Newly Built Guesthouse with Private Association Beach
South Orleans Vacation Rental - ID 20417

We consider ourselves so lucky to have found this beautiful little cottage in Orleans for our late September long weekend stay. The cottage is adorable, spotless, well appointed, in a great location. Pretty much just perfect for our needs. We were searching at the last minute and Patty was so responsive to our inquiry and helpful with questions. We were able to pull together our long weekend get away in just a couple of days. We enjoyed everything about our stay here and we will definitely plan another visit to Orleans soon!

This was our 7th time at this beautiful, charming and absolutely lovely cottage. The cottage is spotless and very well equipped with everything you need. The bed is extremely comfortable. The location is perfect in a quiet neighborhood and close to the beach.
Patty and Bob are wonderful hosts.
We look forward to returning next year.
Thank you, Patty and Bob!

This is our 8th visit to Patty and Bob's charming cottage. It is located in a quiet neighborhood with access to a private beach and dock. The cottage is immaculate and has all the comforts of home. Everything you need is provided, just bring your clothes. Patty and Bob are the most gracious hosts. When returning each year, it's visiting old friends. We are looking forward to returning again next year. Thank you Patty and Bob!

This was our 3rd visit to Patty's and Bob's little cottage. OMG! This place is still exactly as it was on our last visit 5 years ago! This place is immaculate and is EXACTLY the way it is in the photos! The cottage is equipped with everything you will need for a comfortable stay.

If you want peace and quiet on Cape Cod yet with easy accessibility to Orleans, Chatham, Brewster, Harwich, Dennis and Eastham and all the sites, beaches, restaurants and museums, then this is the place for you! There is so much to see and do at the Cape's "elbow". A day trip to Provincetown should also be on your itinerary.

Patty and Bob are wonderful hosts. We dare to say that they have become our friends, we picked up where our conversations left off 5 years ago. So welcoming and friendly! Making plans for next year's trip up from Florida already. Thank you, Patty and Bob for a wonderful week!

This was our sixth visit with Patty and Bob. We look forward to returning year after year. Patty has thought of everything in the immaculate cottage. The setting is gorgeous, extremely convenient to beaches, towns and restaurants and it is incredibly quiet. Patty and Bob are wonderful hosts and have become friends. We enjoy new adventures as well as familiar places when we visit. And the bed is really comfortable!

We had another perfect stay. We immediately feel relaxed as soon as we walk in the door. The cottage has everything you need and it is just a short drive to many great restaurants and beautiful beaches. Bob and Patty are the best hosts and do everything they can to make your stay comfortable. It is a great place to relax, recharge, and enjoy. We can't wait to come back next year.

We've been renting in this area for twenty years and this was by far our best experience & there have been some great ones! The guesthouse was everything one could ask for - charming, modern, very well equipped, comfortable, and spotlessly clean, and surrounded with beautiful gardens, in a quiet neighborhood & great central location.
Patty & Bob were wonderful hosts, going above-and-beyond to ensure their guests have a wonderful experience. We can't wait to come back here...thank you!

What a delightfully charming guesthouse! Each space was carefully thought out with everything you might need to make for a wonderful, restful vacation.

This is a lovely, well appointed cottage and in a lovely neighborhood. Very comfortable and clean. The king bed was very comfortable. It was quiet and peaceful and the gardens are amazing. Great hosts, available for any needs. The bay beach was about a 8 minute walk, but there is parking at the bay if you drive. Thank you, Patti and Bob

We just returned from our 11th visit to Patty and Bob's cottage. It's still beautiful and immaculate. The location is still fabulous - especially the private beach during the busy weeks of summer. The hosts are still committed to making sure their guests have everything they need for a great stay. In summary, it's still fabulous. Already booked next summer's visit.

Great week on the Cape. Escaped the heat back home. Cottage perfect as always! Clean, modern, everything you need in a perfect location. Looking forward to our next visit.

Charming, well appointed one bedroom cottage with lovely finishes throughout surrounded by lush and colorful gardens.
Set in a quiet and wooded neighborhood with a short walk to a private beach. The hosts are welcoming and very attentive to guests' needs.
Property is perfect for couples.

Always a joy returning to our favorite cottage near the bay! It has been 11 years of perfection in that Patty and Bob maintain extreme cleanliness, always provide ample well cared for amenities and above all, hospitality that is friendly and cheerful. They are now our friends for life and we cannot imagine doing without at least one yearly return visit. They just know how to make a visit 'the best'!

We have stayed in many vacation homes over the years and this home by far came close to perfect. It was comfortable, tasteful and the perfect size for the two of us. Its location in the middle of the Cape made it easy to explore the area, knowing you had a pleasant place to relax waiting for you. Bob and Patty are ideal hosts, available but not hovering.

My husband and I have been coming to the Cape for many years, but I think we have found our favorite place to stay! Patty and Bob's beautiful guesthouse is the most charming, perfect place we have found on the Cape! You feel at home the second you walk through the door. It is furnished so beautifully and the bed is beyond comfortable! All the comforts of home are there for you!
Patty and Bob are lovely hosts and make you feel so at home...we cannot wait to return!!

