Description

Description

This recently renovated and lovingly restored 1940's cottage is within walking distance of Smitty’s Ice Cream, Nauset Farms and East Orleans. Bike to Nauset Beach or head into Orleans for great coffee at the Chocolate Sparrow, or for shopping, restaurants and playgrounds. The Orleans Firebirds baseball team, part of the historic Cape Cod Baseball League, plays other Cape teams nearby at Eldredge Park. The Cape Cod Rail Trail goes through the center of Orleans, and you can rent bikes for the day or week.

The main living and kitchen area is bright and airy. The kitchen has french doors that open up to a cheerful and roomy screened porch for dining and relaxing, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor living and dining area.

Our home has three charming bedrooms and two full baths. Each bedroom has its own unique character. There is a spacious master suite with a brass queen bed, ceiling fan, tv, walk-in closet, and private bath with a soaking tub. There is another bedroom with a double bed, and a third bedroom with two single beds and large windows that open onto the screened porch. Amenities include quiet yard, screened porch, TV, wi-fi, charcoal grill, and outdoor shower.

The property is on a quiet street and surrounded by woods on two sides and an open field on the other side. There is a spacious side lawn for enjoying outdoor games and activities.

You have your choice of two wonderful beaches close by: Nauset Beach on the ocean side if you want waves, or Skaket Beach on the bayside is popular for families with younger children. The cottage is about halfway between the two beaches. Charter fishing is available in Rock Harbor. Various seal watching and sunset cruises are also available and a whale watching trip out of Provincetown is an amazing experience.

Pillows and bedspreads are provided. Renters are responsible to bring their own sheets and towels. There is not a washer and dryer but there is a laundromat nearby.

    Great Stay

    Had a last minute need for a stay in Orleans. The Summer House couldn't have been more perfect. The owner, Jim, was super accommodating and made sure everything was smooth as can be. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    Immaculately Clean and Accommodating Cottage

    This cottage was perfect for our family of 5, and we had a wonderful week because of it! We were greeted at check-in, the cottage was unbelievably clean, and the fresh flowers were a welcome greeting! With having 3 children, I'm a bit of a neat freak (and by bit, I mean big time!) so it takes a lot to impress me in this area. I knew right away that the cottage wasn't cleaned by a cleaning service--way to thorough of a job--and I was right, the owner cleans it from top to bottom which means I could relax from the moment I got there instead of doing a "follow-up" clean job. The location was great with many options for dining, walking, shopping, etc. along with easy access to Nauset beach or anywhere in the area. When we weren't beaching it, we spent our time in the amazing outdoor shower and on the screened porch. We read out there, played cards out there, and even did family puzzles together out there. The back yard is very private as well with lots of space for running around. The kitchen is on the smaller side, but they've done a great job with the space. There is not a dishwasher or washer/dryer and the fridge/freezer is on the smaller side which impacted us slightly, but not enough to not come back. Enjoy your time--we can't wait to go back! show more show less

    Lovely Stay

    We had a great time during our week in Orleans. Jim's place is a charming updated Cape cottage with a dreamy screened-in porch. We loved that porch and spent a lot of time chatting, drinking lemonade and eating out there. The location is super for quick walks to Nauset Farms, the Rail for a yummy brunch, and just a 5-10 minute drive to Nauset beach. Jim was very responsive when we had questions and made everything go smoothly. We did miss having more channels on the tv as some pretty major world events happened during our stay, but all-in-all we had a great time and the place is immaculate. show more show less

    What a Charming Cottage!

    This was the absolute perfect little cottage for my husband and I traveling with my parents for a week. There was plenty of space and even an extra bedroom should we need it. We loved the covered screened in porch where many cool evenings we shared dinner or played Scrabble. The photos don't even do the cottage justice. It is immaculate and there is so much attention to design. I just love the owner's style! Pinterest worthy :-) We enjoyed walks to town. Fave spots were The Whisk for breakfast, Smitty's for homemade ice cream and Nauset Farms for a great local market and sandwiches to take to the beach. Jim even loaned us his beach chairs and checked in to see how we were doing. Really thoughtful hosts. We will definitely return. Highly recommended and we just loved the town of Orleans - you have beautiful beaches and less busy than Chatham. Great restaurants without all the crowds and nice to be convenient to most of the Cape. show more show less

