Bright waterfront haven with AC and heavenly 100° views
Orleans, Grandview Vacation Rental - ID 31120

We had another beautiful stay. I forgot how beautiful the Cape is off-season! The weather was perfect, and it was nice to get everyone together for quality family time. We walked out to the Cut and saw large numbers of seals just resting on land. We were surprised to hear so many coyotes at night roaming around the area. Thanks again for opening your nice home to us again! Planning to be back.

What a wonderful place for a vacation! We've spent a week at Andrew's home for the past few summers and have always loved our time there. Comfortable spaces, great kitchen, fabulous wraparound porch, and amazing views! And Andrew is always super-responsive if there are any problems. Highly recommend!

We just returned from a week's stay at Andrew's lovely home. The house was clean and updated with comfortable furniture and a well-appointed kitchen. The kayaks and beach chairs were an added plus. We especially liked having sleeping accommodations on all three levels for our 3 generation family. But the best thing about the house is its wonderful location overlooking Mill Pond and Nauset beyond. We hope to rent this home again in the future.

This house and location were absolutely perfect for our multigenerational family. The views are outstanding and access to the refreshing pond for a swim was delightful. The home has everything you need and extremely well maintained. The owner is readily accessible. We had a wonderful time.

Our fifth stay at Andrew's home, and just as perfect as always for an April visit. Clean and comfy, with great birding + beach walks, and talks around the fireplace at night. It's a really special property. We had one small issue at the start with hot water, and it was dealt with right away. We love it here.

Spent two wonderful and relaxing weeks at this home. The home is lovely, comfortable, clean, spacious and has everything you would need. The water/scenic views from everywhere inside and outside the home are spectacular. Walking distance to the ocean. October is a beautiful time of the year to spend on/enjoying the cape. Have already reserved time for next year.

This home is a comfortable home with everything you need and a beautiful view as a bonus!

My family has been visiting the cape for many years, and this home is the most magical place I have ever stayed. The home is meticulously cared for, and the view is to die for! There is a large deck overlooking the water, where we drank our morning coffee and watched the seals swim. We also enjoyed the swimming area just next door to the house (end of the culdesac). You can also take a picturesque stroll around the saltwater pond and end up at the beach. We had plenty of room for our group of 11. We had some older people in our group, so another bonus was being 8/10 of a mile from Nauset Beach. There are no stairs to maneuver at this beach, which was really helpful for our group. Andrew is incredibly thorough and kind and easy to work with and the caretaker, Mike, was great as well. You will love this home!

Fifth year Summer vacation at this property and counting... this year for a 2 week stay! We appreciate this beautiful property and all it has to offer as well as the helpful information provided by Andrew. I am thankful he shares his beautiful home with us!

This home is the perfect place to stay when you're on the Cape. Its location provides amazing views. You'll want to hang out on the deck, just taking it all in. The house itself is beautiful. It's very well equipped, clean, well-maintained and comfortable. At the end of its street, it's very quiet. Between the quiet and the comfy beds, you'll sleep well. If you like to spend an active vacation, going places and doing things, Orleans is about mid-Cape, so you can get up and down the Cape easily. Nauset Beach, just down the road, is one of the best Cape beaches. Andrew is an outstanding host. He sincerely wants you to have the best time, and he's always readily accessible. He'll do everything he can to make sure all is done right. We've been coming for years now, and most highly recommend this place.

What a view! We had a spectacular fall getaway at Andrew's family home. The house had everything we needed - including the water view from every room in the house! The bouquet of beautiful flowers was an added bonus! The house was exactly as described and the kitchen held everything one would need for cooking (although we did very little - my favorite thing to make is a reservation, and there were plenty of places nearby to enjoy a nice dinner). Andrew was very responsive whenever I had a question about the sleeping configurations or even locking the Pella doors. We plan to return next year to enjoy fall on the Cape.

