Embrace the beauty of fall at the Lotus on Minister’s Pond, where you can unwind after a day of beachcombing and exploring the Cape. Enjoy serene moments on the dock, watching birds while surrounded by stunning autumn colors. Launch a kayak, ride an e-bike or indulge in cozy evenings by your private fire pit, making gourmet s'mores under the stars. With a luxurious king bed, hot tub, and fireplaces, you'll find the perfect retreat to relax and soak in the tranquil pond views this fall.

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.
As autumn paints the Cape with vibrant colors, immerse yourself in the charm of fall at our serene vacation rental. After a day of beachcombing, exploring charming local shops, and bike riding on our electric bikes, unwind with a leisurely stroll down the dock. Settle into an Adirondack chair, wrapped in a cozy blanket, and watch as flocks of birds dance above the pond, searching for their next meal. Feed the ducks or admire the geese gliding gracefully by, creating a picturesque autumn scene.
Take advantage of the crisp fall air by launching the canoes or kayaks we provide for a peaceful tour around the pond. Keep your eyes peeled for red-tailed hawks soaring overhead, turtles peeking through the pond's smooth surface, and wild turkeys roaming through the yard as you sip your morning coffee on your private porch.
As the sun sets and the air cools, light a fire in your private fire pit with the wood we provide. Enjoy a gourmet s'mores party or simply bask in the warmth of the fire while sharing stories under the stars. Afterward, indulge in the hot tub, or treat yourself to a long, luxurious bath with our spa amenities. Slip into a plush Lotus robe and relax on the comfortable king bed, where the magnificent pond view will leave you breathless.
The spacious second bedroom features a queen bed and a loft bed, accommodating extra guests or family members, all outfitted with the finest linens for a restful night’s sleep. The full bath includes a tub, shower, and convenient outdoor shower for rinsing off after your fall adventures in the crisp autumn weather.
For entertainment, the Roku TV allows easy streaming of your favorite shows, bring your favorite albums or listen to a small selection of ours on the retro record player. A washer and dryer in the apartment add to your comfort.
The private patio features a new grill and outdoor kitchen area, perfect for hosting a harvest feast or enjoying outdoor dining with the stunning pond as your backdrop. Relax on the swinging porch bed or in the egg chair, ideal for afternoon naps or reading while soaking in the beautiful fall scenery.
Shared amenities are just the private dock down on the pond, offering a tranquil spot to unwind. While the property includes another cottage behind a privacy fence on the other side of the property, our shared space is minimal, ensuring your retreat remains peaceful and private.

We understand that things happen and plans may change so we always recommend purchasing travel insurance for your vacation.
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.
