Summary: 14487 - First Light: Behind Nauset Lighthouse Steps to Beach!
The Space: Sitting directly next-door to iconic Nauset Light a few short steps away from the Atlantic Ocean is First Light. This rustic two bedroom cottage has plenty of Cape Cod charm in a truly unique and unbelievable location and is the perfect place to escape from the world to enjoy some vacation peace.
Entering the home you step into a wide open living space with vaulted ceilings. Youâll find a kitchen area, dining area and living room area with a slider that provides access to the deck all in this central space. Down the short hallway are the two bedroomsâone with a full-size bed and one with two twin beds. Also down the hallway is the full tile bathroom with a unique frosted glass wall and walk in shower.
Outside of First Light is a large mahogany deck with plenty of room to grill and relax. While many vacation homes have a nice deck to relax on, few have a view of the lighthouse next door like this one. This home features a unique wooden path to an outdoor shower off of the deck which gives you the feeling of taking a shower in the middle of the woods.
Off the front yard a private path leads you to Nauset Light next door, a spectacular view of the Atlantic Ocean and a few steps further youâll find the unmatched beauty of famous Nauset Light Beach. Truly set in the dunes of the Cape Cod National Seashore, the location of this vacation home must be seen and experienced to be believed.
As well as the ocean beaches of the Cape Cod National Seashore, Eastham is home to a variety of beautiful Cape Cod Bay beaches like First Encounter and Campground Beach. Due to the unique location of this home, wifi is provided but the service is not always reliable. This is a great home for unplugging, relaxing, and recharging.
Eastham is also home to a variety of fantastic bars and restaurants. Whether you are in the mood for Thai Food (Royal Thai Cuisine), a more traditional and comfortable American pub (Local Break) or high end Mexican cuisine (Casa Del Cabo) you can find it all nearby in Eastham.
We encourage you to book First Light for your next Cape Cod vacation!

There were a number of issues initially that required intervention, but in all cases the Del Mar staff was very responsive and helpful. There are things that could easily be improved (decent lighting in the living room, etc.). One surprise was that the washer dryer is in an unpleasant basement accessed only by a separate outdoor entrance. However, the cottage has a rustic charm, and the location so close to the beach is fabulous.
This little bungalow was very charming. Amazing location to the beach, which was really why we were there. The yard was big so the kids could play outside or lounge on the deck. Its location to other points of interest was also ideal for us. The house had a lot of items that were useful, but if you plan to really cook, there are just two small pans and a pot, so bring what you need. The two twin beds were very comfortable, but the other bed was not so comfy and tiny for two people. We had a great time and would definitely consider renting this home again,
Amazing location, just a short walk to the beach and amazing view of the lighthouse. Our son loved hanging outside in the hammock. It was wonderful that our pups could join us and hang out at the beach too.
We had a great stay, the property was just as advertised! It was super clean and perfectly set up for our family. Del Mar was great to work with and we would definitely stay at their properties in the future!
Most enjoyable aspects of this property include the proximity to the beach, comfortable mattresses, kitchen with well-stocked utensils, pot and pans, dishes and silverware. The house is also not too far away from shops in Orleans and Wellfleet. Of course, having the lighthouse so close by adds to its charm.
Great location. House is wonderful, so clean, well maintained, good set up and amenities. Wish we could have stayed longer, would return regularly if we can!
We had such a lovely time at the Innisfree cottage. The outdoor shower was a HUGE hit and the lovely twinkly lights in the main room and the backdrop of the Nauset lighthouse against the cottage were absolutely magical. We took walks every morning on Nauset beach which is literally steps away. We even played cornhole (a first for several of us) with glasses of wine in the backyard. Really sweet stay. As one of our daughters said, âI want to live in this house!â
The house was amazing and the location is incredible- just a short walk to an amazing beach. We loved our stay and the amount of outdoor space to hang out in was unexpected. We could hear the waves crashing from the yard. The house had everything we needed and was so tastefully decorated. We absolutely loved our stay and all the thoughtful touches. We would absolutely stay again.
This property - located next door to a working lighthouse - has everything one needs for an easy, relaxing vacation just a 2-minute walk to a spectacular view of Cape Cod's wild ocean side, and a 10-minute walk down to an uncrowded clean beach, complete with life guards and curious seals.
Secluded, steps from the beach, all the amenities need for a comfortable stay, fun beach and other outdoor toys included, such as bodyboards, bikes, rafts, and lawn chairs. Staying here next year for sure.
Luke & Christina Chapman, the founders of Del Mar Vacations, grew up as Cape Cod wash-ashores on the Outer Cape. They started Del Mar to provide great service to homeowners and vacationers alike. As a homeowner renting his home in Wellfleet while living in California, Luke felt that guests should relax on their vacation rather than worrying about packing enough sheets & towels or dealing with issues that may arise at their rental. Hospitality & Property Management are core to the guest experience and out of this, Del Mar was born. We cover all angles by Thinking like a Homeowner, Thinking like a Guest with our anticipatory service and detailed care of all our homes. Everything we do at Del Mar is geared toward making your guest experience better than the status quo. We strive to provide every guest with Cape Cod vacation memories to last a lifetime.