Having just left our Orleans Vacation yesterday,
We can confirm that we have had a wonderful stay
in Andrew's Family house. We have stayed there
a number of times at different times of year,
and can report that the views, the house,
and Andrew's and Mike's efforts are always enjoyed and
very much appreciated. We would highly recommend this
house to anyone who asks, so long as it doesn't lock
us out of our preferred weeks.

We stayed in 3 homes during our Cape Cod vacation this year. This home was our favourite! Andrew was the the most attentive owner responding to our requests in a kind and courteous manner. The highlights of our week: Fresh flowers upon arrival, well stocked kitchen, kayak use as well as beach chairs, CLEANLINESS of house, walking to Nauset where the beach was empty- NO trucks allowed on beach this year- fabulous!
We will definitely recommend your home to anyone wanting to come to Orleans!
Thanks again!

This was our third year renting this house and from the minute you walk in the door, you will feel at home. Then you see the view and never want to leave.

We enjoyed oyster happy hours on the deck, floating in Mill Pond, kayaking, the wonderful restaurants, more floating, the abundance of nature - we saw deer, the resident seals, coyotes (way off in the distance), owls and we even saw a mink scampering across the road from the neighbor's property one evening.

We have been renting at the Cape for decades and by far, this is one of our favorite houses.

It is our fourth year and counting at this beautiful location in Orleans. We enjoyed catching up with family and taking in the surrounding beauty. We will be back again next year!

We've rented this house 3 times now in the last two years, and have reservations for a fourth vacation next year.

It's in an incredible location, with beautiful views of Mill Pond, Nauset Harbor and the Atlantic beyond. The location is very quiet. The house is in wonderful condition, well furnished and maintained really well. There are small touches that only add to the experience, like fresh flowers in a vase when you arrive.

It's a short distance to Nauset Beach and close to Orleans. Anything you need is close by.

Andrew, the homeowner, is a top-notch host. He's a great guy, very accommodating, easy to deal with and he's truly concerned about the well-being and happiness of his renters.

We keep going back, because there just isn't a better house to rent! We highly recommend Andrew's house if you want a great Cape experience!

We have stayed many, many times over the years in rental houses on the Cape. This house is now our favorite rental home. The house sits at the end of a cul de sac on a salt water pond with a view of Nauset beach in the distance. The water views from almost every window in the house are beautiful and has a large deck from which to enjoy the setting as well. The house itself is spacious, open, lovely, in good condition and well taken care of. The owner of the house was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had before we arrived and remained so while in residence. We will be recommending this house to our family and friends.

Just love this place. We didn't have great weather, but we hardly noticed. This house is so comfortable, spotlessly clean, and well-stocked. The views, the fireplace, the walks, the easy communication with the owner--we couldn't be happier with this rental. Can't wait to go back.

This was our 4th time staying at our "home away from home". We absolutely love it there! Off season we sit on the deck overlooking the glass-like water with the firepit going, drinking a glass of wine and taking in the beautiful sunsets. We cook family meals in the well stocked kitchen. We play family games and sing in the comfortable living room. The beach is a short walk away and it's empty this time of year - we enjoyed our long walks on the sand listening to the waves crashing. It's truly heaven on earth. The owner and caretaker are both very responsive.

We have rented here the last three years. You can check our prior reviews which indicate how special this place is. This year the experience was improved with linens and towels provided by the owner. Thank you Andrew.

We rented this home for our family over the 'wedding week' for our son and it was simply perfect! Location to everything (THE BEACH!) was incredible, the views all day were stunning, the house set up was exactly what our family needed to have space throughout the week and enjoy time together and get some private time too! It is welcoming from the minute you step in the door and leaving is very hard! You truly feel like a guest in Andrew's home-it is appointed better than any home I've ever stayed in! You will wish you had stayed here if you don't and drive by it!!

We love Mill Pond walks and views. This classic Cape home affords both and delivers an absolutely stunning panoramic view that extends to Nauset. Well appointed with lovely gardens and everything you could need in the kitchen. Fastidious care in regard to humidity control, air quality and cleanliness is essential for Cape comfort and this home excels in all. We are already looking forward to next year's return.

