Description

Description

This bright and open 3-bedroom cottage is located on a private tree-lined sandy road in a neighborhood of lovely homes. Location offers quick access to bay and ocean beaches, the bike trail, and all the wonderful restaurants and stores in quaint Orleans. This home has only been rented for 3 seasons and is newly and tastefully furnished and fully stocked. A refreshing outdoor shower, and a beautiful landscaped yard with a stone patio, propane fire pit table, a lazy-day hammock and a small dry former cranberry bog (a treat for bird-watchers) contribute to a memorable Cape vacation!

No need to purchase a beach sticker! You have an easy 4/10 mile stroll to a private bay beach or to Skaket Beach where lifeguards and an old-fashioned snack bar make this ideal for families. The tidal flats here are a natural wonder and a joy for children and adults alike. Enjoy spectacular sunsets on the bay side and then hop in the car for a quick drive to Nauset Beach and watch the moon rise over the ocean. For cloudy days, enjoy a bike ride on the Cape Cod Rail Trail about 6/10 mile from the house. After a fun day outside, return to an inviting open concept home. The living area has vaulted ceilings with flat-screen TV over the fireplace and opens into the kitchen which contains high-end stainless-steel appliances and a farmer's sink. Enjoy a cocktail or dinner on the 3-season porch overlooking the beautiful yard and old cranberry bog with captivating birdlife. The stone patio offers a dining table/umbrella and seating around a propane fire pit table where you can spend the night star gazing.

Perfect for parents/couples, the accessible master suite is at one end of the house and has a king bed, flat-screen TV, and a lovely pebble-tiled glass enclosed shower in the master-bath. Doors open to a second smaller patio which offers a hot tub during the off season (not high season). Two generously sized bedrooms and another full bath with a tub/shower are at the other end of the house with one providing a queen size bed and the other two extra-long twin size beds. Split air conditioning/heating allows each room in the house, including the porch, to be separately cooled on hot summer days.

The house is well-stocked with Cephalon cook ware, a Weber grill, and all the small appliances you might need to make great meals. A beach wagon, beach chairs, and umbrella also are provided for your beach pleasure.

Orleans is centrally located with the National Seashore, Nickerson State Park, the Wellfleet drive-in theater and Provincetown and Chatham all close by. The location as well as the comfort of this vacation home encourages you to be as active or as relaxed as you wish. Go ahead. Treat yourself to a Cape Cod vacation!

    Wonderful House In A Great Location

    We had a great 2 week stay here! The house is beautiful, clean and in a perfect location, walking distance to a magnificent semiprivate beach. The house is well appointed with everything you need, and the bedrooms are a nice size. We loved the four season room looking out to the beautiful backyard, the outdoor shower and the open kitchen/living room. We can't wait to stay again!

    Quaint home in walking distance to Skaket Beach

    Our family of four enjoyed this lovely home, which was in walking distance to Skaket Beach and conveniently located to the Cape Cod Bike Trail. It was clean and had all the comforts of home with three comfortable bedrooms, a well-equipment kitchen, outdoor grill and shower and beautifully landscaped grounds. We loved the four-season porch that overlooked conservation land attracting lots of beautiful birds. It was our favorite place to enjoy breakfast in the morning and a late evening gathering with twinkle lights. Brenda and John were gracious hosts. They checked in often to make sure all our needs were met. We would highly recommend this home for your Cape Cod escape. show more show less

    "Blue Sky" is a home filled with love and pride. Every effort has been made to provide the renters with a well stocked and complete vacation! The owners were always accessible and pleasant. The porch, the firepit, the outside patio all added to a well maintained interior.

    Beautiful home in a perfect location

    Our vacation was splendid. Your home is lovely; we especially enjoy sitting on your porch. Your kitchen is well-stocked. And the proximity to the ocean beaches and the bayside beach with a short walk down the path can't be beat.

    Lovely house

    We stayed at Blue Sky in July. We found the house to be very accommodating to our needs from beach gear to house equipment. The kitchen was extremely functional and the living room was spacious and comfortable. We truly enjoyed the screened in porch and watching the wildlife in the bog. The bay access path was fun for the kids and the semi-private beach was a nice way to spend a day at the bay.

    Wonderful Family Time

    We stayed at Blue Sky the week of July 1-8. From the minute we walked in the door it felt like home. So clean and welcoming. My family of 4 were in heaven. We saw an amazing firework show on the private beach. Explored Cape Cod, and had some amazing beach time. It truly was a great week. One of our favorite parts of the house was the screened in porch! We enjoyed our dinners there and got the entertainment of the birds. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this little piece of heaven.

    Great Home and Location for Week Vacation

    We've stayed at Blue Sky twice now. Each stay has been fantastic. The house is very well equipped and has everything we needed for a week long stay for our family of five. Plenty of space for us to spread out, and great yard and enclosed porch for relaxing. Easy to walk to Skaket beach for Sunset, and short drive to town for restaurants, groceries, etc.

    The homeowners are very easy to communicate with and easy to connect with for any issues during stay. Highly recommend!!

    Serenity on the Cape

    We adored our stay at Blue Sky in Orleans! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The house was just as described, with a short walk to both a public (Skaket) and private beach. It was sparking clean with tons of amenities, including an outdoor shower, all-season porch with bird watching, a nice yard for the kids to play in, and everything we needed for our stay. We had a particularly fun time putting together the martha's vineyard puzzle :) The owners were great about communicating with us as well. We hope to be able to visit again! Thanks for a wonderful week! show more show less

    We have been vacationing on the Cape since our children, now in their 20's, were young. We stayed in Eastham or Brewster and always enjoyed walking on the flats, going to the Wellfleet drive in and taking long bike rides with our kids. When we started looking for a beach house, we knew we wanted to be able to walk to the flats and watch the sunsets over the bay. We felt incredibly lucky to find our charming cottage within walking distance from the beach. We bought the house last Jan. just in time for the Covid lock down and spent March though most of July there and realized that we had found a special place. We are looking forward to sharing its charm with families and couples who will appreciate and care for it while enjoying all that the Cape has to offer.

    What is special about this property?
    The cottage is cozy, about 1400 square feet but vaulted ceilings and an open living/kitchen area create a spacious open feel. The screened porch overlooks a large private yard with fruit trees and an old cranberry bog now covered with grape and bittersweet vines that attract a variety of birds. We love sitting on the porch with binoculars and identifying the different specifies. We love walking through the neighborhood to the private beach and returning for a refreshing outdoor shower and drinks on the patio. At the end of the day, walking to Skaket Beach for the sunset is like going to a nature performance. The audience gathers in cars and on the beach to watch the sun take a final bow. Sometimes there is applause. The night sky is so dark and the yard, because of the bog, has a wild feel. We love sitting on the patio with the firepit table and looking at the stars and then getting up the next day and doing it all over again. Although this routine never gets old, there are amazing hikes and kyacking and the Wellfleet drive in is old fashioned family fun that is absolutely Covid-safe.

    We especially love the privacyof the master suite. Kids can be at the other side of the house and parents can enjoy the super comfortable king sized bed and private bath. In the fall, there is a hotub right ourside the master suite--a great place to star gaze!



    What is special about your town?
    Orleans is a charming town with many small shops and great restaurants and is one of the few Cape towns that has both ocean and bay beaches.
