Perfect family vacation

pecks way in Orleans was the perfect location for a cape stay. Felt so secluded in the quiet woods yet only minutes from town and close to the national seashore. Will definitely look for this property to rent again!

Excellent location, in particular if you enjoy convenient access to the water for kayaks or other water craft. Arey's Pond is not a swimmable body of water. The house was very well appointed overall - great kitchen amenities (incl very good appliances), nice linens (esp. towels) and A/C units if needed. Also a nice, private location at the end of a long dirt driveway. Bonus is the adjacent conservation area (12 acres) that was originally part of the Peck property. The family obviously still cares about the property, having been there since 1950. The VueStay folks were responsive when needed, which was much appreciated. The one ding was the cleanliness is a few places; porch area had a lot of cob webs, grill was a bit of a mess, the mini-split filters on the inside unit were very dirty (we cleaned them). Kitchen, baths, and much of the remaining house and property were clean and in good condition. The house would sleep up to 8 comfortably. We highly recommend staying here, even with the higher cost of being on the water (the Cape in general is quite expensive these days).

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review. We're delighted the location worked beautifully for your water access, and that the kitchen, linens, and A/C kept you comfortable throughout your stay. It's wonderful to hear you appreciated the private setting and the adjacent conservation area as well. We appreciate you noting the areas where cleanliness fell short, particularly the porch, grill, and filters. That falls short of the standard we hold, and our housekeeping and maintenance teams have been notified to give those spaces closer attention. Your feedback helps us continue to improve the experience for guests who come after you. We'd love to host you again whenever your travels bring you back to the Cape. The VueStay Team

Property had a really nice view and was very private. But the listing was mistaken in indicating that there was a kayak and canoe available.

Amazing!!!!

Very nature-y amazing property with kayak to use on a beautiful pond. We were a group of 6 friends and had so much fun with the boats. Really nice beaches 10-15 min away. Would definitely recommend.

Peaceful seclusion

You can feel the warm family vibe from this throwback home on a pond. Well, pond is a bit of a misnomer, it’s actually connected to the ocean and we enjoyed seeing the seals playing and hunting for fish in water.

Cozy and quiet for a relaxing vacation!

We stayed for a week to attend our nephew's wedding in Orleans.The cabin was perfect! Very neat and clean, quiet surroundings, and lovely view of sailboats on Arey's Pond. There were 4 of us for the entire week, with 2 more coming later in the week. Plenty of bedrooms and eating areas! We all loved the rustic atmosphere and being surrounded by trees. In addition, it was close to our other relatives and easy to drive to Hyannis and Provincetown. Highly recommend for a family or couple who want to visit Cape Cod and environs. Very responsive and welcoming owners, too!

Great rental and super location!

My husband and I had a fantastic 2 week vacation in Sept. 2010 here. The house is roomy, very clean and well equipped, with great views of the pond. We really enjoyed having dinner on the screened-in porch and watching the sun set. The location is wonderful, right on Arey's Pond - lovely and quiet. It was the ideal location for us as we had just purchased a tandem kayak, so launching was a breeze right from the yard! We will definitely return, and I highly recommend this rental. The owners are really nice too. Thanks for sharing your great place with us! Lisa & Tom

Beautiful secret hideaway

This place felt magical! An updated but simple house with everything you need. The screened porch, the cozy living room, the view of the pond with all the boats, seals in the pond... It was amazing. Thank you for sharing your place with us. By the way, though, Google maps doesn't *exactly* know how to find it. You have to go a bit beyond where it says, then turn right and right again to find it.

Perfect Cape Escape

We loved our stay on Arey's Pond. The house is adorable and equipped with just about everything you need for a Cape stay (including a massive lobster pot). The bedroom set-up is great and fit our two families comfortably. We used the screened in porch every night to be outside but away from the inevitable bugs. The kayak was a bonus and the location is idyllic, away from it all, but a short drive to beaches and shops. Only recommendation is to get a window a/c unit for the twin bedroom upstairs. On warm nights, it gets pretty hot up there (despite any breeze off the pond). 5 stars nonetheless.

Cape home on Arey's Pond

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was older than anticipated. The bathrooms were very nice. I think I over paid for what we got. The view was nice. The screened porch was filthy and also needs a paint job. I had to call the rental place and they were very responsive . They came and power washed the porch for me.

Overpriced misleading listing

Book it if you want to spoil your vacation. Property is located next to a lake but there is no real access - overgrown grass and bushes, rotten wood and garbage in some spots. Owner confirmed double kayak availability - none was available (~$100 to rent for a few hours). Yard isn't taken care for long time, no pavement, it's just dirty sand in which rainwater made tranches. Unpaved road to the house is riddled with big puddles and overgrown bushes on each side (scratched the car in one spot). Garbage wasn't remove from a few last vacationers. House looks like it's about to fall apart - rotten exterior and mossed roof. Two out of 4 bedroom had no AC, we were "lucky" to have only 2 hot days, otherwise there were very hoot. No curtains on the windows make rooms looks naked and uncomfortable. Most importantly, property is listed for sale and the owner is just taking advantage of the price hike this year. Property manager, Vacasa, if very hard to reach and just useless when I did get in touch. Stay away from this wreck.