Third time and still a charm! We again enjoyed a wonderful week on the Cape at the beautiful property located at 12 Mill Race. The spectacular setting is the star and it is always great to reconnect with the family and make more Cape memories.

Easy check in/out. House was super clean and the grounds were gorgeous. Close to beaches, restaurants & stores. Once you arrive you really don't need to go anywhere. Just take in the sun on the deck or take a kayak down the race. Spectacular views and sunsets.

Recently returned from a wonderful multigenerational (ages 26-93) family vacation at this lovely home. Everyone wants to return next year! My parents can no longer manage navigating the beach so we wanted to bring the water to them. I am happy to tell you we succeeded!

The setting is truly peaceful and serene. Every day we were in awe of just how quiet and still it was sitting on the huge wrap around deck taking in the panoramic view. Just an occasional friendly neighbor walking by with their dogs, or the sound of muffled voices coming from those clamming in the inlet. We saw deer, coydogs, rabbits, chipmunks and a great variety of very healthy birds everyday enjoying the birdfeeder. On one particular day we were more than startled when a pack of coydogs came thundering down at full speed directly under the deck out to the street and down to the path below. They sounded like galloping race horses pounding beneath us!

The house and the grounds are charming and beautiful in every way. Manicured lawn and shrubs. Gleaming hardwood floors. Windows and sunlight everywhere! Large, open kitchen with great counterspace. Plenty of room throughout the house for everyone. Bedrooms comfy and cozy. Enjoyed an indoor fire a few evenings while we all stayed up late pushing ourselves to complete a puzzle we had brought, and succeeded! Swimming and kayaking everyday. Coffee on the deck in the am, followed by raw oysters and clams mid afternoon, basking in the sun. Quick ride to stores to replenish grocery supplies. Enjoyed exploring the quaint town of Orleans on foot, discovering some wonderful shops.

Andrew, the manager, is a most kind, caring, and sincere host. Responds within hours to any inquiry. Has prepared a wonderful packet of information that he provides to you ahead of your stay, that includes absolutely anything and everything you might want to know. Very helpful and useful information.

After a hard year of some serious medical issues that my father championed through, this was the perfect family vacation we all needed to celebrate and unwind. We will be back!

At the risk of letting TOO many know about this fabulous rental home, I can't help but give it 5+ stars!.

We were lucky enough to have ridiculously beautiful weather in early November with mild temps and bright skies for the whole week. The house is absolutely beautiful - perfectly situated on the salt water pond with EXQUISITE views to the Nauset dunes and ocean beyond. The house is beautifully appointed - there is nothing that owner hasn't thought of and supplied. Every room was immaculately clean. We cooked in most evenings (because it was so easy with every kitchen cookware/utensil imaginable right there) but did enjoy one (off season) evening out at Barley Neck Inn for dinner, just a mile away from the house.

A perfect getaway for us with special thanks to owner Andrew for his remarkably quick responsiveness to any questions/concerns. Cannot wait to return!

We spent two weeks at this beautiful home, and have nothing but great things to say!

First, working with Andrew, the homeowner, was very positive. He is responsive, communicates well, and worked to make sure we enjoyed our time there.

Next, the house is wonderful. If anything, the pictures don't do it justice. The location is spectacular. The house is very clean and well cared for. It's in a quiet area. There were some special touches we really appreciated, like fresh flowers in the home when we arrived, and Brita pitchers filled and chilling in the fridge. There are smart TVs, so you can sign into streaming services. The beds are quite comfortable. The Wi-Fi worked well. East Orleans is a good Cape location because it's easy to head up or down the Cape for activities, restaurants and whatever else you might be interested in. Nauset Beach, perhaps the Cape's greatest, is just down the street.

We highly recommend Andrew's home, and we can't wait to come back!

