had a great time! Will definitely be renting again for our next Cape Cod vacation!

Clean place, near CCRT - Bike Path & Breakwater beach

Nice place. We had 4 adults and a teenage stay for a girls weekend. Owners were very communicative. Place was tidy and as advertised. We loved that the Cape cod rail trail was 1/2 a mile away, could have rode or walked over to it but it had a great parking lot so we drove over instead. Breakwater beach a mile up the road and was wonderful (no parking permit required in off season). Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

The house is well furnished and decorated and the kitchen is well appointed. It is roomy for 4 people. Although we could not use the yard because of weather the picnic table .and fireplace certainly looked inviting. We had a restful and enjoyable 3 days.

Girl’s getaway

The house was perfect for our short winter getaway, close to Brewster favorites and not far from Dennis, Orleans and Chatham. Our host was very quick to respond to questions, usually within 5 minutes. Beds are comfy but a little softer than I’m used to. Kitchen is well equipped. Coffee maker is the drip kind, we brought along our own small keureg. There are cozy blankets in the living room. We were greeted with fresh flowers and pretty holiday decorations. We didn’t use the tv at all: played cards and games every evening and laughed together.
