THE SPACE
Orleans Holiday House is a modern coastal Cape Cod beach retreat in Orleans, Massachusetts, a 5-minute drive to Skaket Beach, an immaculate gem for serene swimming and breathtaking sunsets, and a 7-minute drive to Nauset Beach for Atlantic surf, dunes, and access to longer expanses of the Cape Cod National Seashore.
The beautifully updated 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features a private hot tub and hot/cold outdoor shower, along with central A/C, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a fully stocked chef's kitchen. After the beach, unwind on the deck or pergola patio, then head to the game room for ping pong, foosball, karaoke, and XBOX 360, with seasonal beach gear and yard toys ready in the garage.
Designed with a high-end finish, the home offers 5 bedrooms, with 4 queen beds and 2 twin beds, plus blackout shades, plush mattresses, desks, dressers, quiet sitting areas, and 2 living rooms. The main level is bright and open, with two leather sofas, a Smart TV with Sonos, a dining area that opens onto an oversized deck, and a chef's kitchen with new KitchenAid appliances, quartz countertops, filtered hot- and cold-water, and family-friendly essentials. A second movie room and game area, 2 fireplaces, central A/C, and high-speed Wi-Fi complete the experience.
Outdoor living is a centerpiece. Relax in the private hot tub, gather under the pergola patio with twinkle lights, grill on the Weber, rinse off in the hot-and-cold outdoor shower, and end the evening around the fire pit in Adirondack chairs. Have a traditional clambake delivered to the deck, or book a whale watch from Rock Harbor, five minutes away. For rainy days and after beach hours, the lower-level game room features ping-pong, foosball, karaoke, an XBOX 360, a Smart TV with Sonos, a wine fridge, and a bar sink.
LOCATION
The serene, tree-lined, lush location is incredible, in the center of it all! Holiday House sits on a one-acre wooded lot in a quiet residential cul-de-sac surrounded by year-round Cape Cod neighbors, with quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM, in keeping with the neighborhood's peaceful character. Just steps away from Eldredge Park, along with a playground, skate park, courts, fields, and the Orleans Firebirds baseball field. Charles Moore Ice Rink, Orleans Artists' Village, coffee, dining, and the Cape Cod Rail Trail are walkable, with quick car or bike access to Skaket, Nauset, and Rock Harbor, Nickerson State Park, complementing short rambles to Eastham, Brewster, Chatham, Wellfleet, and Provincetown, depending on where your sunny days take you. Easy Nantucket day trips too: the Freedom Cruise Line fast ferry departs Harwich Port, just 20 minutes away, with free day-tripper parking.
Especially well-suited for: families with infants, kids, and teens, multi-generational groups, sports tournament travelers, and couples seeking privacy.
International travelers welcome. We're happy to provide local transportation guidance and recommendations for Cape Cod.
Included with the stay are 8 complimentary bicycles with helmets and a bike lock, beach gear stocked seasonally, and a full suite of baby amenities, including a Pack N' Play portable crib, bassinet, high chair, gates, stroller, and toys.

Holiday House is fully equipped for guests of all ages, including a portable crib, Pack N' Play, bassinet, high chair, baby bathtub, changing pad, child gates, stroller, kid-friendly dishes, and toys.

Is it good for rainy days or staying in? Yes. The game room includes ping-pong, foosball, karaoke, and an XBOX 360, plus streaming TVs and comfortable lounge seating.
Is there anything to do in the off-season? Yes, it's our favorite time. Fall brings the Outermost Roots and Blues Festival on Nauset Beach, Wellfleet OysterFest, and Cape Cod Restaurant Week; winter brings the Orleans tree lighting, holiday strolls, and quiet beach walks, with the hot tub, two fireplaces, and game room waiting at home. Our 10% discount runs September through December.
Parking? The home has driveway parking for about 2 to 4 cars.
Is EV charging available? Yes. Holiday House offers EV charging as an optional paid add-on. The charger uses a standard J1772 connector. Tesla owners should bring their own J1772 adapter.
Are linens and towels provided? Towels are complimentary, including bath, hand, and washcloths, as well as kitchen linens. Pillows, coverlets, and blankets are also provided on every bed. Guests have two options for sheets and bedding: bring your own (queen and twin sizes), or add our optional Hotel-Quality Linen Package, which includes premium sheets, comforters, duvet covers, and pillowcases, all freshly laundered before arrival. Guests who choose the linen package leave the bedding as is at checkout; no laundering required.
Am I expected to wash towels and blankets during or after my stay? Guests are asked to wash, dry, and neatly return used towels and complimentary throw blankets before checkout. Comforters and bedding from the optional Hotel-Quality Linen Package do not need to be laundered. The home includes a full-size washer, dryer, detergent, and dryer sheets. This helps us maintain quick turnover times and keep cleaning fees low for all guests.

