🦀Waterfront at The Velvet Crab~Amazing Sunsets
I respect the autonomy of my guests and can easily be reached by facetime, email, text, carrier pigeon, smoke signal, or yodeling. Communication with guests is important to us. Please be sure you have app notifications turned on for your phone as this will be our means of communicating with you before, during, and after your stay. Our digital guidebooks contain directions, instructions, and access information. It is your responsibility to review this information prior to arrival.
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.
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!!!
Wake up to the gentle sounds of nature and sip your morning coffee on the deck, overlooking the shimmering waters of Minister’s Pond. Watch as ducks glide effortlessly across the surface, or start your day with a refreshing swim just steps from your door. Not quite ready for a dip? The outdoor shower is a summer delight, letting you rinse off under the open sky.
The pond is yours to explore—paddle out in the canoe for a bit of fishing, or simply float on a raft, soaking up the sun with no agenda beyond relaxation. Let the peaceful surroundings melt your worries away.
This charming two-bedroom cottage is the perfect summer retreat, offering a bright and airy living space with oversized windows that frame stunning pond views. The full kitchen has everything you need for home-cooked meals, while the dining area comfortably seats four. The main bedroom features a cozy Queen bed with a waterfront view, while the second bedroom offers two inviting twin beds—perfect for family or friends. Wind down in the living area with your favorite shows on the streaming TV, or bring along your furry friend (one dog, with a fee) to join in the fun!
As the sun sets, fire up the grill just off the deck or head to a nearby seafood shack for a taste of Cape Cod’s famous flavors. Then, gather around the fire pit on the pond’s private beach, where the evening soundtrack is the soothing chorus of frogs under the stars.
While the lower pond beach area—including the fire pit and landing—is shared with another cottage, it remains a private retreat exclusively for our guests.
Whether you’re reconnecting with loved ones or enjoying a solo escape, this cottage is your perfect home base for summer memories.
