Bedroom Suite: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: 2 Twin Beds | Living Room: Couches

You'll find this tranquil beach cottage set among classic Cape Cod shingled homes on a private, winding drive and 0.86-acre lot. With a full remodel in 2013, the property is completely renovated with brand new appliances and furnishings. Additionally, the property offers 2 Specialized bicycles allowing for easy access to the best of Cape Cod!

Lounge in the bright and airy, open-concept living area boasting ample windows with traditional Cape Cod plantation shutters and wide-pine plank flooring. Kick back and relax in front of the large, mounted Sony flat-screen cable TV or get cozy by the propane fireplace!

In the spacious and open fully equipped kitchen, you'll enjoy lots of morning sunlight from the picture windows. This updated space includes a subway tile backsplash, granite countertops, an extended center island, high-end stainless steel appliances, recessed kitchen lighting, and plenty of dishware and cookware. Share your home-cooked masterpieces at the circular 6-person dining table!

You'll love spending time on the back patio, complete with a charming pergola and retractable awning to create pleasant shade during warm afternoons. Fire up the gas grill to throw a home-style cookout and sip cocktails around the outdoor dining table! The large, flat and private backyard is the perfect space for downtime outside, away from the beach.

The secluded property surrounding the home includes mature trees that provide private coverage, many beautiful large hydrangeas, professional landscaping, and blue-stone walkways - all adding to your rejuvenating Cape Cod experience!

-- THE LOCATION --

Soak up all the natural beauty and memories the Cape Cod area offers while staying in this Orleans abode. The vacation rental is situated in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to Skaket Beach, about 0.6 - 0.8 miles (depending on the route) or a 10-minute walk away. Walk to the shore or ride the 2 provided bicycles for a day of lounging in warm sand and exploring the beach's magical tide pools! Stay until evening to watch the sunset beyond the western horizon before heading back to the house to whip up a homemade dinner.

Just about 2 miles from the property, you'll find the quaint town of Orleans where you can roam the Orleans Marketplace or Orleans Farmers' Market on Saturday mornings. Get your fix of New England fare at Lobster Claw Restaurant or treat your partner to a romantic dinner at the elegant Captain Linnell House.

Keep driving 3 miles east of town to check out Nauset Beach, a 10-mile stretch with excellent fishing and surfing. Pay a visit to the Captains Golf Course, a double championship par 72, 36-hole course in Brewster - 6 miles from the home. Hop on the Cape Cod Rail Trail to bicycle your way across this popular peninsula or take a day trip to Provincetown, a historical seaside getaway 45 minutes away!

We had a great time at this cottage. Three bedrooms, very comfortable, great outdoor space, nice yard, and a perfect little home away from home. It's a great place to stay.

We stayed just for a long weekend for a soccer tournament. Check in process was a breeze. The house is spotless and has everything we needed. Appliances are new including the washer / dryer. The master bedroom suite was lovely and makes the house feel so much bigger to accommodate families. Close to restaurants and access to 6/6A for getting around the cape. The beach is walkable but can’t imagine doing the walk with chairs and a cooler. The drive is short but you end up a tiny bit farther down the beach. Overall a great spot to spend a vacation!

This house was perfect for our family! We loved all the cozy nooks, outdoor dining table, bikes and the location! We wish we could have stayed longer...the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful and we felt very at home.

Disappointed with Inhospitable Experience
Disappointed with Inhospitable Experience
Even though it is a beautiful, well-appointed home within walking distance of the beach, we were disappointed with the unexpected demands communicated upon our arrival and the inhospitable tone of our interactions with the property's representatives. (For 20 years, we have rented homes at least annually through several rental platforms and even done home-exchanges--so we do have relevant experience and points of comparison.) Upon arrival, we were greeted with a posted sign above the kitchen sink listing in detail the cleaning we are expected to do--including washing and drying bath mats, cleaning the bathrooms, sweeping the floors, and washing/drying/re-shelving the dishes--all by 10 a.m. on the date of departure. This exceeds any prior move-out instructions we have seen--even during the pandemic--and is inconsistent with the price point, which includes a generous cleaning fee. We took the to-do list seriously, and the cleaning took an hour longer than we expected on the date of departure. When departing, a woman arrived in her car and scolded us for leaving an hour late--there was no need for her to be rude. Half-an-hour into our drive to the airport, another representative called us. The purpose of the call was unclear but began by telling us we departed an hour late and revealed that our departure was captured on posted cameras. (How charming.) More helpfully, she did acknowledge the to-do list is not available on the Evolve listing. Fundamentally, there seems to be a disconnect between the product (a higher-end vacation rental) and the actual arrangement which felt more like a strict co-op of some kind. This is not what we look for in a vacation and certainly not at this price point.

Great cape house
Great cape house
House is as nice as described, 5 min bike ride to the bike path, short drive to supermarkets and to Orleans breakfast/sandwich shops and restaurants. Was good size for us, 2 parents + 2 older kids, each kid got their own bedroom. Lots of comfy chairs inside and a big table on the patio.

Great House! So Convenient
Great House! So Convenient
My sister and I stayed here fir three nights in May, the house is very nice! Spacious, super clean, convenient to the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Easy checkin - quick affirmative response for early Checkin (maybe easier in May than high season). Really great kitchen, we cook for ourselves and really appreciated the Keurig and pods, spices and maple syrup! Very nice washer and dryer in the basement, toiletries in the bathroom made this one of our favorite VRBO houses!

The house had everything we needed, a fully stocked kitchen. We had an issue with the grill, I contacted the property manager Anne, and the grill was repaired the next day.
