VOTED #1 KITCHEN 2015 CC&Islands! East Orleans Beach House
East Orleans Vacation Rental - ID 23957

We've vacationed at the Jones' home two summers in a row and are hoping to make it back for a third and a fourth and many more! Liz and Michael thought of everything to make the house truly feel like home during our stay. After long days on one (or sometimes both) of the nearby beaches, our favorite activity was coming back to take advantage of 'the best kitchen on the Cape!" Our group loves to cook and Liz and Michael's kitchen is outfitted with every pot, pan, appliance and utensil you could need, all beautifully maintained and organized in exactly the spot you'd expect it to be!

When we weren't cooking or eating, we enjoyed relaxing in the beautifully decorated home that is outfitted perfectly for young and young-at-heart alike. Our kids loved their daily scooter or bike ride around the neighborhood and playing soccer in the back yard while the adults enjoyed a cocktail on the deck or patio. All of the extras like beach towels, chairs, games, sand toys made our stay even more enjoyable and like home.

Impeccably maintained and outfitted, the Jones' have furnished a beautiful setting for many, many great family memories. Liz and Michael are so lovely and helpful, and we're grateful they have shared their home with our family! show more show less

We have been vacationing on the Cape for over 15 years, and this is the best home we have ever rented. It's close to everything and a quick drive or walk to Nauset Beach. Liz and Michael were wonderful to deal with and have thought of everything. Their home is beautiful, stocked with everything we needed and had plenty of space for everyone in our family. Not having to lug towels, sheets and beach towels/chairs was a real plus! The house is meticulously cared for and had a great outdoor shower. Neighborhood was very quiet with lots of privacy. show more show less

Many times we have arrived at a rental home and found that the pictures did not accurately represent the home. This home was just the opposite. This home was even more beautiful in person than its pictures! Liz and Michael's home is wonderful with lots of space and little extras that make a week at the beach even more enjoyable! The beach and bath towels were upscale, the beach chairs were great (we are going to look into purchasing some just like them!), the kid and family games were great! They even had a stash of kids beach toys for us to use.

Cooking in the gorgeous kitchen with the whole family gathered around without being in the way made it much more enjoyable! It is tastefully decorated and still kid friendly!! Liz and Michael are extremely personable and approachable!! The home's location is in a great quiet neighborhood just a few minutes drive or bike ride to Nauset Beach!! We had a great time spending the mornings on Nauset Beach and the afternoons at Skaket Beach! My only wish is that we were able to stay longer!!! show more show less

My family and I came to the Cape from London for two weeks at the beginning the children's summer holiday. I wanted them to experience American camp and chose the Cape as I had heard great things about it and wanted to be near the water. The Jones's house is a beautifully maintained house, with gorgeous nautical/American decor. The garden is a good size and there's a lovely sunny deck. It's quiet and yet close to all amenities and was a quick drive to several beaches including fresh water lakes. We loved our time there. The Jones's couldn't have been more hospitable and welcoming. They checked in with us just the right amount to make sure we were fine and were easy to get hold of if we had a problem. We would stay there again! show more show less

My sister and her family (from LA) and my family (from Northern VA) needed a place to stay in Orleans for a long weekend. My brother has a summer home in Orleans and his daughter was getting married. Since their house was full, we needed a place for us to stay. I started doing research about rentals in the area and I must admit some of my inquiries were acknowledged by some pretty rude, snobby people who were really not interested in renting for a long weekend versus a week! I finally came across this lovely home which was very close to my brother's home. Dealing with the owner , Liz, was just a wonderful experience! She was always available to me with any questions I might have had, and I could tell she wanted to make sure everything went smoothly...which it did.

We had a very busy weekend but it was always so wonderful at the end of the day to come back home to this warm, beautiful home and just relax! Everything was immaculate and there was nothing that was not available to us. The kitchen is gorgeous and the dining room is huge! I hope next year we can all come again and relax in this beautiful house for at least a week! show more show less

We've rented many homes on the Cape and the Islands (in addition to other beaches in NJ & NC), and this house in Orleans is by far our favorite! It's spacious, meticulously cared for, and at the same time cozy and comfortable! The kitchen/family room that sits next to the most beautiful porch we've ever been in, could have kept us from leaving the house; it's seriously that incredible.

We loved the neighborhood, the herb garden, the sound of the waves crashing at night, and our hosts, who gave us our privacy, but were quick to help us when we had questions on everything from farm stands to restaurants, beaches or antiquing!

There's nothing missing from this house... like really... nothing. (It's actually better equipped than our home). We've found the perfect rental and plan on going for summers to come! Thank you to our hosts for sharing your home!