This is our second year renting this property and it was another wonderful experience. The house is well laid out and comfortable, with all we needed. The views from several rooms and the deck are absolutely stunning. My wife and I remarked how the views showed the handiwork of God with the greens, blues and white clouds framing an exceptional picture.

I am running out of superlatives to describe this property. We returned again this summer for another great stay at Andrew's beautiful home. Nothing tops the spectacular view from the deck and spending quality family time down the Cape. We will be back again next summer to make more memories and take in the picturesque setting.

To sum this property up in one word would be perfection. From the stunning location to the comfortable, bright roomy interior and nature's beauty all around, it was top notch. And that VIEW. To die for. The surrounding neighborhood was quiet and tranquil and just so beautiful.

We enjoyed kayaking around Mill Pond almost every day - having the kayaks supplied for guests to use was a wonderful amenity. We equally enjoyed just floating in the warm, calm water at the end of our day before our evening happy hour on the deck.

The interior of the home is beautiful as well with stunning views and lovely rooms to retreat to at the end of the day for a good night's rest. Everything was impeccably clean, there was tons of storage, great closets, and those incredible views (do you see a theme here?) can be seen from every bedroom.

And last but not least - Andrew is one of the most thorough, responsive and thoughtful property owners that I have ever worked with. He really provides everything one might need to have a wonderful and informed stay.

This truly is a special property - it embodies everything I love about Cape Cod and I know you will love it too.

This house was perfect for our needs. We are all writers and artists - and the view was all the inspiration we needed. All of us spent a lot of time in the water, kayaking and swimming. We had family renting a house in the next town over so they all came over for a bbq and a swim. The seals were constant companions.

The set up of the bedrooms was flexible enough to meet our multi-generational group. We had a few minor issues and Andrew took care of them immediately. We had a few rainy days but the view didn't disappoint. My favorite thing was seeing the lighthouse light flashing during a foggy early morning.

We will be back!

We had a wonderful stay at this home. My 2 daughters and 4 children had plenty of room and the accommodations were excellent and very well equipped.

A beautiful beach is right outside the door... say 100 feet. The beach offers calm waters, perfect for wading, children playing in the sand and for swimming. A great float is close and for adults a swim across the Mill Pond is great exercise. Kayaks are provided... excellent kayaking in the pond and you can go all the way out to the ocean.

Very quiet, private and just about perfect. Thank you, Andrew!!

It can be a challenge to find the perfect family vacation spot online. We were pretty optimistic prior to our arrival, but WOW. This is definitely a home where pictures can't do it justice because it's far more than photos. You immediately feel at home, the views are spectacular and it's so peaceful.

Our family enjoyed kayaking, swimming, played lawn games, and relaxed on the wonderful deck. It's close by to quaint towns like Chatham, great shopping and delicious restaurants. The kids we excited to see deer, lots of birds, chipmunks (we don't have those in Florida) and saw a couple of coyotes from a distance. There are also a couple of seals that hang out in the inlet, which the neighbors told us are named Sammy and Samantha. Also the neighbors we met down by the beach are very nice and welcoming.

A huge thank you to the Davis family for sharing your piece of heaven and a special thank you to Andrew for being so easy to work with. We appreciate all the detailed information about the area and for quickly answering any questions we had. The hardest part was leaving ??

We had an incredible weekend over Memorial Day at Andrew's Mill Race home in Orleans. The weather was absolutely terrible and it rained for three days straight, however, we still were able to truly unwind and enjoy the cape. The biggest reason the trip was such a success was due to the incredible wrap around deck and pond / ocean views!

We spent most of the time indoors and would take walks around the pond in our rain gear to get outside. One night was a big lobster night from the lobster pound another we did steaks from Nauset Farms and the third we went out and had a phenomenal time at Land Ho !

The grill set up is perfect, as well and the greatly stocked kitchen will tons of different options for place settings, silverware, wine/ beer glasses …etc. The home has everything you need to cook and enjoy a cape weekend whether the weather is nice or totally wet as we experienced. The kayaks and beach chairs didn't get any use but we will be back and will pray for some sun!

