I’m thrilled to share some personal news: I just purchased my own Cape Cod property at 118 Bay Road in Eastham! This quintessential Cape cottage checks every box — steps from a private bay beach, rooftop deck for sunsets, screened porches, and plenty of space to enjoy with family and friends.
But beyond the charm, this purchase represents something deeper: practicing what I preach.
As a REALTOR®, I often tell my clients that real estate is the best long-term investment. It’s not just about having a roof over your head, it’s about creating stability, building wealth, and enjoying a lifestyle that adds value in ways the stock market never can. With the right property, you can blend personal enjoyment with financial growth — and that’s exactly what drew me to 118 Bay Road.
Why This Property?
This home is more than a getaway — it’s a smart short-term rental investment. Cape Cod has long been one of New England’s most desirable vacation destinations, and properties with proximity to the water, outdoor living spaces, and that classic “Cape feel” consistently attract strong demand. From the deeded beach access to the outdoor shower, this cottage has everything vacationers are looking for, which makes it both a dream personal retreat and a promising rental opportunity.
Practicing What I Preach
I don’t just talk to my clients about investing in real estate — I believe in it so much that I do it myself. Purchasing 118 Bay Road is my way of demonstrating that I put my money where my mouth is. I truly believe in the long-term value of owning property, whether you’re looking for a primary residence, a second home, or an income-producing asset.
What’s Next
While this home is move-in ready, I’ll be taking it through a thoughtful renovation to maximize both its rental potential and our enjoyment as a family. Think updated finishes, refreshed coastal style, and a design that makes the most of every square foot.
Stay tuned as I share the journey — from before-and-afters to rental insights and the behind-the-scenes decision-making that goes into a project like this.
For me, 118 Bay Road isn’t just a house — it’s a real-world example of why I believe in real estate as the best long-term investment.
