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

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. show more show less

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. show more show less

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. show more show less

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!