We have been vacationing at this beautiful guest house for several years in a row. Each time we walk in the front door we feel as if we are home. So glad we found it. Patty and Bob are wonderful hosts and a wealth of information regarding restaurants, shopping and places to see. Looking forward to more visits.

We have stayed at this beautiful cottage on 6 separate occasions.
It is absolutely lovely! The cottage is immaculate and is equipped with everything you need. The location is perfect and the neighborhood is quiet. And it is so close to the beach.
Patty and Bob are wonderful hosts and make you feel right at home.
We reserved 2 weeks for next September and will be looking forward to our return.

If you're looking for an ideal, peaceful, beautiful and quiet setting to spend your vacation; this little cottage in Orleans set in a private community is perfect!

To start with, Patty and Bob are the most gracious hosts. They go over and above to make sure you enjoy your stay. The cottage is immaculate and provides everything you need including access to a private beach that is within short walking distance.

This is our 7th visit to this perfect cottage and when pulling up the driveway we always feel how lucky we are to have found this spot to spend a couple of weeks on the Cape! We are also already looking forward to returning next year and seeing Patty, Bob, and Ketzi their dog too! They make us feel like family.
Thank you Patty & Bob!

We had a wonderful week staying at the cottage. Great location for beaches, bike riding, shopping and restaurants. The cottage has everything you could ever need. Patty and Bob do a great job! Looking forward to next year,

We were so happy to return! Everything you could wish for is provided in this immaculate cottage. The beautiful gardens and setting make for a peaceful visit and the location is convenient to great beaches, restaurants, shopping and activities. Patty and Bob are wonderful hosts who are friendly and accommodating to any needs you may have. We have visited many times since 2015 and plan to visit again next year.

We have been staying at the cottage for several years. It is like returning to a second home. The place is spotless and has everything you need. Patty & Bob are the best host and it always good to see them. The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood and close to beaches, restaurants, site-seeing and shopping. If we could, we would book the same week for at least the next 10 years. It is by far our favorite rental on Cape Cod. We always look forward to our week at the cottage.

My wife and I spent a week at Patty and Bob's beautiful guesthouse; it was idyllic! Everything exceeded our expectations: the quality of the guesthouse surrounded by an English garden, and the peaceful setting of Pleasant Bay reminded me of of a time on the Cape when the pace was slower and time spent with people was where memories were created.
Patty and Bob were terrific hosts; they were like old friends. We'll be back!

My husband and I have stayed many times, all seasons and have never been disappointed, only very content. This recent summer week was the 'best ever'. We'll never tire from coming to this very special cottage!

My husband and I had a great stay with Patty and Bob in Orleans! The guest house was a good size, clean, cool and quiet inside. Parking is right next to the cottage. While the guest house is close to the main house it is not intrusive at all; Patty and Bob are happy to chat...or not based on their guests preference. I particularly enjoyed the perennial flower beds around the guesthouse and enjoying a cup of coffee on the side porch each morning. Don't forget to take the kayaks out to the bay!

This year marked the tenth time we returned to Patty and Bob's cottage in Orleans. As always, the cottage was spotless and the hosts welcoming and accommodating. The location is terrific - a small private beach which is terrific when the public beaches become crowded, and great restaurants and galleries nearby. We're already booked for next year!

We always enjoy our stay in this Orleans cottage because it has beautiful gardens, very clean and modern. The king bed is comfortable and has ample storage space in the bedroom.
The owners are such a lovely couple and pleasant conversationalist.

We thoroughly enjoyed spending our Anniversary at Patty and Bob's. We knew as were pulling in the driveway and saw this sweet "little" house this was going to be a great experience. Beautiful flowers and a nice private deck. When went inside it got even better. So comfy! Well stocked kitchen and very bright and airy. The bed was great and just calling my name after a full day on the Cape. The location was everything we wanted. Easy access to great beaches, towns and some pretty darn good restaurants. We hope to return next year. Patty and Bob are the best. Very helpful and definitely respect your vacation privacy. A win win!

My husband and I have the pleasure of staying in the beautiful guesthouse for a few days early last month. It is one of the nicest places in which we have every stayed on the cape. It is so hard to find something really comfortable and affordable for two people. The house was spotlessly clean and everything looked like new. Clearly much love and planning went into building this little house and maintaining the beautiful property. Patty and Bob were wonderful hosts and so welcoming. We will definitely be back!

We know the Cape. In fact, we know it better than some of the locals. With family members living there for many years, we refer to the Cape as our second home. Life presents changes and so we found ourselves in a new role: the renter. We have stayed in numerous rental properties over the years, mostly in mid and outer Cape towns. All were about what one would expect in a rental, viewing the property online and reading reviews from strangers. While we enjoyed our vacations, none of the rentals beckoned us back for a second stay.

