There is plenty of comfortable seating and tables for calm breakfasts, seafood dinners, and family game nights. There is also plenty of access to the outside so you can enjoy the calm of the 1.3 acre yard.

The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2016 with new cabinets and a peninsula for eating. It has new appliances, including a refrigerator with in-door water/ice, a dishwasher, microwave oven, and stove/oven.

The main family room has a cathedral ceiling with exposed beams. It offers a big screen HDTV and opens to side deck and a screened in porch with a chest of board games.

The 1.3 acre property gives adults the privacy to connect with nature, relax and enjoy the early morning or evening sea breezes. The yard gives children plenty of room to run, play yard games, and explore in a private, safe setting. Enjoy the outdoor shower to experience the beautiful blue sky and morning birds or for a convenient clean up when you return from the beach!

Orleans Vacation with Family
House was perfect for 7 Adults and 1 Child. I would definitely rent here again, we loved the back porch for gathering together for all our meals and games. All A/C's kept everyone cool, beds were comfortable, and loved the outdoor shower w/great water pressure. The walk to the beach is 15 minutes and we suggest walking the streets to Skaket beach and not using the path shown. Walk time is the same but not as easy of a walk especially with beach gear and the beach at the end not as nice. Only slight disappointment was the yard for us as last year we had nice green grass. The lawn here was rough and patchy but large for a 2yr old to work out his energy. All and all a great stay in a lovely home, area, and the entire rental process. Thank You, The Gallant Family

Great house for large family...great location to Skaket beach
The house had plenty of room with 2 livingrooms, and 2 sun screened in porches. We sat on the porch every night, it was relaxing and peaceful (with the children using the other porch). The AC units cooled the entire house. It was a great house! The only drawback was the smell coming from the upstairs carpets.

About the host

Hosted by John Joseph

Host profile image
We grew up in Massachusetts and currently live in Lexington, MA with our three boys. We have been life-long visitors and explorers of Cape Cod. We love to explore the Cape - every beach is different, every town has a unique character. The surprises are never ending and we want to share that with others. At the Cape we love to explore the natural beauty and wildlife of the outer Cape dunes.

Why they chose this property

Our house is located in a small collection of houses. There is one street in/out to the whole community and then within the community we are at the end of a dead end street. So there is no through traffic, just residential traffic. Never crowded, always quiet. The location is fantastic as well. We are close to the all that Orleans and the outer Cape have to offer including beaches, town, bike path, shopping. For instance we love the walk to the beach. It goes from a paved road to a dirt road to a sand path over the dunes and you can feel the relaxation setting in more deeply with every step. Plus Skaket is one of THE best beaches on the Cape. It has soft sand; warm, gentle water; a great snack bar; and showers and rest rooms that make it convenient for a day at the beach.

What makes this property unique

This home has a unique feel. Tucked away in a wooded area at the end of a cul-de-sac, the home immediately makes one feel relaxed. Inside, the home has a comfortable, clean, and peaceful feeling. It immediately makes us feel at home, yet away from it all. But I have to say that the spacious yard (part of 1.3 acres of land) creates a feeling that you have really escaped from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The sky is usually a beautiful blue with birds chirping and the occasional turtle passing through. The two porches jut out into the yard so you feel connected with nature and the outdoors even if you are inside the house.