The location truly can't be beat right on the water so it works in great or terrible weather. We actually had a few friends staying at over-priced 5 star hotels in Chatham that were so bored they went home early. For us, we had plenty of space, great views, and thoroughly enjoyed the gas fire pit and the well stocked wood burning fireplace each evening.

We can't wait to return again! Thank you Andrew for the very detailed information packet and making this a great weekend.

We absolutely loved it here. Comfortable, clean, welcoming, including fresh flowers in the lovely kitchen. It felt like we were home. Great communication with Andrew while booking.

Highlights:
- view is even better than described/pictured
- fireplace on cool April nights was AMAZING, and the house had plenty of firewood. We enjoyed it every single night
- kayaks were awesome, and the water feels safe and protected (we didn't go far, but you could easily go all the way out to Nauset)
- birds!!!! From egrets to chickadees, something to see every day
- downstairs room/suite complete with TV and bath for the teenagers, who loved having their own personal space
- super well equipped kitchen
- lovely walk around the marsh all the way out to the outer beach
- or, an easier and shorter walk to Nauset Beach along the main road

What else to say? Pretty perfect for our group of three adults and two kids. In fact, we wanted to book again for September but already full! Will try for another off season stay soon. Thank you to Andrew for making this such an easy and pleasant booking experience and for providing a truly comfortable home.

My family spent the week at this lovely home again. We enjoyed the beautiful views, cozy fireplace, and quiet, natural location. The house was well supplied and immaculately clean. There is plenty of room to spread out, so important to us after a long pandemic winter.

Close to beautiful beaches, and great restaurants. We really enjoy the peace of the Cape off season. This home allows guests to cook family dinners, or dine out, take quiet walks, play games, toast marshmallows and recharge. It has every modern amenity, while feeling close to nature.

I highly recommend the house, location and owners!

We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful home Summer 2020 and Spring 2021. Both were equally wonderful. The views.....the views.....just idyllic. We enjoyed long walks on the beach, wonderful home made dinners created in the well stocked kitchen, comfy beds. Andrew and his team are responsive and wonderful to work with. I have no criticism of this beautiful place!

We didn't want to leave. No really, we absolutely didn't want to leave. In fact we booked another stay before we left...

So we rented for the view. All the beauty of Cape Cod without leaving your living room. In fact you can experience beautiful water views from all the rooms. But we ended up appreciating so much more. First the house was clean, really clean. The beds were comfortable, the furnishings tasteful, and the location first rate.

Andrew and his support team did a great job.... Rereading this review, I hope I didn't just make it impossible for us to find an opening to book again....It was exceptional.

Just returned from four off-season nights in this wonderful home. The panoramic views are to die for - truly the best we have ever had in a rental home. Tucked away in a private neighborhood in Orleans and extremely quiet but a quick drive to Nauset Farms or downtown for takeout/groceries. Andrew was the most gracious host, checking in regularly before, during and after our trip. He even left us stocked with firewood! Plenty of room for 2-3 families, a kitchen with everything you could need, and extremely clean. Already planning our return trip to this amazing home. Thank you Andrew!

My family and I spent 2 marvelous weeks during the Christmas holidays at this incredible house. The views from the house are amazing, and during the cold winter days when time outside was limited, those views still allowed us to enjoy the beauty of the Cape. The path around Mill Pond is almost right outside the door, and so we took beautiful walks almost daily around the pond and on to Nauset Beach: it was absolutely wonderful. And the fireplace in the living room was greatly enjoyed: it was so nice to gather together in front of a warm fire on the cold winter evenings!

The house is beautiful and extremely comfortable. It was immaculate when we arrived. The open layout of the living space made it easy to enjoy time together. The kitchen is well-equipped, and made cooking and baking a joy. The house is perfect in every way.

The owner made renting the house extremely easy and enjoyable. He responded quickly to any question we had, and made us feel very welcome.

