This fabulous, newly-renovated home is near everything, yet tucked away on a quiet private 1.6 acre lot well off the road. It is the perfect spot to relax and unwind with easy access to all historic Orleans offers, yet just a five minute drive to Nauset Beach (2.66 Miles) on the Atlantic for big surf and off-roading. Five minutes in the opposite direction brings you to Skaket Beach (1.75 miles)on Cape Cod Bay. The Town Cove is .33 miles and Pilgrim Lake (fresh water swimming) is only 1.25 miles away. The deep sea fishing fleet at Rock Harbor is 1.6 miles.
Skaket's calm (bay) waters are perfect for small children to romp and wade or hunt for tiny sea creatures. If salt water is not your pleasure, or to wash the salt off, there are two fresh water lake beaches as well - Pilgrim Lake and Crystal Lake - in Orleans. You will be within short walking distance of "Orleans Firebirds" (formerly "Cardinals") summer college baseball all-stars ball games, village shops, public tennis courts and children's park, restaurants, craft fairs and ice cream!
NOT YOUR AVERAGE RENTAL, this charming home is beautifully furnished and appointed. A gourmet kitchen with all state-of-the-art appliances, granite countertops, a Heartland six-burner gas range with a gas conventional/convection oven, microwave and a Bosch dishwasher will be yours to enjoy. All the comforts of home are available with high-speed wireless internet access, three satellite TVs and a Radio/CD.
The first floor features a comfy living room with 52" High-Definition TV with HD DVD player, dining room seating eight, an open kitchen/family room with a fireplace--a great place for guests to relax and chat with the cooks preparing dinner in the adjacent kitchen or at the outdoor grill. There is also a luxurious, first floor, master bedroom with King-sized bed complete with high quality linens, plus an inviting master bath with four-by-six shower and double vanities. French doors lead from the bedroom to the deck and the large sparkling Hot Tub. The second floor boasts a lovely bedroom with a queen sized four-poster and antique dresser, a nearby twin bedroom (two beds) and a sparkling full bath with tub/shower and skylight.
The lower level of the home has a spacious bedroom/playroom with twin beds, sliders to the back yard and a private full bath. For outdoor entertaining, there is a wonderful 50-foot deck on the rear of the home overlooking conservation woodland and a large lawn perfect for outdoor games. This property is perfect for a private getaway, or a family reunion!

Beautiful Cape Cod Family Getaway, Close to Beaches & Village!
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Orleans
Summer vacation has been Cape Cod for our family for over thirty years. We looked casually for a vacation home for that period of time. When we looked at this home - it was perfect!!! My wife and I, with much different tastes, agreed that it was "love at first sight". We made it a reality and hope that you will choose to share it with us.
The Unique Benefits at this House
This property is very special in its seculsion. It borders on a wetlands. Nature is unbeliveable. You will greatly enjoy bird watching and the meticulously manacured grounds. It is very hard to find such a wonderful vaction experience - and never at this price.
Town beach on fresh water lake for kayaking and swimming pleasure. Lifeguards on duty - great for infant children.
Home of the Orleans Cardinals Cape Cod Baseball team. Also athletic fields, playground, skate board park, etc.
Excellent "Bay" beach with salt water, much warmer than Nauset Beach, with tidal pools at low tide for tykes to explore.

Great family house

Review Submitted: 08/15/11
We have been vacationing on Cape Cod for over 10 years and we have finally found the perfect house for our family of 6. We love the location (a block away from the Cape League baseball team, playground, tennis courts and soccer fields, a short walk to the public library, and an easy stroll into downtown for shopping or coffee or restaurants). We can hop on the Cape Cod Rail Trail from the path downtown and ride for miles north or south. We love the comfy furniture, the hot tub off the master suite, the very comfortable master bedroom and more than enough soft blankets and pillows. The kitchen is well-stocked with anything a cook needs and the grill on the deck off the kitchen is large and well cared for. We have returned several years now and are always extremely satistifed with our time at the house and relaxation in the beautiful side and back yards.
Owner response:Thank you very much for the kind review. You very eliquently stated how we also fell about the property. We look forward to seeing you next year.
Recommended for:Families with teenagers, families with young children.

Jim and Colleen have a beautiful home on a private lot that is centrally located to nearby Skaket and Nauset Beaches as well as a short drive to Chatham. They provide tenants with information on local restaurants and attractions, which is very helpful. We enjoyed our stay in their home and in the Cape and hope to return again. Thank you for opening your beautiful home to our family!
Owner response:Thank you for your very generous and thoughtful review. I am very glad that you enjoyed your stay in our Cape Cod home and hope to see you again next year.

This house is amazing! Everything we could ask for and more. I spent a week with two other couples and we had an amazing time. This is the type of rental made for vacationing on the Cape. All you need to worry about bringing is yourself and your clothes. They have everything you need to enjoy your stay, from everything you need to have fun at the beach to all the essentials to cook a gourmet meal in their amazing kitchen. This house is definetly on our list for future stays. The location is secluded, set back off the main road, yet right in the middle of all the action, minutes from the beach and an easy ride to all the best the Cape has to offer. The hot tub was also a huge plus. The owners were great as well, vey easy to work with and happy to keep an open diologue before, durning and after our stay.
Owner response:Thank you very much for you very kind review. We very much appreciate having good responsible people wuch as yourselves stay in our Cape Cod home. We look forward to seeing you again next summer. Obligate early to get your choice of rental period. Just let me know when you would like and I will draw up the Rental Agreement.

We were so happy with our stay at this beautiful home in Orleans. The location is perfect...quiet and private but close to everything. All of our grown children had their own bedrooms and we all were able to enjoy family meals on the deck after trips to Nauset Beach and Skaket Beach. I loved Pilgrim Lake for doing my swim laps. We would love to come back again - we had a great family vacation.

Our family returned to this house for our second time this past summer and had another spectacular time. The house is comfortable (cozy couches, a/c in living room and all bedrooms, good mattresses for kids and great one for master king bed). The deck overlooks a gorgeous backyard with plenty of space to set up the badmitton set or croquet. We love how close the house is to baseball games (you can walk to the field in two minutes) and how we can walk or ride our bikes to the local grocer and library. We bring our bikes and ride from the house, through downtown Orleans, and get on the bike trail easily. This house has everything to make your getaway relaxing and convenient. We also loved the hot tub just outside the master bedroom. We have been vacationing on Cape Cope with our four children for ten years and have found this to be our favorite rental house yet! Thanks to Jim and Colleen for opening their wonderful home to us again.

We can't thank you enough for sharing your beautiful home with us! We had a great time, the kids loved it and we were very comfortable. We were able to walk to the baseball games and the park and the beaches were great and so close! It was a great vacation and we hope to come back next year.

Dear Susan and Lowell, We enjoyed your beautiful home - great cookware, superb Heartland Range (my first experience on one)etc. But for us, the flowers and birds on the deck were a beautiful treat. Many thanks,

Dear Susan and Lowell, We had a wonderful vacation and enjoyed the house and yard tremendously. The hot tub was a real treat. The layout worked out great for us. We saw a real variety of delightful birds which was especially nice for the girls. We also loved the proximity to town and were very impressed with Snow Library. Thank you very, very much!
