We enjoyed our stay at this property as an extended-family group: one elderly grandparent, four parents, and four kids ages 7 to 16. Our favorite things: - The location is great, short drive to town and to the beach. We especially enjoyed Skaket beach with the kids. - The tennis/pickleball court was a huge hit with much of our group. - We LOVED how well stocked the property was with fun outdoor gear, including everything for tennis, pickleball, and the beach. Plentiful beach towels, beach chairs, sun umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys, and more. - Everything was clean, and the mattresses seemed quite new. - The kitchen was a great gathering space for us, plenty of room for all 9 of us to sit and enjoy being together. It is across the mudroom from the main part of the house, which was an unexpected plus, since it made a good space for part of the group to assemble early or late in the day, without disturbing others who were sleeping. - The AC was great to have and worked well. A couple of downsides: - I don’t recommend this house for elderly folks with mobility limitations. I had verified with the owner that there’s a groundfloor bedroom with en suite bath, but the bed in there is so high that the grandparent in our group couldn’t safely get up and down, and ended up sleeping on the couch in the living room :( That worked but wasn’t ideal. - My husband and I had planned to sleep in the cottage, but it smelled strongly of Raid insecticide, so we switched to the main house.

Enjoyed the large central kitchen for together ness and all the separate rooms for privacy. Thanks!

Will come back for other visits to Orleans.

We enjoyed the clean spacious living conditions that could sleep 10 people comfortably. Really enjoyed the spacious kitchen where we congregated the most. It was a home that was very comfortable and had many perks. It was also nice that the Renters Guide was very helpful.

This is a beautiful and comfortable home. Very well furnished and great location. The tennis courts were enjoyed by our Adult kids every morning and evening. It would be hard to find anything nicer.

We had a terrific experience in this house for one week in late July. While everything in Orleans and the mid-Cape is close at hand (beaches, ponds, conservation land, historic sites, shops, restaurants), the quiet road is extremely restful. It's truly silent and dark at night! The house itself is charming, combining a very old historic portion and attractive newer additions. Lots of room to spread out, even for a group. The big, modern eat-in kitchen is a natural space to convene. Communications with the owner were very friendly and helpful in all phases of contact, booking and occupancy. This place is a rare find, giving you a sense of true departure and privacy while putting you close to a wide variety of resources and activities.

The house, location and property were great. Plenty of room for our family to relax get together. Wish the weather was nice enough to play tennis or use the paddleboard. My only issue was with the "guest house ". The fold out sofa had broken springs and was unusable. When we switched to the air mattresses one leaked. Even when we figured out how to to sleep all 8 of us there weren't enough bed linens. There were none for the guest house.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this house over Labor Day weekend! There is tons of space, and it is in a great location - close to the downtown area and several different beaches. The owner, Sarah, and the property manager, Steve, are super helpful and very accommodating. You won’t be disappointed if you rent this house!