That all changed with our recent getaway at this cottage. There is no property cleaner or neater than this guesthouse and no other landlords more gracious or accommodating than Patty and Bob. We love Cape Cod off season! We feel like we hit the Lottery finding this cottage and look forward to a return visit soon. It is a private, elegant, immaculate space with two of the friendliest, helpful owners. Privacy abounds with any assistance required a stone's throw away. Thank you Patty and Bob for offering such wonderful accommodations.

We have stayed here for the past 5 years and reserved it next September for 2 weeks.
The cottage is immaculate and charming. The location is ideal with many attractions and beaches close by. The neighborhood is very quiet.
Patty and Bob are wonderful hosts and make you feel right at home.
We are looking forward to returning next September.

We just returned from our 6th visit to Patty and Bob's immaculate private cottage which is equipped with everything you will need during your stay. As for your hosts; Patty and Bob are the most gracious and welcoming people you will ever meet. They make you feel like family.

There are so many things that makes their cottage the best place to stay on the Cape. The location which offers their guests the opportunity to use a private community beach within walking distance and they are centrally located to some of the best restaurants, bike paths, golf courses, shops and nationally recognized beaches on the Cape. We always look forward to returning every year!

Thank you, Patty and Bob, for everything….. and we're already looking forward to seeing you both again next year!

This cottage is perfect! Just the right size for two... small enough not to feel overwhelming and large enough that you have plenty of room to spread out and relax. It is very clean and everything about it feels fresh and new. So easy to get to the best beaches and restaurants on the Cape yet it is tucked away in a quiet, private neighborhood. Patty and Bob are the ultimate landlords... they're friendly and hospitable, they equip the cottage with everything you need, they have answers to all your queries about the cottage and the area, yet they give you privacy. This cottage is perfection!

We have been staying at the guesthouse for years. It is the perfect place if you are looking for a clean, friendly environment that has everything you could possibly need. Patty and Bob are the best hosts! We always count down the days until we get to return. It is always our best week of the year.

Patty and Bob were wonderful hosts. The property is fantastic, clean and airy with modern amenities. We hope to stay there again next year!

One of the best things about staying on the Cape is knowing that "where" you are staying is like "home away from home"! Patty and Bob's Guest House is the perfect oasis! After daytime outings, it was so relaxing to come back to this wonderful home! Thank you again for a wonderful week!

We've been returning to Patty and Bob's cabin for years and, honestly, believe I'm running out of accolades for both the cottage and our hosts. The cottage is lovely and immaculate. It has everything you could want or need. The location in Orleans is perfect - the community is quiet with a small beach that is never crowded. Orleans has good restaurants, shopping and a lovely vibe. We like its location as we can go in either direction on the Cape to explore.

Can't say enough about the hosts. They are respectful of our privacy but helpful when you need them. They truly care about their guests and work hard to make sure everything is perfect.

Truly a great experience and we've already booked next year's vacation.

This was our 2nd year at the guest house. It has everything you could possibly need. The gardens around the cottage are beautiful. The location is perfect to all points on the Cape. Patty and Bob are the perfect hosts. Looking forward to next year!

Our yearly trip to the Cape did not disappoint. Once again we enjoyed a lovely visit to this wonderful guesthouse filled with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The cottage and grounds are both beautiful and very well cared for. Patty and Bob are great hosts with a wealth of knowledge about the Cape and pointed us in the right direction for beaches, restaurants and shopping, A wonderful stay as always.

Impeccably clean guesthouse surrounded by beautiful perrenial gardens. Very comfortable sleeping accommodations with luxury sheets. Patty and Bob are exceptional hosts. We were made to feel welcome at all times. Would not hesitate to book this property again.
Elaine and Tony

No matter when we visit, how chilly sunless etc visits to Patty and Bob's are always so relaxing and comfy. We just always visit when we can, no matter the season. Always a joy being back!

We needed a last minute two-night rental beginning on Christmas Day and reached out to Patty and Bob on Christmas Eve. Patty got right back to me and they couldn't have been more accommodating. They were more than willing to work with us and our schedule to alleviate the overflow at our house over the Christmas holiday. The guesthouse is in pristine and spotless condition with all the amenities one could ask for, and was a perfect getaway for the two of us. Very comfortable king-size bed, high speed internet, full kitchen with new appliances, nice private setting in South Orleans near Pleasant Bay. We really lucked out finding this rental and I have highly recommended it to my sister and her husband. Hopefully they can book a week's getaway sometime this summer. Thanks Patty & Bob. We loved your place!

We keep coming back to this beautiful spot on the Cape. This place checks all the boxes and then some.

First and foremost, the hosts are the most delightful people, genuinely interested in making our visit the very best. The restaurant suggestions were spot on and resulted in the most delightful dinners out, all within 10/15 minutes drive and exceptional food/service. Patty has provided an assortment of incredibly organized info on entertainment, outings, restaurants, hiking/biking, etc.

This guesthouse is simply the best. We're not talking about the typical Cape 1950's camp, this place is brand new (well a few years old but the upkeep is impeccable). The layout is perfect, comfortable, super quiet with all the provisions for dining in and just chilling out either on the comfy furniture indoors or on the deck.