I recommend this house without hesitation! Staying at this house truly made this holiday season one to remember. Many, many thanks, Andrew!

My family and I spent Thanksgiving week at this beautiful and unique home. Everything was absolutely perfect! Gorgeous views directly from multiple rooms, gourmet kitchen, spacious accommodations for many family members. We enjoyed a week of togetherness in front of the cozy fireplace (there are two!), cooked meals together, walked on gorgeous beaches, and watched both sunrises and sunsets. Andrew was extremely kind and communicative. He has obviously gone out of his way to make sure every guest is comfortable and has everything needed to have a wonderful stay. Scrupulously clean, and greeted with lovely fresh flowers, supplied with Covid necessities, labeled cabinets, plenty of firewood, and did I mention the amazing views? We even contemplated a second week! I don't think the house could possibly be improved upon.

The views from this home are spectacular. The layout is well designed to produce comfort and access to the the views. Grandview Estates is a quiet, private development with large well designed beautiful homes. Renting from Andrew was easy, with no hitches. We had a great time at this home and hope to return.

It was a lovely week in Orleans in a great house in a fabulous location. The views are spectacular, the house very comfortable and the landlord extremely well organized! Couldn't have been a better getaway!

The pictures do not do this place justice. It is an amazing home with an amazing set up. Plenty of rooms and beds for any size group. The best feature is the huge deck that overlooks the water. We spent a good portion of our time together outside on that deck and wish we could've stayed longer. Lastly, the communication with the landlord, Andrew, was top notch. Quick response time and is there to help you with anything you need. If you are planning a trip to the Cape, this is the place you want to stay. 100% recommend.

The week we spent at Andrew's home was so special that I literally cried when we left. Andrew's attention to detail was impeccable. The location of the house, perched above the beautiful pond, made us feel as though we were on the end of the earth. We spent lazy days kayaking (kayaks provided) playing family games and grilling (well stocked kitchen). We made s'mores over the fire pit in the evening and sang over the camp fire. We took long walks around the swanky neighborhood and to Nauset Beach, went for ice cream at the ice cream cafe and took in lobsters from the local fish store. It was THE most relaxing family vacation we have had in a long time! Thank you Andrew!

PS Mike, the gentleman who cares for the house is a totally great guy and very responsive!

Our stay in Orleans was better than we could have ever imagined. The association beach was in close proximity to the house - perfect for kayaking, exploring, and watching the kids swim all day. If you are eager to look for wildlife, the location has a lot to offer, from all sizes of fish to docile seals bobbing their heads up and down in the waves. The area is also a home to many species of sea birds and bottom dwelling horseshoe crabs.

The home itself is a gem, and we were quite pleased with the cleanliness of the house upon arrival. There were plenty of beds for our family of 5. Quite possibly the best thing about the house was the large outdoor deck, which looked over much of Mill Pond and out to the Nauset dunes. It's a great location to eat dinner on warm nights, relax, and watch the sunset fade. This house was the comfortable Cape getaway we needed, and we will no doubt return!

We knew we were in for an amazing week once we drove up to the house with its spectacular views of Mill Pond. The house is in a great location and had everything we needed for a enjoyable vacation on the Cape. A great wrap around deck with views of the well maintained landscaped yard, trails, the surrounding wildlife including bunnies and a variety of birds and of course, the breathtaking water views and the seals. The deck is also great for entertaining with plenty of seating and an expandable outdoor dining table and Weber grill, ideal for having cookouts. The Pond is perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding, and a swim. Nauset Beach is close by for a nice walk, run, or quick bike ride down to the beach. There is plenty of room in the house for a family to spread out or enjoy sitting down at the game table for some quality family time.

We will be back again next year! Looking forward to it!

Andrew, the property owner, was very helpful, responsive and informative. It is a pleasure dealing with him. He provided very detailed information on the property and surrounding area and anticipated any questions a guest may have including a thorough information packet provided as well as a separate listing of FAQs. It was much appreciated especially since it was our first time at this property.