    Great Spot

    A restful week at a quintessential Cap Cod summer house. Located on a quiet street, the cool breezes flowed through the house a night making for great sleeping. A wonderful back porch where we spent most of our time. Birds, bunnies and some friendly turkeys roamed the back yard and the bees and butterflies spent lots of time in the well manicured garden.
    The house was spotless when we arrived and the owners were very responsive. They checked in once or twice to make sure everything was going well. Plenty of parking and all the amenities one needs to have a great vacation. show more show less

    My Happy Place

    This little cottage is even better in person! It has been thoughtfully and beautifully restored by its owners, Jim and Barbara. A lot of love, and excellent work is evident throughout. It's the perfect place to rest and be restored. We would LIVE here if I could!
    It's easy to get to, in a quiet neighborhood and within easy reach of many good restaurants, the Playhouse and lovely beaches.

    This was our second year in a row at this beautiful, peaceful abode. We enjoyed many relaxing mornings and evenings on the porch. Our kids loved running around in the yard and walking to Smitty's for ice cream. Many memories were made. We hope to come back again next year! Much appreciated.

    Great Rental

    We have stayed in this cottage for several years now. it is located in a quiet , woodsy , and private neighborhood. It is within easy walking distance from restaurants, a grocery store, and great ice cream stand. Nausett beach is a short bike ride around the corner. The Atlantic Play House for summer stock is right around the corner and we have been treated to the likes of; "Guys and Dolls" and "Oklahoma". If you are a fisherman either shore or boat their are many places to go. The yard is super boat friendly with a hose nearby. show more show less

    Beautiful cape house!

    My family and I had the pleasure of staying in Jim and Barbara's beautiful (and VERY clean) home a few weeks ago. It was absolutely charming and also so on trend - a hard combination to pull off but they did it with this house! It had everything we needed and the attention to detail on the decor (ie: the fresh hydrangea in a vase to welcome us) did not go unnoticed. We loved the screened in porch and spent our mornings and evenings enjoying it! We walked to Whisk (great breakfast and treats), Smittys (terrific ice cream) and Nauset Farms! Being a runner I really loved the running routes around their home. Orleans is charming and picturesque! We hope to come back to this home next summer! show more show less

    Jim and Barbara have spent four years lovingly restoring this classic 1941 Cape Cod cottage.

    We added a 300 square foot master bedroom and bath addition, and totally renovated the original 600 square foot cottage.

    The interior walls are done in 1 X 8 ship lap pine boards, identical to the original exterior wall construction. All the ceilings except for the vaulted master bedroom are done in 1 X 6 pine bead-board. All walls were painstakingly spackled, sanded and hand-painted by Barbara, using Benjamin Moore Simply White, which gives the entire cottage a bright, crisp appearance.

    Each room has its own distinctive identity and features, from the built-ins to the custom windows and furnishings. The cottage sits on a very quiet half acre, surrounded by woods and a daily chorus of birds. Our quiet street feels as though it has more people walking or biking than cars, which adds to the quiet and peaceful setting.

    When they're not working on the cottage, Jim is a local real estate attorney and Barbara is a pediatric nurse. They also have five grown children and six young grandsons to try to keep track of.

    What is special about this property?
    Our cottage is unique in retaining the character and authenticity of the original 1941 cottage, while giving it the brightness and light of a new home. The original floors were sanded and refinished, which gives the cottage the amazing warmth of old pine. Adding larger and windows and french doors onto the screen porch give the cottage a light, outside feel.

    Sitting on a quiet lot surrounded by woods and an empty field always accompanied by a chorus of birds gives the cottage the sense of peacefulness and privacy.

    What is special about your town?
    Orleans is one of the most desireable towns on Cape Cod. Close to wonderful beaches and lakes for swimming, surfing, fishing and kayaking, many fabulous restaurants and coffee shops, shopping, bike rentals, access to the Cape Cod Rail Trail and nightly Cape League baseball games make Orleans a great place to vacation.
