Hot Tub/Kayaks/Ebikes/Waterfront-The Lotus
Brought to you by the Heart of Cape Cod, The Lotus is a serene, adults-only pondside retreat where relaxation meets adventure. Lounge in the private hot tub beside a lighted waterfall pond, swing on the porch bed, meditate on Minister's Pond, or explore the Cape with kayaks, canoes, and ebikes. With two beautifully appointed bedrooms, spa amenities, and a cozy fire pit for gourmet s’mores, this peaceful hideaway is vacation perfection.
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.
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 dock out on the pond is shared space if anyone else happens to be around.
Brought to you by the Heart of Cape Cod, The Lotus is a private, peaceful escape overlooking the still waters of Minister’s Pond—designed for quiet luxury, thoughtful details, and the kind of deep exhale that only comes when everything is just right.
This stylish, fully private retreat makes up the lower level of my home in Eastham. Built into the hillside directly on Minister’s Pond, it offers the kind of views and privacy you’d expect from a standalone escape. With its own entrance, dedicated parking, and two separate outdoor areas, it feels completely your own. One patio features a stunning, lighted lotus pond, cascading waterfalls, and a five-person hot tub for starlit soaks. The other is a covered porch outfitted with a hanging egg chair and a dreamy swinging daybed—ideal for slow mornings and impromptu naps. A nearby fire pit in the yard offers the perfect end to the day under the stars.
Inside, you’ll find curated spaces with spa-like touches: cozy fireplaces in both the living room and the master bedroom, luxurious bedding, and robes that practically insist you take your coffee slowly. You can relax knowing that everything’s been considered—from the thoughtful house guide filled with local gems to the stocked coffee and tea bar, and all the amenities that make a stay feel effortless. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s where you come to truly unwind.
Whether you're kayaking the pond, biking to Nauset Light, or enjoying the silence of a candlelit evening by the fire, The Lotus is your home for rest, reflection, and just the right amount of indulgence.
Sleeping Arrangements • 1 King bed – ultra-comfort luxury in the master, with fireplace and spa robes for lounging in style • 1 Queen bed + 1 Twin loft – pillowtop queen and cozy loft twin in the second bedroom, ideal for companion stays or solo sprawls
Outdoor Highlights • Private patio with outdoor kitchen and gas grill—perfect for sunset dinners or morning coffee al fresco • Seasonal lotus pond with waterfall and underwater lights—your own peaceful soundscape • 5-person hot tub for stargazing soaks and cool-night relaxation • Fire pit in the yard with provided firewood for evenings under the stars • Covered porch with egg chair and swinging bed for dreamy lounging • Outdoor shower for post-beach refreshment
Adventure & Extras • 2 adult electric bikes—ride out to Nauset Light Beach just 2.4 miles away • 2 kayaks and a canoe for exploring the pond and beyond • Board games, vintage record player, and a few albums (bring your favorites too!)
Indoor Amenities • Beautiful fireplaces in both the living room and master bedroom • Fully equipped kitchen with all the essentials for cooking or unwinding with a drink • Coffee and tea bar with drip machine, French press, kettle, regular and decaf coffee, and an assortment of teas—all complimentary • Spa robes (2) in the master suite for elevated comfort • Strong WiFi throughout for work, streaming, or staying in touch
Comfort & Essentials • Central heat and AC for year-round comfort • Luxurious linens, plush duvets, Turkish bath towel sets, and beach towels provided • Complimentary eco-conscious bath amenities: sulfate-free shampoo, conditioner, and body wash—no phosphates or microbeads • Award-winning, custom digital house guide with curated local tips and recommendations • Professionally cleaned by a VRMA-award-winning team using detailed checklists and EPA/CDC-approved protocols
Booking & Policies • This is a peaceful, relaxing space—not suitable for events or parties • Adults-only space: not suitable for children under 12 • Sorry, no pets—really, please don’t ask (our allergy-prone friends thank you) • Minimum booking age: 25 • Optional add-ons available after booking: Farm Fresh Eggs, Romance packages, Early Check-ins/Late Check-outs, and more
Booking Notes • We understand that plans may change, so we always recommend purchasing travel insurance for your vacation • Airbnb Guest Fee Transparency – We believe in clear pricing. We only set two things: a fair nightly rate and a set cleaning fee (what our professional team charges to reset the home). Airbnb adds its own platform service fee on top of this and collects local taxes. These are not controlled or collected by us.
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.

Everything about The Lotus was just as described. We loved the location, although our weather didn't really cooperate we really loved the peaceful setting. We would highly recommend!
The cleanliness, privacy and hot tub was the best part. We loved our stay here. Plenty of towels and the spa robes were a bonus, especially with the hot tub. The host was great. We plan to return in September. Thank you so much!

Perfect Stay!
This is a great vacation spot, right on Ministers Pond, Kayaks, Canoes, Bikes all at our finger tips. The place is nicely furnished , clean and up to date . Great outdoor shower and ambiance on the patio. Central air conditioning which is a MUST for us. The best part was the outdoor covered porch that faces the pond. We spent a lot of time out there, just relaxing. Tara is an amazing host, very very reactive to your needs....could not find the broom, BOOM, there was a broom in no time outside our door...great customer service. Cant wait to come back!! Thanks to both Tara and Chip for a great vacation.

Property was exactly as describe and shown. Tara always available when we needed her or had a question. Wonderful experience at this property. Will stay there again!
We had a wonderful time at this property. Love the view of the water, dock to have coffee in morning and location was close to all our favorites! Thank you for a wonderful stay at your classy, beautiful place.

My friend and I stayed for a girls weekend away and had a great time! We loved the cleanliness of the property and its location. It has a beautiful backyard with a pond! We especially loved the small outdoor deck. It is difficult to tell from the pictures, but it is a lower level of a home, so there are other people and cars around. We did not hear anyone or any pets, though! It felt like we were the only ones there. Perfect weekend away!
The Lotus was perfect for my solo getaway. The view of the pond was beautiful, the unit was immaculate, and the snacks and spa amenities were such an amazing touch. Close to beaches and restaurants, I already can’t wait to book again.
Property was beautiful and pristine clean. Perfect for swinging by the beach and exploring surrounding towns. After a day out, it was nice to sit on the dock and watch the water. We actually had a spa night thanks to the complimentary amenities. The property had everything you needed to enjoy. It was a perfect getaway.
We were so pleased with how well the kitchen was stocked with the typical items you might need, and all the necessities for a campfire were provided, too! We enjoyed sitting on the dock tremendously. Our favorite restaurant in the area was Karoo!
