Lakefront Retreat w/ Deck, Dock, Sandy Beach, 5 watercraft
Orleans Vacation Rental - ID 36890

My wife visited here with our 10 year-old daughter, our 9 year-old daughters and our 7 year-old son. What an awesome location for a family vacation. Crystal lake is the best kept secret on Cape Cod. Our week consisted of taking the kayaks, paddle boards to the opposite end of the public beach, a 2-minute drive into Orleans village to jump on the bike trail, grab dinner and ice cream, mini golf, local shopping etc., 5-minute drive from both Nauset Beach (ocean) and Skaket Beach (bay), 15 minute drive down to Chatham, 20 minute drive up to provincetown for a whale watch. Everything is within striking distance. Andrew was very responsive throughout the process. We can't wait to get back to Crystal lake and this rental unit! You can't go wrong with this unit.

Beautiful setting along with kayaks and SUPS to use on the lake. Everything was as described and very clean. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We had a wonderful stay! Andrew was incredibly responsive, the townhouse was comfortable and three minutes from Orleans' Main Street. The dining table is perfectly sized for board games, and we enjoyed watching the snow fall over Crystal Lake.

- Five stars -

Great stay! Served as our base of operations for our tours of Orleans, Chatham, and P-Town. Did get a chance to fly fish using the canoe and picked up 6-7 yellow perch, but zero recently stocked rainbow trout. Probably operator error on that one. Place was clean and well-stocked with great views of the lake. Thanks!!

We had a wonderful time in this beautifully located, cozy house right by a lake with crystal-clear water. Everything was perfectly arranged and we immediately felt at home. The house is well equipped, comfortable, and ideal for relaxing. Swimming in the lake was a highlight and made our stay very special. From the house and terrace we enjoyed a wonderful view of the lake. Its location in Orleans on Cape Cod also made it easy to reach the beautiful beaches on both the Atlantic and bay sides within a short distance. We truly enjoyed every moment and would love to come back. Highly recommended!

We had a beautiful week at Andrew's lake house. Everything was clean and new and the whole house felt spacious. Andrew paid a lot of attention to details - there were games and puzzles, kitchen supplies, grocery bags, laundry detergent - everything one might want or need on a vacation. We loved the lake and went swimming and kayaking every day. The outdoor shower was a huge plus because it helped us keep sand out of the house. We'd love to come back in the future!

We had another wonderful stay on Pond Lake. The condo was very clean and comfortable. It's a great location to relax and unwind! Spent a lot of time down at the water, enjoying the kayaks and paddleboards. This was our 21st year in the same spot! We will 100% be returning next year! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Husband and I came for Cape Cod Baseball and cycling. This location in Orleans was 1/4 mile from Firebirds field and less than a mile from bike rental at Orleans Cycle adjacent to the Cape Cod Rail Trail. It was immaculate and fit our needs perfectly. Owner Andrew was readily available to all our needs. The pond is amazing although we only enjoyed it from the dock. Great place for a swim! One warning, if you have cranky old knees, bring your hiking sticks to get up and down the hillside!

This was the perfect place to stay for a quick trip to the Cape! And being right on the water at the lake was a huge perk. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect host, location on a lake, very near to beach, great restaurants and grocery stores.

Andrew was an awesome host. The condo had everything you could need and was very clean and tastefully decorated. Unfortunately we had to leave early due to a family emergency. Will definitely return! Thank you, Andrew.

Another amazing stay at this home in Orleans, MA! We have been coming to this exact spot for 20 years! The new owners have done a really nice job updating this space and adding lots of little touches. The living room was such a nice space to relax and enjoy some time with family. The rental was very quiet, clean, and cozy! We thoroughly enjoyed spending time on the newly renovated dock on the lake. We have already begun looking into dates for our return trip next year! Thank you for all your love and attention to the space. We had a very relaxing week!

