Bay/Marsh Front, Gorgeous views, Walk to Skaket Beach
Orleans Vacation Rental - ID 28723

This house is absolutely beautiful. The view is incredible, it's impeccably clean and well stocked, and the walk to the beach is only about 10 minutes. The hosts were also very responsive and helpful. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. It was so hard to leave!

We had a wonderful stay in this house. We loved the sunroom on the back of the house that overlooks the marsh with views of the water. We had some nice dinners on the back deck as the sun was setting. Our kids loved walking to the beach on the path through the woods- it was amazing to exit the wooded path out to an open view of the beach- we had a great morning walk from the house to the beach to collect shells and walk through the tidal pools. We also loved walking over to Skaket beach (from the private beach that you exit out onto)- our kids loved swimming in the clear water. The house had all the amenities- kitchen is amazing, bedrooms were very nice. The owners were responsive and easy to work with. I would highly recommend staying here.

We spent a wonderful week at this gorgeous home at the beginning of August. We arrived around 5 p.m. and walked into a magical glow over the marsh streaming in through the sunroom and living room windows. The house was perfect, in fact, it has had a chef's dream kitchen renovation since these photos were taken and many rooms have been repainted and refreshed.

We found the home perfectly comfortable with air conditioners in each room so everyone could control their own level of air, lots of seating, comfy beds, two full bathrooms and extras like board games, cornhole and beach chairs. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, etc and it was a nice surprise to find dish soap and basic spices that we could use. There were good tvs and cable but we really didn't turn them on, too much to see and do. We rented our linens using the company suggested and they were waiting for us when we arrived and we left them out front when we departed. It was very easy. The laundry machines in the house were new and large.

We were three generations (the youngest are teenagers) and we found we had lots of options for sleeping. A few things to note about the layout of the house. The room with the pull-out sofa is on the main level off the living room, kind of like a den. Lots of privacy for someone should they want it. The master bedroom was enormous and spanned the width of the house giving it street and marsh views. It had a door directly into the shared upstairs bathroom. The bedroom with the queen bed is at the back overlooking the marsh and very comfortable. The twin room was at the front of the house and also had the laundry in it. You have to walk through this room to get to the large bonus room that had a king sized bed and a set of bunkbeds. This was not a problem for us, the teens felt they had their own wing.

The location of the home is spectacular. You can look out over the marsh and see the ocean. There was always some sort of wildlife to watch on the marsh, the changing tides and people walking their dogs on the beach in the distance all provided great entertainment. The home is at the end of a cul de sac so there is no car traffic at all, it was so quiet. We walked to the beach every day. It is a short walk to the private beach entrance and it felt like we had it to ourselves a lot of the time. The beach is perfect for families with very small waves and huge swings in the tides.

My husband and son took full advantage of the kayaks at the house. They would walk out the back door, across the lawn and enter the marsh at high tide and paddle out to the ocean. It was spectacular.

This really was a gem and we hope we can return. Our hosts were so helpful and we could easily reach them should we have needed to.

We had a wonderful week at this beautiful home. It is very spacious, well maintained, in a very quiet area of Orleans, and equipped with anything you could possibly need. It is very convenient to the beach, town, shops & restaurants. The owners are very accommodating, helpful and quick to answer any questions you may have. The views and sunsets are amazing. If you're looking for a rental in Orleans, we would highly recommend staying here.

My family and I spent a wonderful week in this lovely home in Orleans. The home is spacious, well appointed, and well maintained. Every part of the home is comfortable and clean. All of the conveniences you may need on vacation (laundry room, outdoor shower, working WIFI, air conditioning, etc.) are all here in this home located with spectacular views of the marsh and sunsets to write home about. The home is located on a private street so there is no noise from cars and no traffic.
We certainly will be return guests!!

The location of this home is key, and the view from the house/back porch onto the marsh and bay is incredible. We were two families with 3 kids all under six years old and all had a great time. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The kids enjoyed the bonus room downstairs that had games and space for them to play. We enjoyed lawn games in the yard and grilling in the evenings, and walking to the lovely bay beach along the quiet paths during the day. The outdoor shower was so nice after the beach.

The homeowners were easy to communicate with, accurate in the descriptions of the home, and have some great tips about the area. We would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at this home. The home had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay for our family and the location was fantastic - being a short walk to a less crowded area than Skaket Beach. The house was very comfortable for our family and we hope to be able to stay again in the future!

It is our second year renting this property and once again we had a relaxing and rejuvenating week.

The property was spotlessly clean on arrival and the owners had thoughtfully provided ample wipes, sanitizer, masks etc. The property is comfortably furnished and has a beach cottage vibe. The kitchen is particularly well supplied. The backyard is nicely landscaped and maintained.

The neighborhood is blissfully quiet punctuated only by the sound of birds and the marsh winds. It is a real plus being able to walk or kayak to Skaket beach where the water is tempting and clear. The sunsets from the back deck are unbelievable.

