Waterfront ''Coveside Oasis'', Spectacular Sunset Views!
Orleans Vacation Rental - ID 20336

We have been vacationing with our dogs in the East Orleans area for many years, and the location of this cottage is one of the best. It offers privacy and quiet with many options for walking to enjoy the nature trails and wildlife around nearby coves and town landings. The owners are very easy to work with, and it is evident that the home has been much loved for generations. If you enjoy a classic Cape Cod experience complete with a windswept cottage that offers much to look at and do inside as well as outside, this is a great option. The library is extensive, as are the many collections lovingly and artfully displayed. The kitchen is well equipped with everything in working order. The best parts, however, are the fabulous deck and spacious living room offering plenty of seating and room to relax, a large dining table, and some of the best views in Orleans. While we had to contend with the remnants of Hurriane Ian during our visit, happily the sun came out on our last two days and treated us to two fabulous sunsets to close out our week and leave us with great memories of our visit. Thank you, Holly and Heather, for sharing your home. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Quiet, private location yet convenient to everything you need.
We enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking Rachel's cove every morning. There were hummingbirds and butterflies visiting the pollinator garden. A nature lovers dream.
Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare meals for dining " Al fresco". Beds are comfortable. Holly and Heather are very pleasant and always available for questions.
There are lots of interesting collections of shells, rocks and wampum throughout the house, it's like being in a mini museum. There are lots of vintage books to read, many of them set in cape cod.
We hope to return to this charming home soon.

Second time here, for all the same reasons. A beautiful setting, homey home, all that one could need on a Cape Cod break. Weather was great, barbequed, baked, sat on the deck for coffee and cocktails. It's a really great hang out house, and spotless as well!

We really enjoyed our week at the Coveside Oasis. The house was well-equipped, welcoming, and comfortable for us, especially on our two rainy days, when we played games and watched the Olympics on the large TV. The tides worked out that we were able to paddle our kayak and paddleboard almost every morning, and it was great to just walk down from the house to the water and go. Both the deck and outdoor shower with a view of the cove were wonderful.

We look forward to another stay in the future.

My wife and I were looking for serenity and quiet and were not disappointed. The cottage was lovely, comfortable, and in a beautiful setting.

Everything needed for a perfect stay was at hand. The deck was a treat and the view from the outdoor shower made it particularly enjoyable. We rented a kayak and had a memorable trip out to the ocean, launching from Rachel's cove at the foot of the property.

It's definitely a keeper and we look forward to visiting again.

This was one of those houses that you never wanted to leave. Old school Cape Cod, the real deal, not the hotel/resort version. Which reveals itself as decades of a family vacation home. We were delighted with all of the old time Cape collections throughout the house, lots to look at and enjoy, from nautical, nature, and historical things as well. The beds were all comfy, linens nice, and plenty of good reads around. The house was very well equipped, nothing was forgotten here, just bring yourself and you'll be fine. The deck was well-used at every hour of the day, from morning coffee to star gazing. And the outdoor shower overlooking the water and the bird feeder was fantastic!!! I cannot wait to return.

We had a great week despite the weather. Very quiet and relaxing with a beautiful view. Would definitely rent again.

We stayed at Coveside Oasis for 5 days in June and it was great! The house has rustic charm and everything you could want during your stay. The kitchen is very well equipped and the rooms are very spacious. We especially enjoyed the outdoor shower and deck. The house has a great view of the cove and is very close to the beach as well as the bike trail. Thanks for sharing your family home!

Glad we decided to stay at this rental overlooking Rachel's Cove.The house is definitely rustic, but pretty cool! Nice open house and bright. Clean and well stocked.

Very private yard. Couldn't beat the back deck! It was so peaceful. Sat out every afternoon watching and listening to the birds passing by. Even saw a couple of fox pass through! The sunsets were awesome. Also the outside shower was great !

P.S. (thanks, for the peach bread)

We were surrounded by water. The back deck looked out on Rachel Cove and in the background there was a constant flow of boats back and forth in the town cove channel. I could have spent the entire week watching the colors of the water and sea grass change over the course of a day. Across the street was a (pretty well hidden) public access path to Woods Cove. Those neighbors were pretty friendly and OK with us anchoring our 15' whaler there. (deeper than Rachel Cove). We pulled our kayaks up on the narrow public swath of shoreline. A quick hop across the very beautiful and alive Nauset Harbor brought us to the barrier beach and an ocean with spots during low tide that got a nice shallow flat break good for body surfing. We hardly ever got in our car. There was a public dock in Town Cove just across from a fish market, liquor store, supermarket, waterfront bar/restaurant tackle shop and boat supplies. We didn't need anything else. Otherwise the bicycle ride into town was a safe and easy 3 mi ride. The runners in our group were very satisfied with the routes they found.

It was hot, but the house was cool with fans in the rooms and a big open high ceiling room with a great ceiling fan. We were six very comfortable people and the house was so nice and well equipped that we rarely wanted to go out for dinner. Rather there was a crew in the kitchen, another manning a very nice grill while the rest of us hung out on the deck with drinks, conversation and a good book. The yard was great with lots of spots with cool shade and comfort. The shower was awesome. The house felt like a home, It was our center, we all wandered from it doing whatever we wanted, little complicated planning was needed.

We rented this house last year and decided to return this year to this cozy and private house in a great Orleans neighborhood. Perfect Cape experience. Great outdoor shower, and the sunsets from the deck are stunning. Highly recommend this home.

