Our whole family, three generations, spent our first week on this property, and it couldn't have been more perfect. We've been vacationing in East Orleans for many years, and this was the best ever! The pool was such a bonus! The owners are extremely helpful and truly want you to enjoy their home. We will be returning!

We had a great vacation at this property in Orleans. The house is beautifully decorated in bright and cheerful colors. The cottage is charming and well appointed. Both are very clean and well maintained. Our extended family group of 14 ranging in age from 15 to 80 found it very comfortable. The ping pong table was a big hit, and the screened porch was great for relaxing, reading and just hanging out together. We especially enjoyed the pool and deck area. Spending time with family we don’t see too often while lounging around the pool, playing a game of volleyball and having a cookout was just what we were looking for.

Orleans is perfectly located near many attractions such as the Cape Cod Rail Trail bike path, lots of different beaches, and quaint little downtown areas, like Chatham, for shopping and dining. We were also able to spend a day in Provincetown and take the ferry to Nantucket for a day.
It was a memorable, fun filled vacation, but there’s still plenty left to experience so we look forward to returning in the future.

This property on Tonset Road is a gem. It consists of 2 houses on 1.5 acres, centrally located in Orleans, MA. Nauset Beach is 1 mile away. The center of Orleans with its shops, baseball field and tennis courts is 3/4 mile. A nearby access (1/4 mile) allows for wonderful kayaking to Town Cove and beyond to Eastham and the Atlantic Ocean.

The two houses are clean, tastefully decorated, and well maintained with ample rooms on 3 floors in the main house. The kitchen is large, very well supplied and overlooks the large pool and hot tub. Our grandchildren spend hours in the latter reconnecting with their cousins. The large house is set back from the road and protected by a 10 foot high hedge keeping children well away from the street.

Dining areas include the large pool side picnic table, the deck overlooking the pool, a screened porch, and the generous interior dining room. The parking area is more than adequate. There are abundant supplies of beach gear, games, and a much used outdoor grill.

The second house, although smaller, has all the amenities including a well-supplied kitchen and separate dining and living rooms.

Over the past two summers this beautiful and well-appointed estate has fulfilled our every need. We are a large, active, three generation family. Our family’s Cape experience has certainly been enriched by the multiple activities this vacation home encourages.

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for renting your beautiful home to us this past week,
everything was just lovely and so well kept, the kitchen was well stocked with everything needed
for cooking, and of course the pool such a bonus...we had the most wonderful time. We've been
renting in Orleans for many, many years now and this by far was our most favorite place and vacation week!
You and your manager Colleen were so accommodating, responsive and a pleasure to work with.
Everyone from my 87-year-old mother to my 15 mo old granddaughter had such a relaxing and enjoyable time, it couldn't have been better, we enjoyed every single minute! Thank you! show more show less

We had a great time at the McCarthy compound in Orleans the week of July 16th.
We had 17 members of our family and extended family enjoying your property and surrounding area. The pool was well used- one day hit close to 100 degrees.
The guys went out on a party boat one day and caught tuna and stripers. We ate like kings. The kids had crafts on the front porch every morning and we all enjoyed the screened in porch.
I liked the different areas that people could find to read or nap.

Thank you for letting others enjoy your little piece of paradise. show more show less

Our family members are spread far and wide so we don't get to see each other often enough. We gathered together and spent a marvelous week here and enjoyed the property and location immensely. The house provides for the needs of all. The young families have enough space to get the munchkins away for quiet time. The pool and grounds are perfectly maintained and lend themselves well to lounging, chatting and watching the munchkins in the pool.
The house and grounds have all of the amenities that our group needed starting with WIFI, a well equipped kitchen and an outdoor shower.
By mid-week we knew everyone was having a grand time when people started saying "this is the best vacation I ever had!"

Thank you so very much for making such a wonderful family vacation possible! show more show less

Your home was the perfect site for our two-family vacation. Our grown children all said it was the best house in 23 years!!!

We older adults couldn’t agree more. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy seven days of perfect weather in such a lovely setting.

In early August our family of two grandparents, two daughters with their significant others and two grandchildren stayed at the Tonset compound in Orleans. We are happy that we did. The main house is tastefully decorated, does not look like a summer rental and had all the amenities we needed, including a ping pong table and internet access. The separate cottage provided the grandparents with the privacy and quiet we needed.

The swimming pool was used frequently by all and was a joyful addition for the grandchildren and for the rest of us.

Nicely landscaped, on a dead end road it is located in walking distance of a pleasant cove we used for kayaking. We are glad we found this rental.

Our annual family vacation is always spent at the Cape (over 25 years).  Each year, we've tried a new rental property.  After staying at the house/cottage at Tonset, we have found the perfect spot!

It's roomy enough for our extended family, and the cottage is perfect for a family. The pool and hot tub really made our vacation unique and added a new dimension of fun.  

The pictures posted online don't do it justice-- the house is very tastefully decorated and has a lot of light-- perfect for a cape vacation. Overall, the property is well kept up and very clean.  We'll surely be back! show more show less
