Description

Are you looking for a charming and comfortable house for your next Cape Cod vacation? Thyme & Tide is a classic Cape cottage with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Its one-floor living allows for plenty of room to spread out; there's also a spacious deck and a large private yard. In a quiet, residential neighborhood, the cottage is just a ½-mile walk to Skaket Beach on Cape Cod Bay, where you can walk for miles exploring the sandy flats at low tide and see magnificent sunsets.

Freshly decorated with colorful simplicity, this cottage provides all the advantages of home -- fully equipped kitchen, laundry, Wi-Fi, cable TV, a nice deck, and an outdoor shower. We also have very reasonable rates. This home is ideal for a family of six, or friends traveling together.
Nestled back in a quiet neighborhood on the way to Skaket Beach in Orleans, this house is a close drive or lovely bike ride to town shops, restaurants, the Cape Cod Rail Trail, Cape Cod Bay beaches, and two freshwater ponds for swimming. Orleans' famous Nauset Beach on the Atlantic Ocean is a short drive away.
The location is ideal for exploring the lower Cape regions of Chatham, beautiful historic Brewster, Harwich, and Eastham. The wilder outer reaches of Wellfleet, Truro, and Provincetown are all within 30 miles.
Thank you for viewing our listing. We hope you decide to stay in our lovely home.

    Wonderful stay!

    We loved staying at the house! The location is wonderful, the yard was beautiful and our kids loved playing in it or looking at all the different birds. Laura was a great host- caring, responsive, and all around made our stay unforgettable! We look forward to staying at the house again next year!

    "Thyme and Tide" --Our Bliss!

    This lovely cottage welcomes us back every summer; it is our place to be fully alive to the humming birds and honeysuckle; the old rooster crowing down the road; the scudding clouds
    after a stormy night; the clear sweet air and morning birdsong. Skaket Beach is simply perfect. Our grandchildren explore the tidal pools --sometimes for hours! and they love to float down the Creek. Sunsets and starry, starry nights there are magical. We can't wait to go back to "Thyme and Tide" again next summer. It is our perfect joy; our Bliss! show more show less

    Great family vacation

    We were so grateful to find a great family vacation spot for ourselves, our daughter, and her 2 children. The cottage is a perfect location for younger children (6 and 9) as it is located in a neighborhood with safe biking for the whole family. It is possible to walk to Skaket Beach through the neighborhood path. Nauset Beach and town are a short drive away. The house was fully equipped, except linen. Please note, master bed is queen, not double. Thank you Cape Cod Linen rental for exchanging the sheets so quickly.

    I cannot say enough about how helpful Laura was from first contact requesting info re: cottage, financial arrangements due to our Canadian/US banking issues, to meeting us the day of arrival.

    We had a great time at the cottage and hope to stay again when back in Cape Cod.

    Thyme & Tide

    We had a wonderful time in this perfect Cape Cod cottage. It was a 10 minute walk to Skaket, our favorite beach, and we enjoyed sitting on the deck and feeding peanuts to the birds and chipmunks. Such a beautiful, quiet setting. Such a relaxing time. Thank you!

    Hi Robin- So glad to hear you and your family had such a grand time while visiting the Cape, and especially happy to hear that the house met all your needs. It is a quiet oasis, but so close to the bustle of the beach if you want it. Thank you again for staying with us and for taking the time to write a review. Hope to see you next summer! -- Laura

    Love this spot!

    We had a great week in your home! The location is perfect for access to the beach, and walks or bike rides into Orleans center. We loved getting our coffee, chocolates, and ice cream at the Sparrow, and poking in and out of the little shops, too. The house offers every desired comfort. We made many meals there for our family with small children and found the house well-stocked for meal prep. And we enjoyed those meals on a comfortable deck overlooking the interesting, varied property with honeysuckle, beach plum, apple trees, and hummingbirds to entertain us. I am counting the weeks 'til we can return! show more show less

    Thank you for a great vacation! The house was wonderful and you guys had supplied everything we needed to feel at home. We loved listening to the birds on the porch while drinking our morning coffee and the beach was absolutely gorgeous. We will definitely be keeping you in mind for future rentals!

    The house was really nice, close to the small beach (10 minutes walk) and the big beach (10 minutes by car). We enjoyed the area and the fact that we had everything we needed. We recommend this house to everyone.

    Our family of five had a wonderful, comfortable and most convenient week at this classic summer house. There was room enough for even more, and we enjoyed hosting outdoor suppers on the deck and watching the children play in the spacious back yard. Each bedroom was colorful and well decorated; and the 2nd bathroom was a much-appreciated convenience as were the dishwasher, washer and dryer. We had all the comforts of home with the incomparable advantages of beaches, bike trails and all the splendors of summer on the outer Cape.
    Additionally, Laura, a travel writer for Fodor's Cape Cod, was so helpful in offering information, tips and insights, as well as very courteous and efficient service. We looked long and hard before booking; and I am so pleased and confident to say we found a winner with a great value. Most definitely recommend Thyme and Tide....you won't easily find its equal at such reasonable rates.

    We stayed at this house in late May 2010 into the first few days June 2010. The people who coordinated this rental were fabulous and flexible even with our sporadic schedule of arrival (we were traveling from the Philly-area). Quaint is an understatement of how charming the house was. Plenty of room to sleep myself, my wife and my two children. The house was clean, comfy and stocked with books, maps, dishes and even peanuts (one of my favorite memories is from my son and I sitting on the HUGE porch and hand feeding the birds & chipmunks). The yard is magnificent with room to walk around, lots of pleasant landscaping and reasonable privacy. The area is nicely located a short walk from a local beach and a few minutes by car to town. Orleans is a lovely area with lots of fun shops & restaurants. If I were to return to Cape Cod, I would choose this house again without hesitation. show more show less
