Executive Waterfront Luxury Estate; Heated Pool; 6000 Sq.ft.
East Orleans Vacation Rental - ID 14224

We just spent a great week at Blue Waters. It was our first vacation with our new granddaughter and the entire family loved the house and its location. Alex's listing was accurate, the home was clean and Alex stayed in touch with us during our stay. Highly recommended.

The property and house is everything that's advertised. It's absolutely beautiful and the house is in great condition. The heated pool was great and you could stare at the views of the ocean all day. It was a quick drive to nearby restaurants, shopping and grocery stores, which made it very easy to go out when we wanted or needed. We had a great week at the house and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great vacation on the Cape!

We had the good fortune to stay at Blue Waters from the 20th – 27th, July 2019. The house is very impressive and in one of the best locations we have ever stayed. On arrival we were immediately struck by the absolutely fabulous views over the inlet and out to the ocean beyond. It actually took us a while to unload the cars because we all just stood in the garden and by the pool to take in the view!

There were 15 in our group, a mixture of adults and teenagers and there was plenty of accommodations to suit everyone's needs. The house itself has absolutely everything you could possibly require for a vacation with a group of this size. It was really refreshing for us all to be able to sit together at the huge dining table and have dinner together. The house is really well laid out and lends itself to a sociable relaxed vibe. If the teenagers weren't in or by the pool, they were playing pool or hanging out in the den. For the adults there were quiet spots to read, walk and go for that early morning jog!

One of the real highlights was the upper level roof terrace. At sunrise, sunset or anytime in between it really is an absolutely superb spot to just take in the view, relax and enjoy probably one of the best vistas of any home on the Cape. A truly great holiday destination."

We just had a glorious week enjoying the incredible views, the majestic house and pool, and of course the natural beauty of the Cape. We have rented our fair share of properties on the Cape, and this by far was our best experience all around. Even though after seeing the photos our expectations were high, and I am pleased to say they were met and exceeded.

The house had everything we needed and the owner couldn't have been more agreeable, helpful and accessible. Highly recommended!!

We gathered here to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. We were a total of 16 people that included my 80 yr old mom, my 2 sisters and our families, which included children from the ages of 25 - 10 and one 1 yr-old. The house is just as it is described. The view is magnificent!! As you can imagine, everyone really enjoyed the pool. We also rented a kayak and a canoe, which were delivered and picked up right from the property for a small fee. But you have to watch the tide when you go in the water.

We also had a chef (recommended by the owner) come in and cook a surprise surf and turf dinner for my mom's birthday, which she absolutely loved! We loved that we could all sit at the table together for meals. And play bingo and card games at night. The main floor is spacious enough that you never feel cramped or on top of each other. The roof top deck is absolutely stunning! I woke up every morning to catch the sunrise and listen to the birds. It's a great place for a multi-generational vacation. We could cook when we wanted, having 2 of every appliance was great. And we could go out when we wanted. There were plenty of restaurants close by. I think we visited Sundae School almost every night for ice cream.

The elevator would be great for people with disabilities. You can go from the ground floor where the pool is, all the way up to the floor where the roof top deck is. What a wonderful way to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday!! I would definitely recommend this house for a large family gathering of all ages! show more show less

This is the nicest house we've ever rented, and is perfect for family gatherings. It has everything. The views from throughout the house and the deck and pool area are spectacular. There are two large suites that each have amazing views, and the deck off of the master suite is incredible. There are a number of different gathering areas both inside and out. The heated pool, with automatic cover, is perfect for the whole family. The private dock allowed us to take the kids fishing. We enjoyed watching the two swans come near the property. Our kids enjoyed the billiard table. The kitchen has two refrigerator/freezers, two stoves and two dishwashers, which would be great if someone was having a large party.

The house is very private, and you can hear the ocean in the distance, and the birds chirping during the day. It's also very close to Nauset Farms market, where you can get great produce, meats and baked goods. Orleans is a perfect family vacation spot, with easy access to both Nauset Beach and the low tide at Skaket Beach, where the kids can play in the tide pools. The owner was very responsive to our questions. Overall, an amazing place for a family get-away. It would also be great for larger parties, as the house could comfortably accommodate two families. show more show less

We spent five days here recently with several family members to celebrate our 50th anniversary. First, I must comment on the view, which is sublime and peaceful, and enjoyed from most rooms. It is the perfect place to relax, meditate or do yoga. Those with a keen eye will notice varied wildlife on the property and across the inlet. The rooftop deck was great for sharing an early morning cup of coffee, a sundowner, and for stargazing. The heated pool was enjoyed by all, since the ocean water was still on the cool side. The elevator is a great convenience for those who have mobility issues, as were the two dishwashers, two refrigerators and the washer and dryers. The screen porch is perfect for a meal anytime. The master-bath shower is a must-try, with all its spray options. The pool table in the lower level provided evening fun.
We found the owner pleasant, helpful and accommodating. One big regret….that we couldn’t stay longer.

