This classic Cape Cod home sits on 1.57 acres and is brimming with antique character. The fully remodeled interior includes an updated kitchen and an inviting living room. Enjoy a cookout and dine alfresco on the back patio, where an outdoor fireplace awaits. Mature trees in the sprawling backyard provide shade and privacy. An enclosed outdoor shower is handy after fun-filled beach days. Walk just 3 minutes to the beach at Pleasant Bay. Or head to the beach at Jackknife Harbor (2 miles) to enjoy sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking, or clamming. Soak up the sun at Nauset Beach (5.7 miles) and take in beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean. Downtown Orleans (3.8 miles) and Main Street in Chatham (4.5 miles) each boast an array of great restaurants, boutique shops, and entertainment options.
Unwind on the new sectional in the spacious living room while watching a movie on the smart TV with a Chromecast device. Relax and unwind on a sofa and two side chairs beside the gas fireplace. A large table with three chairs serves as a game table or a home office space. Release your inner chef in the gleaming kitchen, complete with modern upgrades and a full suite of stainless steel appliances -- including a roomy French-door fridge. Seven can gather at the breakfast table. The large table in the formal dining room seats eight. The primary bedroom has a king bed, two armchairs, and ample natural light. The en-suite bathroom has a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk bed, a twin daybed, and a crib, while the third bedroom has two queen beds and an armchair. The hallway bathroom has a tub/shower combination. A convenient half bath is located off the foyer. Extra perks include complimentary WiFi, a washer/dryer, and beach gear (including an inflatable standup paddleboard, an umbrella, and chairs).

The house was very nice. The porch was perfect for outside dining. The property was peaceful and quiet despite being on a busy road. There's a small beach within walking distance and it's a short drive to Chatham, Nauset, etc. The only issue was that the outdoor shower wasn't working. Otherwise, a lovely stay.
5.0 / 5.0
Just a short drive to Harwich, Chatham and downtown Orleans. Beautiful home and spacious and separated enough for a big family.
We loved roasting marshmallows outside in fireplace, chasing bunnies in the yard and enjoying family time in family room and big kitchen.
We’ve stayed at several houses over the years but this has been our favorite by far.
Kitchen fully stocked for anything you could imagine. We walked on shoulder to the beach several times and watched the horseshoe crabs and boats in the bay. Excellent. Oh and the beds are actually comfortable and linens are quality! Unusual for a rental.
4.0 / 5.0
The house was large, clean and located on a very nice lot that provided enough distance so that the busy road it was located on never resulted in a noise problem. The interior was exactly as it appeared in the listing. It was very comfortable and had all the amenities needed for a nice relaxing stay. As a previous guest pointed out however you could not walk anywhere as the shoulder was quite narrow. In my opinion it was not suitable for biking either. Two inconveniences were the outdoor shower did not work(there was a hose you could use for sandy feet) and despite assistance from a local agent we were never able to get the tv to work with Google Home.

Great location and spacious comfortable home giving you a lot of space to spread out. Nice fireplace in the living room creating a cozy atmosphere and helpful in those chilly evenings.

Very well appointed. Good Cape location
4.0 / 5.0
The house and grounds are very nicely kept and cleaned. Warning, however - this is walk to absolutely nothing unless you want to risk your life walking down a narrow road with no sidewalk and practically no shoulder. You will have to drive everywhere. I wouldn’t even want to bike it. Especially with small kids. Also, the A/C doesn’t work. They have thermostats and vents which work about as well as props, honestly. If it’s hot and you need relief, not the place for you. All that said, it is a nice house with lots of room and everything you will need. Great for a big family - I would recommend it but not when it’s hot out! Fix your A/C, owners!

Great. Vecasa Took care of a couple of things early, and we had a good vacation
3.0 / 5.0
I really wanted to give a glowing review because the house is spacious, with a large peaceful yard, and only a 2-minute walk to an adorable little harbor and small beach. The truth is that were just too many shortcomings to this stay. There seemed to be no attention to detail and many things were missing or out of place. It’s as though the owner is new to renting or hasn't bene around much. It should have bene a red flag when I was told we would have no access to the owner. To make it worse, the managing company, Vacasa, is in Oregon so trying to deal with them was a train wreck; someone reading off a screen with obligatory “I’ll put in a ticket and someone will get back to you within 24-48 hours”. I’m guessing they represent thousands of vacations homes, at least have an office in New England. And to the owner, do yourself a favor by giving the business to a local property management company who can assist your guests. We arrived at 3:50 for 4pm check-in and the cleaning company was here until 5…and they did a poor job cleaning. It was very expensive and besides being a beautiful home, it fell short in many other area.
3.0 / 5.0
Very nice location, beautiful yard, charming house, nice kitchen and layout.
The master bedroom air conditioning does not work so it was 80° in there during our stay and made for uncomfortable sleeping.
Some small issues like the outdoor shower is broken, the main floor bathroom door doesn’t close.
Otherwise a nice stay but I would
not book this again until the ac was fixed.

Went with a group of friends to celebrate a friend’s engagement on the Cape. The place was beautifully furnished, comfortable and well-equipped! We wish we could have spent longer! Would 100% recommend.

Friends and I spent a lovely vacation enjoying Cape Cod and our stay at Sea La Vie. The home is old and very authentically Cape Cod. It is fully updated and very comfortable, yet still charming and cozy. I loved the fireplace in the living room, the big comfy couch, the spacious bedrooms, the beautiful private yard, and the simple yet elegant decor. It’s quite simple the perfect spot for a Cape Cod vacation!

2.5 / 5.0
We have rented many houses for our family vacations. This house by far was the most beautiful, most comfortable, and absolutely stunning house we have ever stayed in. It had everything we needed for cooking and the huge open living room was perfect for all of our family to be together. I can’t say enough great things about this house. Perfect area and close to all of the little towns. Will definitely stay here again

Generally a very nice home on a lovely property. Everything new / in working order, yet still charming. Great location
4.0 / 5.0
My family of 4 (two kids under 7) visited this property and really enjoyed the property and location. Having grown up spending summers down the Cape, we knew the location and wanted to be central to Chatham, Brewster, and Harwich. This house is a stones throw to Wequasette Resort and Pleasant Bay. Although it's on a busy street, the house is set way back from the road. It is a tidy house with beautiful coastal decor and everything you need to enjoy your trip. The property manager lives close by and can pop over anytime to address your needs. The backyard is huge with plenty of space for littles ones to run around safely. We'll add the one to our list of homes to revisit.