It would be easy to spend the week on the deck drinking in the amazing vista but in addition to Skaket and Nauset beaches Nickerson State Park is definitely worth a trip for hiking, biking and lake swimming. We were regulars at the Hot Chocolate Sparrow for our morning coffee and at the Ice Cream Cafe for our evening desert.

Thanks to the owners for sharing their wonderful home.

Our family and extended family of 10 stayed during a week in July. The house was perfect for us. It's located back off of a gravel road out of the way of traffic with lots or yard space for our young kids. The week was hot but the house stayed more than comfortable, even with 10 people, with the A/C units. The beach was easily walkable or canoeable during high tide which kept the kids busy for a good portion of the day. Homeowners were great to deal with and very accommodating with everything.

3 generations of our family--from young adult to grandmother--fully enjoyed this wonderful house! Beautiful location, with views of the marsh that changed with the tides and the weather. Spacious, well-equipped house. Owners were lovely to deal with.

We especially appreciated being able to walk to Skaket beach, through quiet local streets, and the use of the canoe and kayak to navigate to the beach at high tide. We had most dinners on the deck with beautiful sunset views. We hope to be back!

We just returned from our vacation at this wonderful property and had a fabulous time! It had room for all of us and was well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Clean, felt like home, and there was so much to do!

The neighborhood is a nature lover's dream-woodsy and private with unpaved roads and the house itself is on a nice open lot with a great yard!

The view from the backyard is absolutely beautiful and is the highlight of the property. We all could not get over this view! You can see the marsh lead right to Cape Cod Bay and it changes with the tides, offering so many things to see. Bring binoculars or use the ones provided.

The sunroom and deck were our favorite spots (love the option of the high top seats!). We enjoyed morning coffee there while listening to the birds and looking at the marsh & ocean. We also had evening dinners there while watching the breathtaking sunsets.

There are gorgeous views from almost every room! The kids adored the bonus room & all fit there comfortably. With their own tv & WiFi connection, we barely saw them in the hours or so after the beach & before dinner-which was a nice time for us adults to prep dinner and enjoy a little happy hour on the deck.

We were all back together again for dinner, sunsets, games & puzzles. They had a blast!

We took a fun canoe & kayak trip down the creek to the private beach. It felt like we were on our own private island out there. Just walk a few steps from the little backyard dock at high tide & you can launch the canoe or kayak-both generously provided by the owners (thank you!). Be sure to time the tides carefully and both go and return during high tide or you may run out of creek water until the next tide. You could always walk back, but we enjoyed the canoe & kayak.

We loved being so close to Skaket Beach-the tidal flats at low tide go out for about a mile-and we all had fun looking for crabs, walking to the edge of the ocean, playing in the sandbars and just relaxing in the tranquil setting. If waves are more your thing (which for our kiddos they are after a day on the bay side), head over to Nauset Beach on the ocean side. The kids all loved boogie boarding and riding those famous Cape waves! It was great to have both options so close.

Shaws Supermarket is right up the road a bit for groceries and there are close options for ice cream & restaurants. We didn't need to travel far for anything.

Another highlight was going to Rock Harbor-on Wednesday nights, a steel drum band plays as the sun is going down-what a treat!

Great house, easy communication with owners & a wonderful location for a cape Cod getaway!

AWESOME!!!
This was a beautiful location in Orleans. The home was clean, spacious and comfortable for the whole family. Very close to restaurants, beach and bike paths! Loved the air conditioning too, a real plus. We will certainly recommend this to friends and family. Can't wait to go back!!

Its all about the view! Oh ya, the house is wonderful too.
Near all Orleans has to offer, yet hidden away on a quiet bay-side lane. Once we pulled in to the drive we didn't have or want to get in the car again. The house is spacious nicely appointed and the march/beach/bay views are spectacular and ever changing with the moods of the day. Its a pleasant walk to the beach through a woodsy pathway. We just loved our stay on Marshwind!

What a spot!!!
Beautiful view and amazing house! What more can you ask for? Cape Cod living at it's finest! Will definitely be going back this summer.

Stunning home in Orleans!!
Absolutely the best location in Orleans! House was clean and spacious. We were 4 adults 4 teenagers and 3 young children. We fit beautifully. We brought a portable fire pit and enjoyed a fire on the beach at sunset. We had dinner on the deck enjoying amazing sunsets. We biked on the bike path to Coast guard beach. Paddleboarded at Skaket and all used floats, so relaxing. Body surfed at Nauset and enjoyed Liam's for dinner right at the beach. Crystal Lake is a short drive away and in the afternoon is a great find for floats and paddle boards as well. Every morning we walked a 2 mile loop along the beach and back. Definitely use the sandy path out to the beach! (There is a map in blue book) We still found time for a night at the drive in down in Wellfleet! As well as a day in Ptown where some of the older kids were able to catch a ferry back home.. This property was hands down THE BEST PROPERTY we have stayed at. Bike path access, ocean and bay beaches, lakes, supermarket and coffee shop all within 5 minutes of house. Clearly we didn't want to ever leave!!! Hope you enjoy as much as we did!!! PS USE THE OUTDOOR SHOWER!!! Vacation is not complete without it!!
