Pleasant Bay Hideaway - Charming 1870s Home, Private Beach
East Orleans Vacation Rental - ID 13424

A great older home on the Cape. Very good location to either the beach or bay. The house was clean very comfortable. Very private location, set back off the road. It was great being able to walk down to the bay. Great bird watching.

We have been guests at this home many times. The house and the owners were spectacular as usual! The house was, as always, immaculate and comfortable. Even my kids, all three now teenagers, were excited make the trip this year after a long hiatus. It was just the getaway that we needed for a safe 2020 summer break!

We are always ready to go back and would not think of staying anywhere else!

We had a great time! We loved the location of the house. It felt like a little oasis as soon as we pulled down the driveway.

Your house is truly fantastic. I am a history buff and I love the nooks and crannies of history in this house.

A very relaxing place to stay and very centrally located. Explored many beaches and your private cove.... Had a good time on the back deck grilling out. Loved the outdoor shower!

Thank you so much for this cute, cozy, and comfy house. Everything was perfect. The kids loved the house and we did, too! We even got to pat a bunny in the back yard.

Thank you also for the baby crib and the baby chair and for all the children's beach toys and children's book and board games. We can't wait to come back!

Thank you so much for this wonderful, cozy house. Whether we were at the beach or simply lounging in the house, we truly felt we were at home. The private beach was so fun, we loved every second we got over there. We made so many memories in this house - from cooking delicious breakfasts to using the incredible outdoor shower.... We hope to stay here again!

We loved our week in East Orleans and wouldn't hesitate to return. The house was clean, homey and inviting. There was room for everyone to spread out. I loved the updated, well stocked kitchen. Peaceful describes the location and home. Goose Hummock, a local kayak company, dropped a kayak for us to use for a few days. The private Pleasant Bay beach is a 10 min stroll away. My daughters ran the 2.5 miles to Nauset Beach to see the sunrise twice. (can you say 4:40 am). We live near Boston, so our vacation is primarily to relax at the beach and visit with family. The house is off the beaten path with very little noise from neighbors; this is a good choice if you are looking for a quiet retreat not far from beaches. Prompt response time from owners. I liked the recycling set up and garbage pickup, updated kitchen and bath, outdoor shower and the hammock. Good selection of books and games, washer and dryer a plus. Master bedroom is up a steep set of stairs.

We're just about to leave this house, and we have to admit that it's with a little sadness! It's by far the most fully equipped place that we've rented so far! Everything's there! The size or the house was perfect for our family (2 adults, 4 kids under 5). The beds are comfortable and the kids really liked the bunk beds. Another highlight is the outdoor shower, wish we had one home! We particularly appreciated the yard and the secluded location. We felt on vacation the minute we left the road!

It was our first time in Orleans and really liked it. The house is away from traffic but close enough to all the essential: grocery, restaurants, ice cream and of course Nauset Beach! With the kids we used to go to bay beaches (smaller waves and warmer water) but we literally fell in love with Nauset. Yes it's crowded but the people are kind and respectful, and the kids loved the big waves and watching the seals. And no, the water was not that cold! Finally, dealing with Christy was a pure pleasure! All of our questions were answered promptly, and we really appreciated all the concern she had for our family's comfort! We also found the PayPal payment really convenient just as the insurance instead of the security deposit... Can't wait to come back!

We can't imagine a more ideal place to stay on the Cape!
We love staying in this region of the Cape, and the location of this house is quiet and private, but also near both a lovely town and a beautiful private beach. The house itself is comfortable, cozy, and full of character. We enjoyed exploring nearby beaches and parks during the day, and making use of the games and books in the house at night. A highlight was taking our kayaks to explore the spectacularly beautiful (and crowd-free) Little Pleasant Bay from the private beach. We would highly recommend renting this house for its location, privacy, charm, and comfort!

Very quiet location, nice updated kitchen, big yard with west facing deck... great location, near Nauset Beach. Nice central location close to Orleans shopping and National Seashore - we had a great time and look forward to coming back!

"Thank you for sharing your home with us! It was my first time here on the Cape and I had a wonderful time. Everything was wonderful - food, beaches, people and your home. I can't wait to come back!"

"Thank you for letting us rent this *awesome* house for the week. We had so much fun playing monopoly after the beach day. The beds were very comfy!"

"A lovely time at the Cape... Connected with old friends, biked, and slept a lot! Very relaxing. House was great - very well equipped and clean. Thanks so much!"

"We had wonderful two weeks in your lovely and perfect equipped house... We enjoyed our BBQ evenings in the back yard and, of course, the outdoor shower is really a big hit."

"As always, I had a great time. My brothers and I love all the games and the back yard!"

"We had a great week on the Cape! ... The outdoor shower was very nice and the location is great because it's right next to the beach. Thanks for everything!"

"Once again we had a wonderful time staying here.... You always have everything we need and nothing we don't. Love the house!"

"We’ve been coming to the Cape for 25 yrs. and this has been our favorite place to stay. The wonderful 1870s farm house reminds us of another family home we used to summer at. Walking to the beach was a nice treat and we love your outdoor shower. It felt like you created this place just for us. We will surely return to this 'secret spot'."

"...sitting in the living room on our last day here, wishing we could stay longer. We like playing the piano at night and putting together the puzzle of the Lincoln Memorial... The whole house was cozy and welcoming."

"The kids explored and explored in the grass and shallow water at the private beach. Kitchen was more than well-stocked. Hubby loved the deck and outside shower. Correspondence before our vacation was always prompt & polite!"

"What a beautiful spot! The cottage was perfect, everything you could need and more... love the bunk beds. The house is comfy and cozy. Great yard! The trails are soooo cool."

"It was nice to have some place quiet to come home to (and it really felt like home)... We loved the central location to beaches and grocery. We loved the outdoor shower!"

"We loved this house! This rental was comfortable, cozy and stocked with everything we needed right down to beach toys and a hairdryer! Everything was clean and welcoming. We loved the seclusion and the private beach. Would definitely rent again!!"

"What a beautiful place to spend the week in the fall. The house feels secluded, but we were a stones throw away from some of the most beautiful seashore we’ve seen… Outside shower a big hit! We loved it here. Thank you."

"...we had a very restful and brilliant time! We loved your house-the kids especially… the two boys played a bit of croquet. My daughter told me she saw a humming bird outside the window in the living room a couple of times… hopefully we can come back another time."

"You have a lovely home. We've rented on the Cape the past 8 summers and this is the first that is truly homey."

"Our week spent on the Cape has been amazing! ...The outdoor shower and deck are great! We loved how the house felt secluded."

"WOW - what a fantastic week we had - our first on the Cape & perfect weather all week!! Loved the house. The outdoor shower a great hit. Basically - it's all good!"

"Right from the beginning we felt at home in your house. It was calm and comfortable, so we got over jet lag quite fast. The weather was mixed so we spent some evenings in the cozy livingroom... glad we weren't camping. We loved the piano!"

"We had a wonderful stay at your family's summer home. I love antique houses, and whoever did the renovations did them wonderfully. We really appreciated that the bathroom and kitchen were redone and spotless. Last year's rental was an entirely different story, and that experience made us very appreciative of the wonderful condition that this home was in. It was a pleasure to stay there."

"This was a very good start of our first holiday in the USA. We loved the style of the interior and furniture. We really felt at home here and had a nice, quiet week."

"We LOVED your adorable house… We had the most quiet, relaxing and memorable vacation we've had in a long while!"