The first-floor primary bedroom and full bath are accessible without stairs. The property does not have wheelchair-accessible entries or ramps. Guests with mobility considerations should plan accordingly.
Is the property quiet? Yes, primarily. Holiday House sits on a one-acre wooded lot in a quiet residential cul-de-sac. The property is close to The Alley, a beloved spot that occasionally hosts acoustic outdoor music on summer evenings, ending by 10:00 PM. The wooded buffer between properties reduces sound carry, and the timing aligns with the property's quiet hours.
Are there security cameras? Yes, five exterior cameras (video and audio) at outside entrances only, as described below. None indoors, and none face the hot tub or outdoor shower.
House rules and amenity guidelines? Full house rules, safety policies, and hot tub and amenity use guidelines are in the Guest Agreement.

The Orleans Holiday House was exceptional! The house is located central to family friendly Skaket and Nauset Beaches. The house is spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you need for a vacation. The hosts are great. They provide organized binders with house instructions, manuals, and info on local restaurants and activities. They are easy to reach and respond quickly. The house itself is set up beautifully and rooms are roomy and comfortable. We had a great time and many family foosball tournaments! And 5 stars for the best outdoor shower on the Cape!
Awesome home to share with a family. The host family have thought of everything and more. From baby and toddler supplies, beach toys,beach chairs beach wagon to carry beach supplies, house towels ,beach towels you hardly need to pack anything but your clothes. Beautiful well stocked kitchen with great appliances. Cozy comfortable home but room to spread out. Everyone can find a private spot when needed. Quiet neighborhood with a great park for kids steps away down the street. The deck is spacious with great outdoor furniture. An additional side sitting area off the deck with comfy seating. We called it our book nook for the readers in the family. The finished basement is great. Loaded with kids toys including blocks and even gaming supplies for the older kids. The location is great. Short 5 minute ride to Skacket Beach. Bicycles for everyone to borrow for the week. Overall the best house anyone could need for the best family vacation. We are already planning our next visit.
Book this house! Went with my two toddlers and family, such a beautiful home with so much to do. Everything you would ever need for the beach available to you…absolute perfect location. Close to everything! Most importantly this home was so clean! Thank you so much Kristian & Justin! We will be back! (:

About the host
Hosted by Kristian & Justin Merenda
Orleans Holiday House is owned and operated by a family who fell in love with the home and have been pouring creativity and care into every corner since. They believe in combining the best of Cape Cod tradition with modern comfort and clear, helpful communication. Whether you're planning your first visit or returning for another stay, they're here to help make your experience a great one.
Why they chose this property
Orleans Holiday House offers everything Cape Cod vacationers seek, just minutes from Nauset and Skaket beaches. The bright, coastal home sleeps up to 10 across five bedrooms, including a lower-level bonus sleeping space, with central air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a fully stocked modern kitchen built for everything from family breakfasts to lobster feasts. Two separate living areas give multi-generational groups and friends room to spread out, and the dedicated game room, with ping pong, foosball, and karaoke, turns rainy days into a highlight. Outdoors, dine on the deck under the stars, linger on the pergola patio beneath twinkle lights, make s'mores at the fire pit, and rinse off sandy toes in the hot-and-cold outdoor shower. Two amenities you'll rarely find on the Cape come standard here: a private hot tub, professionally cleaned before every arrival, and an EV charger (optional add-on). Thoughtful touches run throughout, from plush bedding to curated art. Set on a quiet, kid-friendly cul-de-sac near bike trails, parks, and Orleans' charming downtown, Holiday House pairs Cape Cod character with modern comfort, and hosts who answer quickly and care about the details.
What makes this property unique
A few things set Holiday House apart from other Cape rentals. The private hot tub and Level 2 EV charger are both rarities on the Cape, and the hot tub is professionally cleaned and treated before every arrival. Eight complimentary bikes with helmets and locks mean no rental fees or roof racks, and a full baby suite (Pack N' Play portable crib, bassinet, high chair, gates, stroller, and toys) means families with little ones pack light. The first-floor primary bedroom and full bath work well for guests who prefer to avoid stairs. Sports families choose us for the walk to Nauset High School and Charles Moore Ice Rink during tournament weekends, and the optional Hotel-Quality Linen Package makes fly-in trips and extended stays simple. Add a game room with karaoke, a quiet one-acre cul-de-sac lot, and hosts who respond quickly, and you have a stay that's easy from booking to checkout.