Secluded house in a nice, private, Orleans neighborhood. House is well stocked and clean. Excellent outdoor shower. The view of sunsets from the deck is beautiful. House is close to beaches and shops. Would go back again.

We stayed here a few years back when it was just my wife and I and we loved it. We came back this year with our 4 and 5 year olds and still loved it. The house is beautiful and comfortable and tucked away but a very quick drive to anywhere you want to go. The boys loved the bunkbeds and we all enjoyed a beautiful week of beach time.

The time we spent at the Coveside Oasis was a welcome break. We walked into the house and the stress of daily life was instantly gone. All you need to bring is a bathing suit and some clothes, everything else is there. The house was clean, the kitchen well stocked. The neighborhood is lovely to stroll around and the views are just breathtaking. We brought our kayak and paddled across to Nauset Beach several times during our stay. The outdoor shower was the best. You could look at the cove while enjoying a hot shower after a day at the beach. Most relaxing vacation we have had in a long time.

Coveside Oasis did not disappoint. It was so peaceful and scenic we did not want to go home. The outside shower was so refreshing, and what a view! Although the house is a little rustic, the kitchen has everything you could ever need for a vacation house, and the cabin interior gave it real vacation charm. The layout of the house was also well planned out and took advantage of the spectacular view. So pleased with the house and location! Thank you H & H, was a pleasure renting from you.

Walk through the front door and view a wall of glass, sliding doors and floor to ceiling windows looking out at the blue water of Orleans Town Cove, sea grass swaying in the breezes, and waterfowl enjoying their natural habitat.

Everywhere you look is Cape Cod personal collections. It is like visiting a museum but in a friendly, homey environment. The kitchen was fully equipped and a joy to cook in and prepare for beach picnics at Nauset Beach, which is just a few minutes away by car.

The house is in a very quiet setting where you can enjoy a walk or just sitting on the deck enjoying nature.

We plan to return.

We spent a perfect long Labor Day weekend in this charming house. My in-laws from Germany visited the Cape for the first time and we couldn't have asked for a better location. We enjoyed the cozy deck with the beautiful views and except for the last night we did not eat out. The kitchen is well stocked and clean, which made preparing meals at home easy. We brought bikes and kayaks which we used to explore. Just one hint: If you are planning to launch from the cove behind the house be careful to not step in the water. The bottom is very mucky and my husband got his foot stuck in there, but we managed to "park" the kayaks alongside the grass and enter and exit from there. Also, look for the photo album of when the house was built. You can tell the owners take great care and pride in their property. Thank you, Holly and Heather, for making our stay a memorable one.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week. The view overlooking the cove from the deck was breathtaking, and we loved sitting out there watching the hummingbirds, egrets and hawks.

The house was clean, kitchen had everything we needed, and we enjoyed all of the interesting collections of heartstones, sea glass, etc.

The location was perfect, tranquil and quiet yet close to restaurants and beaches.

We would love to return to this charming Cape Cod home!

My husband and I had a great vacation week spent at this rental. It's in a great neighborhood tucked away from the main road but an easy trip to the beach, shopping, etc. It was also perfect for our dog. It was easy to walk him directly at the house and down the fairly quiet road. The house was adorable inside. The rooms were all decorated very nicely with (of course) a beach theme. The kitchen was clean and had all the necessities for an evening spent eating in, and the deck was perfect for dinner too (and there's a grill outside). There's a TV with some DVDs (I think the owners must have known my taste because there were lots of my favorite movies there!) and a stereo with speakers that was fun to listen to the radio when hanging out inside. There's a take one/leave one book shelf and other books to borrow (but not take). There's nothing I could recommend for improvements. It was an adorable house in a great location! (Also, they knew our dog was coming and set out bowls for him, which was such a nice touch!)

We had a great time at the house. Great spot and well kept cottage. The view from the outdoor shower was our favorite! Plenty of books, games, and old Cape charm.

Your lovely haven tucked away on Rachel's Cove is the perfect homey place for a "Girls Turning 60 Getaway"!! The 6 of us came from Wisconsin, Texas, Florida and Orleans. This was the best place for all of us to relax, dine and walk while being in a beautiful home and location. We loved the sunsets from the dining room table! There are so many warm and special touches. Thank you to the hosts: Heather and Holly!

The setting for this home is idyllic. It's less than a 10 minute drive to the beach, on a tranquil dead end road (keep an eye out for the deer after dark!), with kayaking outside the back door and a great outdoor shower.
Breakfasts on the oversized deck are a delight. Bedrooms are comfortably sized and the living room/dining room open floor plan is spacious and very comfortable for hanging out in.

The one word that best describes this house is comfortable... it feels like it's your home and it's been been in your family for generations and for me that's a very nice feeling.

...we'll be back again next summer.

REALLY good time. Thank you so much for sharing your home. The outdoor shower alone was "worth the price of admission" ! . . .In short - these 2 weeks were the BEST I have ever experienced on the Cape. I have been coming down for close to 5 decades and have stayed all around - this was the absolute BEST STAY !

"My mother and I had a wonderful, relaxing time on Freeman Lane. The house was very comfortable and well-appointed. I hope to have the opportunity to rent it again in the future. My summer was off to a great start!"

"We were able to spend this lovely week here in Orleans . . . Loved the house and its decor . . . Peace. Relaxation. Sun & surf. Yeah . . ."