This mid Cape location is perfect for all activities. Minutes away from the Cape Cod Rail Trail, we biked up to Wellfleet for some awesome bakery snacks. Trail running from this guest house to some nearby woods surrounding local ponds; also minutes away is Nickerson State park offering plenty of hiking/running. An evening stroll through the quiet neighborhood, down to the private beach/cove is so relaxing and simply peaceful. Plenty of golf courses nearby as well.

All in all, when it comes to a weekend (or longer) getaway, it is a no brainer for us. This peaceful place with the best hosts "evah" is our home away from home. It is a little sad when the visit ends but always looking forward to the next time here.

We hadn't been to the Cape in two years, but truthfully, staying at Patty and Bob's idyllic guest house was so worth waiting for! We enjoyed a long Fall weekend surrounded by comfort in an extremely well appointed home. Yes, a HOME, because it truly felt that the owners were only thinking of us when they designed this wonderful rental! The location is ideal, the living spaces exceptional! We have already started dreaming about going back…..

Our visit during these troubled times, was a lovely reprieve! No worries about cleanliness or comfort. Everything there that is needed to relax in this special place.
Look forward to our return visits!

We had another amazing week at Patty & Bob's cottage on Boulder Lane in Orleans. This is our favorite area to visit on the Cape, so the cottage is in a very convenient location. Our favorite beach is Nauset Beach. As always, the cottage is very clean, very comfortable (especially the bed), and has everything you need--just bring some food and clothes.

This is a beautiful time to visit the Cape, and reconnect with Patty & Bob. They are the best hosts ever! A couple of restaurants we like are Brax Landing, the Land Ho, and Hole in One for breakfast. In Chatham we had a great lunch at the Wild Goose Tavern.

We have been to this beautiful and immaculate cottage on 4 different occasions. It is an absolute joy to spend a vacation here as it feels like heaven on earth. The location is perfect and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful.

Patty and Bob are wonderful hosts.
We will definitely return next year.

This is our fifth year in a row staying in Patty and Bob's guesthouse and have already booked again for next year. The cottage is immaculate and is equipped with everything you will need. It is located in a quiet neighborhood in South Orleans that has a private beach and dock on Pleasant Bay.

Patty and Bob are fabulous hosts and have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. One of our favorite parts of our vacation is seeing Patty and Bob again. Thank you for sharing your "Little House" with us again.

For the past five years we have vacationed at this charming guest home in South Orleans. The owners, Patty and Bob, are welcoming, gracious and accommodating hosts. Beautiful grounds, close to beaches, restaurants and shopping. A home away from home.

We love renting Patty and Bob's cottage, and we look forward to returning year after year. Here are three of the top reasons we think their cottage is so special.

1) The Location: The cottage is located in an ideal part of Cape Cod. The town of Orleans / South Orleans, which is less than two hours from Boston, offers convenient and quick access to other parts of the Cape. You can easily take a fun day or half-day trip to the Outer, Lower, Mid or Upper Cape to experience all that this part of Massachusetts has to offer. Check out the shops in Chatham, see if you can spot a whale at Race Point, hop on a bike and ride the rail trail, take a hike at Nickerson State Park, look for birds at the Mass Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary in Wellfleet, board a Hyannis Harbor cruise, find your favorite ice cream in Harwich…And yet, because the cottage itself is situated in a quiet spot, nestled in a leafy, park-like private homeowners association, while you are not far from the major Cape thoroughfares, you feel tucked away from the hustle and bustle of traffic and busy roads. You don't hear the rumble of cars whizzing by, you are soothed by the sounds of nature!

2) The Beaches: It's your choice where you want to swim, sunbathe, or stroll, and again, you are close to many options. Like to brave the surf of the Atlantic? Enjoy watching the waves of Nantucket Sound? Want a calmer beach day on Cape Cod Bay? From the cottage you are a very short drive to any of these beaches. Right in Orleans you can spend your day spotting seals at Nauset, or walk at low tide to the ends of the earth at Skaket, or watch the sun set over Rock Harbor. Of course, you can also take the five-minute walk to the private beach right near the cottage and enjoy the solitude as you gaze on Pleasant Bay. You are never far from a beautiful beach when you're staying at Patty and Bob's cottage.

3) The Cottage and The Hosts: The cottage is the perfect size for two people… large enough to spread out, yet still cozy. And so clean! Every year that we've returned, the entire cottage is so sparkling fresh it seems like it is brand new! The cottage has everything you need, but not more than you need. The kitchen is well equipped, the bedroom closet is very conveniently appointed, and there are thoughtful extras supplied – puzzles, games, movies, books, picnic cooler. But, there is still plenty of empty storage space in drawers, shelves, closets, to stow away what's yours while you're visiting so that you can get unpacked and really feel at home. And, most important, Patty and Bob are excellent hosts. They are thoughtful, cheerful, helpful, courteous, welcoming and friendly yet always respectful of your privacy. We can't think of anything they could do to improve what a stay at their cottage is… they've thought of it all, already! Thanks to Patty and Bob, this cottage is truly a gem!