What a wonderful week at Mill Race! The moment we pulled down the street we knew we would be in for a spectacular vacation! We spent many evenings sitting on the wrap around deck enjoying the views! The house was fully equipped and the owner could not have been any more responsive or detailed in his communication. We will be back!

Hello Andrew,

We wanted to let you know how much we loved our time at your home. From the moment we stepped through the door we were captivated by the gorgeous views over the Mill Pond and out to the dunes of Nauset. With plenty of space, privacy and lovely views, your beautiful house made us all feel right at home. Everything was sparkling clean, so we could settle right in, feeling safe and comfortable, even in the midst of a pandemic.

We enjoyed kayaking, clamming (properly licensed of course) and swimming on the Mill Pond and ventured by kayak and on foot to the quiet end of Nauset to enjoy open-ocean views throughout the week. Meals, naps and reading on the deck made it our favorite post-beach retreat.

We look forward to coming back next year.

Our family had a great week at this well situated Orleans rental. The location is just ideal - overlooking a saltwater pond that feeds the bays and into the ocean. The week we were there we watched three seals and couple dolphins from the porch. The provided kayaks were great for exploring the pond (and yes, watching the seals up close). The kids swam in the pond out to the small jetty and enjoyed being up close with the local wildlife. The house is a quick bike or 15 minute walk to Nauset Beach. Town and main thoroughfares are also close by. The home was clean and bright and well thought out. Andrew was readily available and a great host. The house was fully stocked. We would definitely return.

The location of this home is divine. Access to the warm water of the mill pond is steps away and offers a wonderful place to kayak, paddle board, swim and bird watch. It's s short drive to Nauset Beach and the other ocean beaches.

The huge deck offers gorgeous views and a place to have outdoor dinners and morning coffee.

The house is well stocked with every kitchen/laundry/sleeping supply you could want.
Sleeping arrangements are a little quirky, e.g., a shared shower upstairs, and there is no comfortable place for all to gather to watch a movie, but overall a comfortable place to enjoy everything the Cape has to offer.

Our family of six (grandparents, parents, and grandkids) has a wonderful time at this house in late June. The pictures do not do it justice.The house is large, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The wrap-around deck provides stunning views, as promised. The best part was the access to a lovely saltwater pond, perfect for swimming (there is a dock) and launching the 2 kayaks that come with the house. It's not evident from the pictures on the website, but the mini-beach to the pond is only about 30 feet away from the house. We could watch the grandkids swim while sitting on the deck! It's a tidal pond that leads out to Nauset Beach, one of the best ocean beaches on the Cape. The owner also provides beach toys, umbrellas, chairs, and coolers-- everything you need for a wonderful vacation. Our grandchildren cannot wait to come back next summer.

The house and landscaped grounds were beautiful. Many beach rentals are bare-bones, but that was not the case here. The kitchen was fully-equipped, we had access to a gas grill, and all the beds were extremely comfortable. The air-conditioning was needed (and appreciated) for the second-floor bedrooms (we didn't need it for the first floor, as the breezes cooled everything down). It was clear that this was a well-loved and well-cared for home that the owners were sharing with you. Communication with Andrew (the owner) was fast and easy, and there is a local property manager to contact if necessary.

We had a great stay at this home. I could not recommend it more highly.It is perfect for a multi-generational family or two families sharing the home. East Orleans is also a perfect location on the Cape, secluded, with easy waterfront access, yet close to stores and restaurants. All in all, a wonderful experience.

A beautiful home with most serene and magnificent views of Mill Pond stretching to the ocean and Nauset Beach. The house has all the comforts of home with open and bright living spaces including a wonderful fully equipped kitchen, a sunny enclosed outdoor shower and a deck that makes you feel as if you are on a boat with the water surrounding you.

There are a number of lovely nature trails around the property and kayaks available as well to explore the water.

This home makes for a memorable vacation experience.
