Joy Cottage is conveniently located to everything we wanted to do. The home was well stocked and very clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful first visit to the Cape. Highly recommended Joy Cottage!

My parents and I used to visit the Cape for many years and stayed in West Dennis. This time my wife and I decided to try something new and stay in Orleans. Found Joy Cottage and we loved it! It is in a great location right off of Route 6. Cottage is tucked back in the woods and made it seem very secluded which we loved. The cottage was very clean and had all the amenities we needed such as AC, fully stocked kitchen, dishwasher, laundry and an outdoor shower. We enjoyed our stay and would love to come back to Joy Cottage again!

Melissa's house is an excellent option for a small family looking for a rental in the vicinity of the Nickerson State Park.
The house is super clean, cozy, any very small. It has everything one may need for a relaxing stay: AC on both levels, well-stocked kitchen with a dishwasher, outdoor shower, comfortable beds, TVs on both levels, a fire pit and fire wood, a large deck. Linens are included (which is not common on the Cape). The host replied to all questions we had promptly. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

The Joy Cottage was a great place to relax and enjoy while visiting Cape Cod! The pictures are very accurate. The kitchen was well stocked, as was the bathroom and bedroom. We loved the quality linens and thick/ thirsty towels. The spiral stairs were easy to navigate to get downstairs to relax on the sectional couch and watch TV. Beautiful hydrangeas and lovely deck were the perfect place to enjoy our morning coffee! Convenient location to all our favorite restaurants, beaches, the bike trail and surrounding towns!

This house is perfect in every way. It is perfectly located on the Cape for day trips, and we loved its location in such a beautiful private neighborhood. The flora and fauna were great, especially the turkeys and the blooming rhododendrons. Our host thought of everything we could possibly need.

Tucked away in the woods, this tidy and well appointed home offers quick access to everything on the lower cape. The kitchen is well stocked if you choose to cook at home. The home was spotless and clearly well cared for. Communication with the owner was excellent.

Property was mediocre clean and basic supplies not well stocked like toilet paper, paper towel and kitchen towels and oven mittens! Other that, it is a nice cozy cottage more for couples than a family.

We’ve been coming to Orleans for over 5 years. The house we used to stay in was sold, and we’ve been on the hunt for the “perfect” house ever since. This is it!!! I can’t say enough kind things about the house- it is in the perfect location, they’ve maximized ever space for comfortable living, it is so clean! They literally provide you with everything you could ever want/need for the perfect vacation. We’ll be back next year!

A lot of reviews sound canned and may not help people get the best assistance while looking for a place to stay.
The Joy Cottage is absolutely phenomenal for a single person, a couple or couple with one child, that enjoy Privacy and Modern living.. Location was Fantastic; Access to Upper Cape as well as Chatham, Brewster and Chatham.
Privacy, Location and Relaxation are the three words to sum up your stay at the Joy Cottage. I will be going back.. 👍👍

Wonderful home in a great location to experience all the Cap has to offer. Stayed as a family of four and the cottage was everything that we could have asked for. Host was very friendly and check in and check out was very easy. If available we would definitely book again on a return trip.

We fell in love with this adorable cottage immediately! Small yet spacious, this cottage has a charm and homey feel that strikes you upon entering the door for the first time. It has all the amenities to make you comfortable, including the wrap around deck, outdoor shower and firepit. Close to beaches and the pond behind the property, minutes from great restaurants and shopping, yet we still felt a sense of rural privacy and quietness. We can’t wait to return!

Great spot for a weekend getaway. Perfect location to check out both mid and outer cape beaches and towns. Very clean, kitchen had everything you need to cook in, couch/tv area was cozy, and the fire pit set up is a nice bonus.

The cottage was the perfect place for us to stay during our weekend exploring Cape Cod. The hosts were welcoming & available. It’s obvious the hosts take great pride in the cottage - so many lovely touches. We especially enjoyed the fire pit our last evening. It was just perfect!

Joy cottage was a perfect spot for my daughter and me for our fall soccer tournament. The cottage was clean cozy and comfortable. It was in a great location- easy to get on the road to morning games in surrounding towns while also being close to anything we needed in town and wanted to see around Orleans in our down time. Before we rented, I was a little concerned it might be too close to rt6 when looking at the map. We were nicely surprised to see what a serene and quiet wooded spot it was. It was also nice to check on Bakers Pond down the road- a spot I remember visiting as a kid for post Nauset “rinse off” after a day in the sand and sea. Joy cottage is a joy!

First trip to the Cape for my wife and I. The location of the cottage was perfect. Easily accessible off the highway our daily excursion to both ends of the Cape were easy.
The cottage was very comfortable and the yard and porch were inviting to lounge around or entertain. Home is where the heart is and for the week my wife and I were at home.
The hosts were terrific!

Great stay at the Joy Cottage. Cottage was clean and well stocked. Great location for driving to beach and exploring different towns. The bike trail is not far but with a young teen we were not comfortable riding across rt 6a. I would definitely stay at Joy Cottage again. Melissa was quick to respond to our questions.
10.0 / 10.0
We loved our stay. Hosts were extremely responsive and they provide everything you need, including a well-stocked kitchen.
We especially loved the tranquil setting, multiple outside seating areas, and the outside shower. Queen bedroom is nice and cool and has a good mattress. Living room is spacious and well-air conditioned. All very clean!
Great fun at both Skaket and Nauset Beaches- both an easy drive away. And woods behind property are nice to walk in. We hope to stay at Joy Cottage again.

Melissa was great to work with, always replying within an hour or less. Joy Cottage is such a happy, bright, clean home away from home.

A true JOY!
The Joy Cottage is everything its owners advertise. This sweet space is a great base from which to explore all The Cape has to offer, as it is centrally located, yet gives you the feeling of being away from it all, on a quiet parcel, tucked away in the woods. The space is clean, comfortable, well-equipped and is exactly as pictured. Melissa and Marcus (the owners) were extremely responsive to our needs and the perfect hosts. We highly recommend this property and hope to visit again!

Wonderful Cape Cottage
This cottage was so thoughtfully put together and was a wonderful place for a cape get-away weekend. The location couldn’t be better in terms of access to biking, the National seashore, and cape cod towns. The place itself was very clean, cute, and the kitchen was well stocked. The hosts were also very nice and responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there!

Lovely, charming cottage in Orleans
My husband and I stayed here during Thanksgiving since we were visiting family and had a lovely time. The property was in a beautiful spot on a street conveniently located right off of 6A. The owners were very easy to reach with any questions we had. The space is small and cozy but has everything you need including a gas stove and well-equipped kitchen. We would definitely stay here again in the summer or off season!