I had a wonderful stay in this beautiful place! The house seems brand new and is fully equipped and very comfortable! Patty & Bob are very nice and do everything possible to ensure you have a great vacation. If you have an opportunity to book this place, do it now!

It was so great to be back at the cottage. We missed last year so we couldn't wait to return this year. It is always a pleasure seeing Patty & Bob. They are the best hosts and make you feel welcomed each time. The cottage is spotless and has everything you could possibly need. The location is perfect, so close to beaches, activities and restaurants. We are counting down the days until our next stay!

Thank you so much for the use of your amazing cottage. Our stay was relaxing and just what we wanted. The privacy and quiet were just what the doctor ordered. Everything in the house was comfortable and easy to use and you seem to have thought of everything. You were gracious hosts and we look forward to staying with you again.

This was our 8th summer staying at Patty and Bob's cottage. As we have come to expect, it was spotless, stocked with everything we could possibly expect and in perfect condition. During a summer when the Cape was mobbed with visitors escaping the dreadful year we all experienced, coming to a vacation home with a private beach, a community where we could walk without dodging cars or tourists was sheer heaven.

Patty and Bob are incredibly helpful, accommodating and welcome feedback in the hopes of improving the experience for their guests. Wonderful people, wonderful cottage. We're already booked for year 9.

This was our first visit to the cottage, but hopefully, the first of many. The cottage is lovely and comfortable in all respects. The amenities fulfilled all of our needs. Our hosts, Patty and Bob, are wonderful-available if needed, and respectful of our privacy.

The location is perfect for us, near Chatham, so quite central on the Cape, allowing easy drives to any points, from P'Town to the island ferries. Can't wait for our next visit!

This cottage was once again a wonderful retreat. The cottage is beautiful, well kept, spotless and very comfortable. Patty and Bob are wonderful hosts. They are there if you need them, but allow you all of the privacy you want or need.

The location of the cottage is great, close to the National Seashore, and central on The Cape so not a far drive to anywhere else on the Cape you might want to visit. Wasn't our first stay at the cottage and won't be our last!

We had a wonderful stay at Patty and Bob's guesthouse. It was extremely clean and a great location for exploring the Cape. Patty and Bob are very sweet and thoughtful, and gave us several recommendations on what to do during our short stay. It was a perfect place to spend a few relaxing days away.

While during these difficult times and reluctance to leave home, my husband and I had a most pleasurable 4 night stay at the Platten Cottage. We stepped back into a comfort zone, bringing us much peace and healing. It took awhile!

Can't say enough about a very charming guesthouse and owners. The home is perfection and and the location with close proximity to Pleasant Bay and walking trails was great. We are fussy to satisfy but this was beyond our expectations.

Patty couldn't be more accommodating and very understanding about a last minute scheduling change. Without question we will be back and can't wait.

Our March 22-29 week in Patty & Bob's beautiful guesthouse was the perfect way to celebrate being vaccinated and feeling the freedom to travel to the nearby Cape. From our very arrival, we felt welcomed. We explored, hiked, Zoomed, marketed, found everything we needed both in the cottage and in the area. A day in P'town brought time on the beach and a first inside restaurant experience.

Patty & her family were respectful of our privacy yet available and so helpful when needed. We look forward to being there again and seeing the gardens and flowers.

We chose to stay Patty's guesthouse as a place where we could participate in a four-day virtual conference—we wanted a place with peace and quiet. The guesthouse worked beautifully for us. It was well appointed, very comfortable, and a quick drive into Orleans center. The lovely little beach a short walk away left us wishing it was summer, so we could enjoy the secluded strip of sand with its gorgeous view out to Pleasant Bay. Patty and Bob were incredibly friendly and helpful, as well. We've rented a lot of places on the Cape for over thirty years, and this was among the loveliest.

We have been thinking about a way to safely get away during the pandemic and found the most perfect place and location to finally do just that. Our hosts, Patty and Bob, have the most beautiful guest house located in a serene neighborhood with a short walk to a lovely private beach and plenty of wooded open space for quiet evening walks. Orleans town center and the Cape Cod Rail Trail are minutes away and provided us with the start of some great cycling on the Cape. We also enjoyed a fun round of golf at a beautiful golf course 10 minutes away. The guest house location mid Cape provides the National Seashore and short drives to many highlights of the Cape, short drives being key for us.

The house was immaculate and Patty is so meticulous with respect to every detail that we had never felt more comfortable being away from home. Big, comfortable king size bed, tiled bathroom, laundry, huge tv for streaming, binders of local info, awesome gas grill and a fully equipped kitchen to make those pandemic in-house gourmet meals caused us to reconsider our departure and possibly extend our stay.

To sum it up, we loved our stay, Patty and Bob are the best hosts evah and would not hesitate to visit again for our next travel to the Cape.

I have admired this cottage for years looking at rentals on the web site and always said I am going to stay there sometime when it is just my husband and I. I am happy to say that wish came true. We were so thrilled we got a chance to rent Patty and Bob's guesthouse to relax and get away from it all, it was perfection. The best comforts of home you can imagine. I can't wait to return in warmer weather to see Patty's beautiful flowers in bloom. Patty provided a binder with the most detailed information I have ever seen.

