About the host
Hosted by John Joseph
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.
