About this property

Sunny, spacious home, near beaches, private backyard/deck/firepit, family fave!

Welcome to North Eastham and your beach home away from home. Relax and enjoy our lovely 3 BR 2 BA bright and sun-filled comfortable home, one mile from Cape Cod Bay, 2 miles to the ocean and an easy walk to shops, cafes and the best donuts and coffee around.

Good rest is important for vacations! That's why we take pride in offering newer and comfy mattresses in all bedrooms. The king suite has a Serta ultra-high end foam mattress. You'll also find bright and airy living spaces everywhere, plus newer ACs in each bedroom. Come home to a well-stocked kitchen and sparkling clean everything, in a quiet, residential neighborhood.

Our1/2 acre property features a big outside shower, firepit with Adirondack style chairs, sunny deck, two-person hammock, and a large, pretty and private fenced-in yard to complete your relaxing Cape vacation.

Stepping back inside, our post and beam construction shows off a 20 foot vaulted ceiling in the living area with skylights to round out the classic, updated charm of the Barking Urchin Guest House.

You're one easy mile to Campground or Thumpertown beaches on the Bay, featuring miles of white sand flats at low tide and warm Bay waters. Or, 2 miles to ocean waves at Nauset Light and Coast Guard beaches. This heavenly part of the Cape has so much to offer. At a moment's notice you can drive out to the Bay or the Ocean, or both, and decide where to plant your blanket for the day.

Cooking in? Our full-sized kitchen and appliances also feature essential and extra spices and supplies, plus all the cookware you may need and a Bosch dishwasher to make clean-up hassle free.

All in a quiet family neighborhood, where you can walk and bike in the street with not a car in sight.

Gather around the firepit for lazy summer evenings with cool beverages and maybe some oysters, lobsters or steaks. Or, enjoy our big, roomy enclosed and private outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach while looking up into that clear blue sky. Or, grab coffee out on the deck in the morning, listening to the birds and sea breezes.

Access to the famous Cape Cod Rail Trail is only half a mile away, where you can go biking, strolling or running. Family entertainment? After the beach, grab the fam or friends and head out to one of the world's last remaining drive-in movie theaters in Wellfleet. All within minutes of the Barking Urchin.

You can also make use of our full sized Weber kettle charcoal grill and beach chairs and sand toys as available. While we love them, we're afraid that we cannot accommodate any pets, please.

Come home to the Barking Urchin in Eastham, for your memorable Cape Cod beach vacation!

Awesome House and Perfect Location
We had a great time at the house and in the area. It was a perfect location for our son's weddding. The interior of the house reminded us of a cabin in Gatlinburg. The yard was was beautiful and we enjoyed several nights by the fire pit. We highly recommend this house and will rent it again on our next trip to the Cape.

Great location and property
Clean, well-cared for property in a great Eastham location. The hosts are highly responsive. Recommend it and would stay again. One thing to note: the 3rd bedroom is a loft, not private and has a skylight. But it has its own bathroom. Bring eye masks if you’re sensitive to morning light.

About the host

Hosted by Donna or Steve Yonchak

Host profile image
We have owned the Barking Urchin since 2003, and use the house ourselves whenever we can, in the Fall and Spring. We love how pretty and unspoiled Eastham still is, how quiet our street and neighborhood are, and our easy walks to Campground or Thumpertown beaches (and the Hole in One) in the mornings! We keep our home to the highest standards that we would expect for a Cape family vacation home, and what we would expect for ourselves.

Why they chose this property

After three years of house hunting at the Cape, we were lucky to find the right one! Even with the easy proximity to Route 6, the property is ultimately quiet and peaceful, the best of access and privacy.

What makes this property unique

Easy access to the Bay (1 mile) while still being in a quiet residential neighborhood. Sunny, well-equipped home and kitchen. Private fenced in yard. Comfortable rooms, newer mattresses. Updated kitchen, dishwasher. A/C units. HDTV and broadband internet, WiFi. Finished basement family room. Hammock. Firepit. Washer/dryer downstairs. All the amenities you need for your Cape home away from home.