We've been coming to Cape Cod over 30 years and this was the most beautiful place yet. Thank you Patty and Bob for letting us rent your beautiful guesthouse and for your wonderful hospitality. We can't wait to come back. Lisa & Doug, Nashua, NH

We stayed at Patty and Bob's guest house for 5 nights in early October and really enjoyed our stay. The house was immaculate and very well appointed, and we were very relaxed and comfortable there. We look forward to returning again in the future!

What a lovely gem!! We stayed here back in 2018 and simply adored the guesthouse then and equally as much now, if not more. We truly enjoyed the company of the homeowners, Patty and Bob - kind and great people all-around. They were so accommodating on all fronts, especially with the cleanliness and enhanced cleaning of the guesthouse ~ so very important during the pandemic. We felt so welcomed and comfortable with everything. We cannot stress enough how delightful and immaculate the guesthouse is.

Patty and Bob thought of everything. They are also always willing to share their knowledge-base of the Cape, which is so very helpful. We love that!! We look forward to going back in the very near future, i.e., perhaps over the Thanksgiving Day holiday break. We simply love this getaway spot and can't get enough. Thank you again Patty and Bob and look forward to seeing you soon at the Cape or in NJ....until then...may you have a beautiful Autumn season ahead...With much appreciation and gratitude, Lisa & Bob

P.S. We went to The Farm on our way out, and we purchased two large, beautiful mums for our driveway entrance. Thank you, Bob - a great recommendation!!

We were attracted to this cottage because of the pictures, showing a neat, clean and bright home. The cottage was even better in person! Everything was impeccably neat and organized. The photo of the exterior shows the plants when they were new. They have grown since planting and the exterior looks even nicer. The owner provided the best and most comprehensive information binder! We've been going to the Cape for over 20 years and her maps and info provided things to do that were totally new to us. Also the neighborhood was simply gorgeous. Too bad we didn't have enough time to explore the nearby ponds. We will definitely to back!

My partner and I have been to this lovely and charming cottage on three separate occasions. It is immaculate and well equipped with everything you need. The location is perfect and the neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful.

The cottage has a very special uniqueness and a magical quality. Whenever we are there, we feel like it is heaven on earth. The hosts, Patty and Bob, are wonderful and make you feel so at home. And their dog, Ketzi, is so loving and friendly.

We have booked another week for next September and are looking forward to our return.

This is our fourth trip to Patty and Bob's "Little House" and we didn't hesitate a minute to return again this summer. As always, we knew the guest house would be immaculate and we would feel completely safe. The guest house is perfect for two; fully equipped kitchen, comfortable king-size bed, spacious bathroom, deck, grill, and private beach within walking distance. It is located in a lovely, quiet area in South Orleans, close to restaurants, beaches, sightseeing... Patty and Bob are very gracious hosts and are always available.

Thank you, Patty and Bob, for sharing your "Little House" with us again. Looking forward to seeing you both next year.

This was our 4th year in a row staying in this lovely guest house. It feels like home the moment we step in the door each and every time. Super convenient to beaches and shopping, Patty and Bob are a wealth of information regarding places to see, restaurants and general tips about Cape Cod. Hope to return again.

We have stayed in Patty and Bob's perfect cottage several times before and as always, it was wonderful! Prior to the pandemic, this cottage was probably the cleanest rental on the Cape... needless to say, it was clean and sanitized to the utmost this summer!

The cottage is comfortable and just the right size for two people... plenty of room to spread out yet still have that cozy, just-the-two-of-us feel of togetherness. And so well equipped... including a notebook with the instruction manuals to all the appliances.

We visited our favorite spots but chose to get take-out or cook for ourselves on the grill on the cottage porch. We discovered that it is actually relaxing to stay at home in the evenings!

We've been coming to the Orleans/South Orleans area for decades and know it well, but there is always something new to discover. This year we had a very pleasant hike at the Audubon Society in Wellfleet... a place we'd never visited before... beautiful birds, beautiful marshy seascape and a refreshing walk along the shoreline and in a pine forest. We frequented our favorite beaches - Nauset and Skaket - multiple times and also stopped in a Race Point and Marconi. The social distancing rules were in effect and everyone was following them, but no one's vacationing spirit seemed dampened.

Bob and Patty are superb hosts... friendly, helpful, welcoming. And their dog Ketzi is a delight... and so well trained!

We love this cottage and look forward to returning!

Husband and I went to Patty and Bob's Guesthouse to celebrate a Birthday and to relax!!! The Guesthouse was immaculate!! So warm and inviting!! Very nicely decorated with everything you need for your stay. It was so hot the week we went and having the central air was so nice after being at the hot beach!! The private beach was so relaxing!! Bring water shoes so you do not hurt your feet at low tide. Most of the time we had the beach to ourselves!!! The guesthouse has beautiful gardens that Patty keeps looking beautiful all summer. Great place to see birds and butterflies!!! The King size bed was very comfortable. We went during COVID so we cooked almost all our meals . Nice outdoor grill and everything you need to cook. Nice area to explore!!

