About this apartment rental

Just-updated waterfront haven sleeps up to 6 on two levels next to freshwater Crystal Lake. With its enticing southern views over sparkling swimmable water, outdoor amenities include an enclosed shower, patio, propane BBQ, large sloping lawn, small sandy beach, new deck next to a vintage boathouse, three kayaks, a canoe, and a floating swim dock.

This home has a full-featured eat-in kitchen, living room, half-bathroom, and full-sized laundry machines on the ground floor, with two queen bedrooms and a full bathroom upstairs. The new 55” QLED 4K smart TV on a full-motion mount lets you watch from the kitchen, living room, or patio. The queen-sized sleeper sofa is brand new, as are all furnishings, wall art, and the bottom-up/top-down honeycomb shades on all windows. There’s 200Mbps Xfinity wifi, plus Roku-equipped TVs in both bedrooms. Mini-split heating/AC lets you customize each room’s climate. And the new tankless water heater provides infinite hot water.

Located in a quiet part of Orleans at the north end of Crystal Lake, close to downtown, you’re 2 minutes from public tennis courts at Eldredge Park, 3 minutes to the 25-mile rail trail bike path, and 6 minutes to Nauset Beach on the ocean or Skaket Beach on Cape Cod Bay.

There’s a Super Stop & Shop 5 minutes north and a Shaw’s supermarket 4 minutes west, along with numerous restaurants and coffeehouses, boating, watersports, and bike-rental stores, gyms, and pharmacies within a 3-minute drive. Snow Library, the Orleans Firebirds’ baseball diamond, and the Academy Playhouse are all a 2-minute drive away.

The kitchen features a gas oven/range, microwave oven, dishwasher, freezer-on-the-bottom fridge, French press and flex-brew coffeemakers (with coffee pods, creamer, and sugar), Ninja blender, toaster, filtered-water pitchers (2), complete BBQ set, box full of bug sprays, sunscreens, and aloe, full set of pots and pans (including a lobster pot), flatware, Corell dinnerware, and glassware (mugs, juice glasses, iced-tea glasses, stemless wine glasses, tumblers, and picnic cups) for 6. There are folding trays when it's time to move to the living room or paved, umbrella-shaded patio.

On arrival, park in one of the two spaces marked ''Unit 1'' and walk down a short path (lined with motion-sensitive LED lights) past a neighbor’s garage and down 7 steps toward the lake. The home isn’t visible from the road. Unit 1 (your destination) is part of a 4-unit condo association and shares a common wall with Unit 2 (on the far side). All occupants share the lawn, deck, watercraft, and swim dock.

This property has a 1-night minimum stay and a 7-night maximum stay. State and local short-term occupancy taxes totaling 14.45% apply to all reservations less than 32 days in length. A fully refundable $200 damage deposit applies to all bookings, and there's a $225 cleaning fee.

Linens, Towels, etc
===============
Linens are supplied for all three beds, along with bath, hand, and beach towels. Pillow protectors will be freshly laundered; mattress protectors, bedspreads, blankets, and quilts will not.

June-September Bookings are Saturday-to-Saturday
=========================================
Peak-season demand and Saturday changeover days (traditional on the Cape) compel me to permit only Saturday-to-Saturday bookings from June through September.

We just returned from our 1st trip to the Cape. The entire rental process was a breeze. The host, Andrew provided us with every single detail we could possibly want to know about the home and surrounding areas before arrival! Makes such a huge difference when you're in an unfamiliar location. We arrived to a clean space with plenty of towels, fresh linens on beds & nice little care packages in case you forgot any essentials. The location on Crystal Lake can't be beat. You could unpack and not leave the property. The use of shared paddle boards & kayaks was a fun bonus! Orleans is also a great jumping off point mid Cape for exploring the nearby towns. So many different activities in either direction. If we visit the Cape again, we would rent from Andrew without hesitation. Thanks for sharing your peaceful retreat, Andrew!

Beautiful place to stay, newly renovated, enjoyed being in Orleans. My young adult daughter enjoyed it, too. We made popovers in the kitchen to bring to a relative's house - kitchen even had muffin pans, so we were good to go.

This townhouse is located close to the center or Orleans, and close to both the National Seashore and Bay beaches. The condo community consists of a house, a cottage and two attached duplex townhouses. All share the grounds, including the lakefront property. The lake is lovely. Single person kayaks are provided, which we used and were a lot of fun. The unit has a patio with outdoor table and chairs and an outdoor shower. The unit was spotless and well equipped. Everything you might need in the kitchen was provided. Knives were sharp (a rarity in a rental). Full size washer/dryer and dishwasher were included. Sliders in living room opened to the patio and had a nice view of the lake. The two bedrooms were upstairs; one had a lake view. The unit was spotless and it was easy to communicate with the host. Highly recommend!

The place was exactly as described and seen in the photos. Everything we could have needed and then some was in the house. Extremely quiet neighborhood was fantastic for sleeping. Everything in town was a 3 minute drive so the location couldn’t be beat. The lake was very clean and fun to swim out to the floating platform. We met some of the neighbors who were very friendly and welcoming. The outdoor shower was probably my favorite. Being able to be outside with total privacy and looking up at the trees was amazing. I can’t saw enough good things about this place. Andrew was super accommodating and gracious. If you’re looking for a place to stay on the cape, make this your spot. Orleans is one of my favorite towns on the cape and I now have a new favorite place to stay when I visit.

We loved our stay on the lake. It was an amazing property right on the lake and Andrew was super communicative before and throughout our stay. Comfortable, good AC and every detail was thought through to make the experience pleasant.
