Please be aware that we provide comfortable beds for our guests with quilts, blankets and pillows. We are unable, however, to provide sheets and towels, but can provide a listing of local companies that rent out linens.
Close to everything!!: Walking distance to casual and fine dining, coffee houses (the Hot Chocolate Sparrow is a 5 minute walk), galleries, shops, the Cape Cod Bike Trail (.2 miles), and Rock Harbor (.7 miles). Short drive to Skaket Beach (1 mile to the bayside beach) and Nauset Beach (3 miles to the National Seashore - on the ocean side). The Nauset Beach, part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, was voted one of the most beautiful beaches in America.
Many things to do!!: The National Seashore Center in Eastham offers many programs for families, as well as the Audubon Center in Wellfleet. Several Summer Playhouses offer theater which changes on a weekly basis, such as the Academy Playhouse in Orleans, the Dennis Playhouse, the Wellfleet Harbor Actor's Theatre (WHAT). There is a Farmer's Market on Saturday morning in Orleans (a short walk from the house and next to the Hot Chocolate Sparrow), and frequent Art Shows. There are weekly summer band concerts at Nauset Beach, and surrounding towns, and for the kids (big and small) there is mini- golf located nearby. For sports fans, the Orleans Fire Birds, a Summer Cape League Baseball Team, plays regular games about one mile away. Rock Harbor offers deep sea fishing adventures and there is surf fishing at Nauset Beach. Whale watching is a popular activity leaving for Stellwagen Banks from Provincetown. And, finally, the Cape is a bird watcher's paradise!
Please be aware that weather/storm refunds are not offered. Please arrange for vacation insurance for storm protection, if desired.
During the high summer months of July and August, please make your reservations for one or two weeks at a time, Saturday to Saturday. During June or September, longer or shorter periods of time are welcome.

About the host
Hosted by Nicki Fitzgerald
We love the Cape and vacationed here with our family for many years before buying our home in Orleans. We love so many things the Cape offers: the beautiful beaches for swimming, relaxing on the sand and great walks along the shore, the delicious seafood available and so many more things. It's a fun place to explore and we learn something new each time we come down.
Why they chose this property
We looked at many properties before settling on Rock Harbor Retreat. My husband and I walked in the front door, looked around and said, "This is the one!" The house felt like a vacation home and conveyed a sense of relaxation. It felt like a place we could relax, have fun with our family and friends and enjoy for many years.
What makes this property unique
Through the years we have enjoyed the location, being so close to town, but yet in a private setting. It is also very convenient to have so many services available nearby. We find just about everything we need right here in Orleans. The milder Cape weather and longer growing season than iwhere we live in Concord, New Hampshire allows us to enjoy a much longer gardening season.