Some of the towns we visited were Orleans, Chatham, Harwich, Brewster, Eastham. Saw beautiful beaches and lighthouses. Plenty of outdoor activities to do. Great area for walking and bikes. There are places to get food to go and nice garden stands to get fresh produce in Orleans. Although we missed going out to have a nice dinner due to COVID . We enjoyed our stay. Thank you to Patty and Bob for your beautiful Guesthouse and hospitality. Eileen &Tim

We had a wonderful time at Patty & Bob's guesthouse. The spacious house is well decorated and everything is well thought out to a small detail. Everything inside and out was the highest quality and very comfortable. The kitchen had all the latest amenities and well appointed. A modern spacious shower with a terrific water pressure, very comfortable king size bed with a choice of comfortable pillows, outdoor deck with a Weber grill - everything was first class. But what made our experience special was the generosity and kindness of Patty and Bob. They were so attentive, friendly and accommodating. We felt not just like renters but rather as a part of their family.

Patty and Bob did such a nice job with their guesthouse! It has everything you can imagine in it for a comfortable stay—they've literally thought of everything. From super lush sheets to top of the line utensils to a grill and adorable deck, we had such a relaxing time using their spot. They're available at any time to assist with any of your needs which was also so appreciated. 10/10 recommend.

Immaculate, newly renovated and charming guest house, well equipped, great owners, super helpful in every way! While the amenities were great, the most important thing about it is LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

We spent a blissful, restful week at the comfortable, clean and spacious "Little House". The property and location surpassed our expectations. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely, and the beach was fantastic; South Orleans is a lovely area of the Cape. Patty and Bob are generous hosts that truly make you feel welcomed and want you to enjoy your stay. We loved our time there (which passed too quickly) and hope to return.. Thank you for a wonderful week!

We were a little anxious about traveling this summer in light of the current health crisis, but couldn't bear the thought of missing out on our 7th year at Patty and Bob's cottage. Knowing how clean the cottage always is and how responsive the hosts are made us feel far more comfortable. We are so glad we made the decision we did. The neighborhood is so quiet that we were able to take long walks without any concern and rarely saw more than one person on our walks. A few mornings we were literally the only people on the private beach. Incredibly relaxing. Can't say enough good things about the cottage, the area, the experience and the hosts. Already booked for next summer.

What an absolutely wonderful guest house! We needed a quiet get-away in the off season and this was perfect in every way. It is immaculate, very nicely decorated and it is obvious that Patty and Bob have seen to every detail. They are excellent hosts and provide lots of information about the area. So grateful for this cozy home in a lovely location. Highly recommended.

We stayed in this beautiful cottage for five days and loved it! It is filled with high quality finishes and furnishings. We were comfortable and relaxed the whole visit. The owners were helpful and friendly. The location is excellent for traveling the Cape and offers special treats of private trails and beach. We couldn't recommend it more!!

We've spent 4 totally wonderful days at Patty's and Bob's perfect hideaway. Those generous hosts have thought of everything to have us feel at home. The bedding is most comfortable, the living room is cozy, and if you like to take the time to cook, there's all you need to do so. This little corner of paradise is also in the perfect location: in the middle of the Cape, close to the beach, in a private neighborhood, surrounded by trees and close to Orleans center where you can find fine restaurants and groceries. We've been traveling all over Europe and American East Cost and we can assure you that's one great place to stay. Thank you Patty and Bob for this most enjoyable stay.

This was our second visit to the cottage at 8 1/2 Boulder Lane. We love the Orleans area, and this place is close to the beach, restaurants, shopping, etc. The area is residential, beautiful and quiet, which makes for a relaxing vacation. Patty & Bob have furnished the cottage with everything that you might need, except for clothes & food. We find them to be very special people. Cathy & Bob

This was our second time here and we were thrilled to be back. The cottage is sparkling clean and absolutely charming. It is a wonderful place to stay and very quiet. The location is perfect as it is close to the beach, restaurants, etc. It really and truly is like heaven on earth.

Patty and Bob were GREAT hosts and we honestly cannot WAIT to return!

In our opinion, one on the best kept secrets on Cape Cod is Patty & Bob"s Little 8-1/2 Cottage in Orleans. This little gem is a place that both my wife and I have enjoyed over the past several years. It has all the comforts of home and yet you still feel like you"re staying with close friends. The cottage which is virtually new, has a modern open architecture design which houses the living room, kitchen and a small dining area accompanied by a comfortable high open loft effect to make it feel like a real cottage. The bedroom, bathroom and laundry area are just as nice.

It"s placed in a quiet upscale neighborhood and is located near their residence. Just about everything you need is supplied with the place and it"s super clean! I could go on and on but the best way to appreciate it is seeing and staying there yourself as we have done over and over again.

By the way, Patty & Bob thanks for all your hospitality over the years!

