About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

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

We loved staying at the Barking Urchin for our week at the Cape. It felt like our home away from home. Clean and cozy with a beautiful yard, wrap around deck and new outdoor shower, it has all the amenities for a wonderful stay. Highly recommend - I know that we’ll be back!

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.

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.

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.

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.

It was a great location...close to several beaches My kids loved the backyard...especially the hammock. The outdoor showers was great too when we came from the beach. The owners were very helpful and responsive to everything. They even asked if we needed help with restaurants and entertainment. The house was well stocked with basic needs (soap, TP, PT, dishes, & spices) We definitely will be staying there again!

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!

We had a fabulous week at The Barking Crab!

This house on a very quiet street was perfect for our party of 2 couples. The house was spotlessly clean, and was exactly as described. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen well -stocked and easy to prepare food in. The living area and outside deck (where we spent most of our time!) were very nice as well. We had a minor issue which required contact with the owner who was very responsive. We would most definitely recommend this 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.

Wonderful Cape Vacation

We stayed July 4th week with our family of 4 and my dad. The house is very spacious for our group of 5. It has a nice open area between the kitchen and tv room. The bathrooms and showers were great including the outdoor shower. The lawn is very well maintained and made for a fun play area for the boys. The location is very convenient near Eastham beaches and restaurants. Amenities also included cable and Netflix which was nice to relax with after long beach days. We will definitely book again.

Lovely home for a family getaway

The house is very clean and in a great location. It is bright and airy and Eastham is a wonderful place to vacation. The beaches are wonderful and you have your pick of great restaurants. Do not miss biking on the Rail Trail! It would be useful for the owner to provide a few more basics: salt, pepper, matches for the grill, and a toaster to replace the toaster oven and an urgent care phone number and location. Other than that you had everything you needed.

Great stay

We had a great stay at the Barking Urchin. The hosts were very communicative from the beginning, answering little questions by email, etc. The house is in a great location, and we spent lots of time at both the bayside beaches and the ocean beaches. Lovely porch and yard - my favorite was the hammock (very peaceful). We were there during a heat wave, and the air conditioning units kept the house cool. Everything we needed in the kitchen! There were four of us staying there, and the downstairs area was nice for people to do Zoom calls and yoga. It was wonderful to have the laundry machines.

A lovely summer week in a great location

My family of four spent a week vacation in July in this wonderfully located rental. Having stayed in the past in other parts of the Cape, we loved how close to nature this lovely house is. We could choose each day between going to the beach on the bay side or in the ocean, or going for a bike ride and mini golf instead. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from for a night out. We also enjoyed spending time in the large and well maintained yard (pictures don’t do it justice). The house is well furnished, with plenty of cookware, two large TVs, and AC in every room. The owners are very responsive and we greatly appreciated the tips they provided about the different beaches to visit. We had a great time!

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.