My husband and I, our two children, and their families (twelve in all, with ages spanning from 14 months to 78 years) converged on Blue Waters from NM, CO, and PA, and spent ten days in late June savoring the well-appointed house, the incredible location, and the beauty and ambiance that Cape Cod offers. With a toddler and young children to keep track of, we wanted to be able to enjoy being together at the house without having to travel for our entertainment. Blue Waters was perfect for us! The owner responded promptly to questions and remedied our few minor concerns (such as a delayed recycle pick-up) promptly.

With big windows throughout the house, we were treated to an incredibly beautiful view regardless of the weather or time of day. The attractive and comfortable bedrooms allowed the adults their own space while our teens enjoyed the futons in the area off the game room. The two refrigerators, two ovens, and two dishwashers that had sounded like overkill to me when I read the write-up proved to be invaluable, and as promised in the description, the kitchen was well equipped—plenty of dishware, glassware, silverware, and large pots for cooking our lobster dinner and corn on the cob for twelve. Everyone fit comfortably at the table, but perhaps because it was glass, meals still felt reasonably cozy.

One would think a heated pool an unnecessary luxury with ocean, bay, and lake swimming so nearby, but the pool added immensely to our enjoyment of our stay. (It seemed to have a salt-water purification system, a pleasant surprise.) On a few occasions, all of us got in the pool and cross-generational water gun fights erupted. But at least some of us, in various combinations, were in the pool everyday. While two or more of us would be out kayaking on Pochet Inlet in the two kayaks we rented, others would be playing in the pool. The kayakers would usually take a swim when they returned and the pre-teens would have been in the pool the whole time.

Waterfront access was a huge plus. The swans pictured on the website visited the dock almost every day. While kayaking early one morning, four of us got within ten feet of an egret and watched in awe as it consumed breakfast. Another day, we explored the next inlet over and saw a turtle and an occupied osprey nest. We did enjoy the ocean and bay beaches and did some fun excursions, too. But Blue Waters was our center, our "home," and it was idyllic. We hope to return someday. show more show less

We rented this house in mid-September and it was all we hoped for and more! The house is beautiful and well kept and was great for our multi-generational family visit! The owner was a delight, very responsive and informative and provided great additional suggestions when we inquired about dietary restrictions and dining in the area. An absolute delight all around!

The architecture of this house provides so many environments that there are plenty of quiet spots, and also ample sharing space to gather together. The great room had our favorite jig-saw puzzle table and reading chairs. The heated swimming pool and large deck, with its lovely, breezy, shaded sitting area at one end was a favorite day-time hangout; then some went to the beach in the late afternoons for sand castles and boogey boarding. The elevator allowed my 96yo mom to move around independently with ease.

Our favorites: internet access throughout; biking to the beach (courteous and bicycle-aware drivers); spectacular star gazing on the roof deck; feeding the swans; renting kayaks to explore this large and complex inlet; swimming in the heated pool; watching a doe and her fawn feeding across the inlet; bird-watching (humming birds loved the beautiful bushes all around the yard); Cape Cod League baseball games; the peace and tranquility of the inlet. The house is beautiful: soothing color scheme, beautiful light fixtures, open layout of the common areas. A secluded spot was easily found whenever you wanted one. The multiple a/c zones throughout the house were appreciated; mom could keep her suite as warm as she liked! My granddaughters loved their easy access up the outside spiral staircase to the roof deck and their room. The boys enjoyed the billiard room. My son-in-law and granddaughter serenaded us playing the electronic keyboard. The screened-in porch became my husband's man-cave. Those who cooked were delighted with all the cooking and prep space, high quality pots, pans, dishes, serving dishes and utensils. Cleaning up with 2 dishwashers was very quick & easy. Everyone’s least favorite thing: having to go home.

What would I do differently? Bring no food or water; pack fewer clothes, and bring more binoculars. There are 2 nearby supermarkets plus several fresh produce & fish markets and bakeries. The highly-rated Zia’s pizza shop even created a dairy-free pizza for us. The house's tap water was very soft and palatable, and the automatic ice cube dispensers were well used. 2 clothes washers/driers = smaller suitcases!

Our family reunion with 12 people, allowing my mom to revel in being with most of her great-grandchildren was enhanced and enriched by this beautiful setting.

Life is about building memories; this is a great place to do that.
This house and its beautiful surroundings will become your definition of paradise.