This was our third stay, and as always, as soon as we walk through the door it feels like home. Great accommodations, great location, and great hosts. A wonderful stay. We hope to return many times in the future.

As always the 8 1/2 cottage is top notch. The bed is super comfy. The furniture is cozy and perfect for reading. The kitchen has everything you could need for cooking and we used it plenty! Bob and Patty are the perfect hosts and always make fantastic recommendations. We had an amazing experience seeing whales breaching off of Nauset Light Beach. We can"t wait for next year. Thank you Patty and Bob for another memorable vacation.

Patty and Bob have made the cottage a home away from home. The "little house" is immaculate, tastefully decorated, and stocked with anything and everything you could possibly think you might need. Patty's meticulous gardens have really grown over the years and make this place an oasis. The location is in a residential area that is quiet and centrally located to many restaurants, beaches and towns to visit and explore. They have provided an abundance of brochures to help plan activities but chatting with Bob and Patty is our favorite way to learn about the Cape. These are just some of the reasons we will be returning for our fifth year!

As always, the cottage vacation was perfect. If you are looking for a super clean (and I am the pickiest!), comfortable place with absolutely everything you could possible need, the cottage is a home run! Patty and Bob are wonderful! It is like visiting old friends every year. We always book our next stay before the week is up. We are counting down the days until our next visit! T-minus 333 days!

My husband and I head out to the Cape every summer and this year we were lucky enough to stay at Patty and Bob's guest house. The experience was fantastic! The guesthouse was immaculate, very comfortable and well-stocked. It truly was our home away from home! Our hosts were wonderful in every way. There was so much information about area restaurants, beaches, shopping and activities provided. We had the best weather too! We can't wait to go back next year!!!!

This was our sixth trip to the cottage and it was just as wonderful as always. It's just lovely, lovingly maintained and immaculate. Whatever you need is there and you couldn't ask for better hosts. The location is excellent and having a private beach means you'll never have to fight the crowds. Although we always make time to head over to Nauset Beach for the real beach experience—food trucks, waves and lots of sand. One of our favorite parts of the vacation has come to be seeing Patty and Bob again. They're just great people and even better landlords. It's no accident that most of their rentals are returning guests.

A return visit to Patty and Bob's cottage, is a must! It is like no other place to relax. We love the peacefulness and cleanliness of the decor and there is never a lack of necessities.The cottage is well equipped with reading material, games, movies, not to mention the lovely music we listen to. The private peaceful beach down the road, is like no other. Patty and Bob make sure that there are beach chairs and clean beach towels. Sitting out on the deck permits you to enjoy Patty's colorful and beautiful perennial garden. Of course we'll return but worry that once you've read this review, I won't be able to book my favorite week!

Perfect cottage! Private location! Thank you for your hospitality and kindness. Patty and Bob thought of everything to make our time here comfortable and complete with everything you would need, and more, to have a wonderful vacation. King bed, beautifully tiled bathroom and hardwood floors throughout. We started each day making breakfast in a fully equipped and ultra clean, modern kitchen. A 5 minute walk in this private, residential subdivision brought us to Pleasant Bay, with its private beach and dock.

The location made it easy to explore the lower part of Cape Cod, from Orleans to P-town. We traveled to the National Seashore, Truro Vineyard, and even took a day trip to Nantucket from Hyannis. We had perfect weather and a perfect day!

All of Patty and Bob’s recommendations were spot on. But truly, the best part of our stay there, was meeting them. Simply wonderful !

I have stayed at many Air BnB’s on Cape Cod and internationally and this place is the best I have ever experienced. From the beautiful landscapes, the lovely designed, clean and so well maintained guest house to the super hosts, Patty and Bob. I had an exceptional relaxing stay in their sweet oasis.

They created a hidden gem for anyone to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet in a home with great comforts. Patty thought of everything!! She welcomes you with a warm heart and playful spirit (Bob and Ketzi , the dog too). And is so knowledgeable about the Cape and places to go and experience.

I would recommend this guest house to anyone who is traveling alone or a couple who loves the finer quality of living and to stay with friendly, kind, professional and laid back hosts.

Patty & Bob, we are back home after an absolutely lovely long weekend at your cottage, and all we can say is...Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! We cannot say enough wonderful things about the cottage. You thought of everything and your attention to detail is top-notch. We love all the personal touches, i.e. light switch labels, a binder of details, etc. You opened your cottage to us and made us feel totally comfortable. The time we spent with you as our gracious hosts was wonderful but all too brief. We can’t wait to come back in the Summer of 2019 and spend more time together and enjoy all the amenities of your cottage, 8 1/2 - Contentment at the Cape all around. Love from your grateful guests.

We are so happy we chose this guest cottage for our stay on Cape Cod. It is a beautiful cottage in a beautiful neighborhood. It was very clean, comfortable, nicely decorated, well organized and had every amenity we could hope for to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. We honestly have nothing negative to say. Thank you to Patty and Bob for their warm hospitality. They have a gift for making you feel as though you have known them for years. We look forward to returning in the future.
