About this property

Bright, spacious, private beach home. Big backyard, firepit, deck. 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 beaches, 2 miles to the ocean, and an easy walk to shops, cafes and the best donuts and coffee around.

    You'll also find bright and airy living spaces throughout, plus newer ACs in each bedroom and in the main living area. Come home to a well-stocked kitchen and sparkling clean everything, in a quiet, residential neighborhood.

    Good rest is important for vacations! That's why we take pride in offering newer, comfy mattresses in all bedrooms.

    Our1/2 acre property features a lush, grassy fenced in back yard, big outdoor shower, firepit with Adirondack style chairs, sunny deck, hammock, and a pretty and private space 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 your 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. Please also note, for your comfort, we ask that you supply your own bed and personal linens, towels, etc.

    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.

Amazing Cape Cod family home

We loved this home! The Barking Urchin is quiet, private, spacious, and extremely comfortable. It is convenient to both ocean and bay beaches, and located near good local businesses. The kids loved the yard, the firepit, and the couches that seem to hug you whenever you sit down. Communication with the owners was excellent. I cannot recommend this home enough; when we come back to the Cape, we would happily return here!

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.

This house offers a very welcoming, well-stocked, comfortable, spacious base for your Cape Cod stay! We arrived on a hot and humid day, and immediately appreciated the four A/C units on two floors. We didn't use the basement except to do laundry, yet it would really be a bonus if there's a family with kids for that all-important "second hangout space."Outside, as you'll see in our photos, there is ample room for introverted time (important for our family) and we made use of the large lawn and deck to read and nap. We enjoyed multiple meals at the patio table, and used the grill. It also helped that the weather was perfect and being outside was so pleasant, not really buggy.Since our family loves to cook together, yet rental places can vary from what is promised in the profile, we tend to travel with pantry ingredients, knives and cookware. This time, I did not even unwrap my own knives, and we used many of the Yonchak's utensils, cookware, and spices!On the immediate block, several of us had morning runs or walks most days and the quiet streets definitely lend themselves for exercise routines. For those considering this location, know that there is not much town center in Eastham for tourists; we did not mind since the access to BEACHES (we went to seven) was perfect. For our "town mood" times, we simply drove 10-25 minutes to Orleans and Provincetown.Dana gave prompt responses before, during, and after our stay - it's so appreciated! Thank you.

We had a wonderful time! The house was clean, as advertised. Loved the fenced-in backyard and fire pit, and a very nice wrap-around deck to hang out on. There were six of us, and we were never crowded. I like to cook, and quality pots and pans in the kitchen were quite welcome! Hosts communicated well, and we had no issues "checking" in or out. Great location in the mid-Cape, and multiple fine Eastham beaches within a few minutes. We would certainly rent here again, and we had a very positive experience.

Wonderful Eastham Vacation House

This was our third time staying at the Urchin. We enjoyed family whiffle ball games in the yard, unwinding after the beach, reading, and eating dinner on the deck. The inside space is very inviting and comfortable. Great finished basement area too for the kids to hang out in.

Wonderful home!

We had a fabulous week- the house is great- clean, very well equipped kitchen, but very close to many restaurants for take out or eat in. Great deck for outdoor meals, and a superb outdoor shower. Owners left a great book full of suggestions and information on the area. Great location close to bay or ocean beaches. We can't wait to go back!

Great stay, very responsive to questions .

Enjoyed the high lofted ceilings, having the King sized bed upstairs with it's own bathroom. The basement was also very nice when parts of the family wanted to stay up and watch a movie. The desk in the basement was also helpful for catching up on some work.

Everything that we wanted.

Donna and Steve were quick to respond to inquiries as we prepared for a family vacation. The comfortable updated home is perfectly located between the Bay beaches and the Ocean beaches. Shopping for provisions in Orleans or night life in P-Town are easily accessible. The 1/2 acre fenced lot w/outdoor shower and fire pit is comfy and private. The kitchen is well provisioned and even has sharp knives.

Wonderful Cape Vacation

Stayed with our family of 4 and my dad. Plenty of space for everyone, with nice open living area and finished basement. Beautiful backyard where the boys can play and plenty of shade as well. Back deck is a great place to relax after the beach. Great location with easy access to beaches and restaurants. This was our second time staying here.

Wonderful house on the cape

We had a great week stay at the Barking Urchin in Eastham. House is on a quiet street, a mile from campground beach, easy bike ride to rail trail, convenient to coast guard and nauset beaches. House is very comfortable with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a great outside shower, nice wraparound side back deck and a firepit for those cool Cape evenings. Kitchen had everything we needed. Looking forward to future stays at The Barking Urchin!
