Modern Cape Escape — A Designer Retreat on the Lower Cape

Sleeps 8 | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Full Bathrooms | Central AC Throughout | 8 Min to Nauset Beach | Entire home — private property, no shared spaces

This is not a typical Cape Cod rental. Modern Cape Escape is a fully renovated, designer-furnished home on a private, wooded property in the heart of Orleans, where the fire pit is lit by evening, the kitchen is stocked with lobster pots and locally-sourced Cape Cod coffee, and the only thing on the schedule is whatever you feel like doing.

With 90+ five-star reviews and a near-perfect rating, this is one of the most consistently loved vacation homes on the Lower Cape. Guests return year after year, and once you stay, you will understand why.

THE OUTDOOR SPACES

The real heart of this home is outside. Two distinct outdoor zones give your group room to spread out:

• Private brick patio with full outdoor dining for 8, premium gas grill, lounge seating, and a Bluetooth outdoor speaker, sunny from morning into late afternoon, perfect for grilling fresh seafood from the Orleans market.

• Separate fire pit area with Adirondack chairs for 6, surrounded by Cape Cod hydrangeas and towering pines. S'mores supplies, roasting sticks, and fire tools are all provided — restocked for every stay.

• Outdoor shower — the ideal ending to a beach day. Guests call it a favorite every summer.

• Lawn games including cornhole, bocce ball, croquet, badminton, and Spikeball.

THE KITCHEN — Genuinely the Best on the Cape

Guests who love to cook consistently describe this as the best-equipped vacation kitchen they have ever used. Everything you need is here:

• Chef's kitchen with stainless farmhouse sink, KitchenAid stand mixer, food processor, blender, and lobster pots — yes, lobster pots.
• Premium electric range, KitchenAid dishwasher, full cookware, sharp knives, and a stovetop griddle.

• Cape Cod coffee bar: locally-sourced Lighthouse Coffee beans, full tea selection, French press, and a curated pantry stocked with Old Bay seasoning, clam juice, fresh herbs, and an oyster shucker in the utensil drawer (this is Cape Cod, after all).

• Open-concept layout means the cook is always part of the conversation. The island seats 4 at the breakfast bar while you prep.

THE LIVING SPACES

The open-concept main floor flows from the kitchen through the dining area (seats 8) into the living room, all flooded with natural light from large Cape Cod windows. A fireplace, wall-mounted TV, and comfortable seating make this the natural gathering place for movie nights and game nights alike. A full closet stocked with board games, puzzles, and coloring books — kids claim this room immediately.

The formal living room (the bold navy room) is a separate space off the main area with its own TV and pull-out sofa. Remote workers close the door and disappear into it for the week.

THE BEDROOMS — Sleeps 8 Comfortably

• Master Bedroom (main floor): King bed, wingback reading chair, wide-plank hardwood floors, large closet. Direct access to the main bathroom.

• Bedroom 2 (upstairs): King bed + trundle bed — perfect for a couple traveling with a child, or three guests. Private yard views.

• Bedroom 3 (upstairs): Two twin beds, trundle bed & skylight — enchanting for kids, who love falling asleep under the stars.

• Formal living room pull-out sofa provides additional sleeping space if needed.

THE BATHROOMS

Both bathrooms are clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with shampoo, conditioner, soap, and fresh towels, everything you need for a relaxing stay. One steps from the master bedroom on the first floor; the second sits between the upstairs bedrooms.

THE REC ROOM

Don't let the unfinished basement fool you — it's clean, dry, and well-lit, and it punches above its weight. Ping pong, foosball, and shuffleboard are all set up and ready to play, making it a go-to rainy-day escape for kids and adults alike. It's also a handy spot to stash luggage and beach gear out of the way.
