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.

For Airbnb: A quick note on who you are paying for what, because lately everyone asks some version of who am I paying for what and to who. We set two things. One. The nightly rate for the home itself which we keep as fair as possible for this area. Two. The cleaning fee matches what our professional cleaning company charges to clean and reset a home this size. Those are the only amounts we control. Airbnb collects its own platform service fee for using the Airbnb site and support. Airbnb may include that platform fee in the total price you see here instead of showing it as a separate line which can make it look like it is part of what we charge. It is not. That amount goes to Airbnb. You will also see taxes as a separate line. Those taxes are required by state and local rules for this area. We do not set the tax rates, and we do not keep those funds. Airbnb calls this “fee transparency”.
