Sand Bar-Dog Friendly on Cooks Brook Beach

Welcome to Sandbar, your perfect dog-friendly Cape Cod retreat, brought to you by the Heart of Cape Cod. Located beachside at Cooks Brook Beach in Eastham, this cozy getaway offers stunning bayfront sunsets and easy access to the National Seashore for ocean sunrises. With three inviting bedrooms, a spacious deck for seaside relaxation, and a comfortable living space with a fireplace, Sandbar is the ideal home base for your Cape adventures.

Welcome to Sand Bar, your perfect fall retreat on the quiet shores of Cook’s Brook Beach in Eastham. As autumn settles over the Cape, the bay transforms into a painter’s dream—soft golden light gliding across rippled sandbars, the scent of salt mingling with crisp ocean air, and sunsets that stretch slow and deep across the horizon.

Centrally located, Sand Bar offers the best of every Cape Cod season. Stroll the peaceful beach just steps from your door, explore the National Seashore’s winding trails ablaze with color, or bike the nearby Cape Cod Rail Trail through canopies of amber leaves. Spend a day discovering Provincetown’s art galleries or Chatham’s charming boutiques before returning home to the cozy warmth of your bayside haven.

Inside, gather in the open kitchen for hearty fall meals or settle by the fireplace in the inviting living room as the evening tide hushes outside. The spacious deck is perfect for cool-weather grilling or sipping hot cider beneath the soft rustle of beach grass. End the day with a rinse in the outdoor shower—a bracing autumn ritual that captures the spirit of the Cape.

With luxurious linens, eco-friendly amenities, and thoughtful touches throughout, Sand Bar is more than a getaway—it’s a retreat for reflection, restoration, and seaside simplicity.

Highlights:

• A custom, state-of-the-art digital house manual with local fall recommendations provided with each stay
• 1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Twins, 1 Chaise (ideal for smaller guest or child)
• Luxurious linens, duvets, and Turkish towel sets for a cozy, restful stay
• 1½ baths
• Eco-friendly toiletries: shampoo, conditioner, and body wash free of microbeads
• Coffee bar with regular and decaf coffee and a variety of teas
• Mini-split systems for heat and AC—stay cozy in every season
• Centrally located directly on Cook’s Brook Beach for unforgettable sunsets
• Gas grill and patio furniture for alfresco fall dining
• WiFi throughout
• Washer & dryer
• Two-car parking in sandy driveway (no street parking)
• Dog-friendly ($100 fee, must be over 1 year old). No cats, ferrets, hamsters, or pet rocks—just one happy woof.
• Optional add-ons: Pack-n-Plays, Farm Fresh Eggs, Early Check-In/Late Check-Out, Tours, and more (details provided after booking)
• Professionally cleaned by a VRMA award-winning company with full sanitization and inspection procedures

Because travel plans shift as easily as the tides, we always recommend travel insurance for peace of mind during your Cape Cod escape.

Great Getaway

Property is in a great location near the beach that has gorgeous sunsets and during low tide great for walks. Also easy access to Rt 6. House was very neat and clean, good size for the two of us and our pups. Lots of little extras, such as coffee, snacks, nice linens, etc that made us feel welcome and at home.

A cozy, comfortable, beach house

This house was perfect for our family; my husband and I brought our two teen children, and each of them brought a friend. The house was nicely laid out, clean, and offered everything we needed to have a restful week on the cape. The beach (bay side) is just steps from the house and was beautiful. We were also able to bring our golden retriever, which made our vacation even nicer!

Two houses from the beach, what more can I say?! To be able to sit on the porch and watch the sunrise and sunset was just what was needed. The house is very nice, I do think it could use a deep clean, it was clean but could take a little more. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

Beach House

The house is so close to the beach. We didn’t need to leave the front porch to see the sunset. There was enough room in the house for the 7 of us. We found the house well stocked with everything we needed to be comfortable.

Beautiful accommodations steps away from the beach. Love, love, love the outside shower and deck!! Each bedroom had its own access to the deck area, definitely a plus!! Tara was lovely to work with and very responsive. If I could I’d give it a 10 out of 10. We will book again I’m sure!!

Great Beach House

We enjoyed this beach house ; it worked well for our family. The location is ideal . The house was equipped with everything you could imagine needing for a week. In addition, there were extras - like treats and spa items. Also, Tara was very attentive and responded right to my questions. We had a great time at Sandbar😊