We just returned from our 1st trip to the Cape. The entire rental process was a breeze. The host, Andrew provided us with every single detail we could possibly want to know about the home and surrounding areas before arrival! Makes such a huge difference when you're in an unfamiliar location. We arrived to a clean space with plenty of towels, fresh linens on beds & nice little care packages in case you forgot any essentials. The location on Crystal Lake can't be beat. You could unpack and not leave the property. The use of shared paddle boards & kayaks was a fun bonus! Orleans is also a great jumping off point mid Cape for exploring the nearby towns. So many different activities in either direction. If we visit the Cape again, we would rent from Andrew without hesitation. Thanks for sharing your peaceful retreat, Andrew!

5 stars all the way. Andrew was an incredible host and thought of every detail in order to make our stay comfortable. The house was perfect for us and featured comfortable beds, modern bathroom and kitchen, nice amenities, air conditioning, supplies, etc. and we enjoyed every minute in the house and on the beautiful lake. Our only issue was that we couldn't extend our stay for another week! Highly recommend!

Excellent Experience! Beautiful place to stay, newly renovated, enjoyed being in Orleans. My young adult daughter enjoyed it, too. We made popovers in the kitchen to bring to a relative's house - kitchen even had muffin pans, so we were good to go.

This townhouse is located close to the center of Orleans, and close to both the National Seashore and Bay beaches. The condo community consists of a house, a cottage, and two attached duplex townhouses. All share the grounds, including the lakefront property. The lake is lovely. Single-person kayaks are provided, which we used and were a lot of fun. The unit has a patio with outdoor table and chairs and an outdoor shower. The unit was spotless and well-equipped. Everything you might need in the kitchen was provided. Knives were sharp (a rarity in a rental). Full-size washer/dryer and dishwasher were included. Sliders in living room opened to the patio and had a nice view of the lake. The two bedrooms were upstairs; one had a lake view. The unit was spotless and it was easy to communicate with the host. Highly recommend!

Fantastic place and location!

The place was exactly as described and seen in the photos. Everything we could have needed and then some was in the house. Extremely quiet neighborhood was fantastic for sleeping. Everything in town was a 3-minute drive so the location couldn't be beat. The lake was very clean and fun to swim out to the floating platform. We met some of the neighbors who were very friendly and welcoming. The outdoor shower was probably my favorite. Being able to be outside with total privacy and looking up at the trees was amazing. I can't say enough good things about this place. Andrew was super accommodating and gracious. If you're looking for a place to stay on the Cape, make this your spot. Orleans is one of my favorite towns on the Cape and I now have a new favorite place to stay when I visit.

We loved our stay on the lake. It was an amazing property right on the lake and Andrew was super communicative before and throughout our stay. Comfortable, good AC and every detail was thought through to make the experience pleasant.

This was a lovely place to stay. Great location, quiet and private but also close to shops, restaurants and beaches. The owner has left no detail overlooked making this an excellent place for a worry free vacation. Very well stocked kitchen for cooking and baking. Excellent knives which are usually dull or lacking in most rentals. Comfortable furniture including couch and beds. Nice linens and towels provided including towels for the beach/lake. Plenty of surfaces and spots to stow your stuff without seeming cluttered. Very good sound system in the living room and easy to use smart TV's. Very clean when we arrived. Excellent resources from and easy communication with the owner. I can highly recommend and we will be returning.

We loved that the house was on the lake unfortunately we never had much time to spend on the lake except at night but it was still beautiful and peaceful. The home was comfortable and clean. Beds are very firm but worked well, I do prefer a soft mattress. This home worked very well for me as I had a training down the street at the Cape Cod institute and it was mere minutes from rental to training. Andrew is probably the most responsive owner I have ever worked with. I would highly recommend!

My family recently stayed at this amazing rental right on the beautiful Crystal Lake. The property has a shared dock, kayaks, canoe and large swimming area perfect for all your lake life needs. The backyard is also huge with a large, yet sloped, grassy area for enjoyment. The location couldn't be better; close to groceries, beaches, restaurants and fun, but also set back off the road ensuring privacy and tranquility. The property supplied everything including sheets and towels. All areas were clean and welcoming. The host is very responsive and accommodating. My family loved it here and we will be renting here again!!!

What an amazing stay at this home in Orleans, MA! We have been coming to this exact spot for 19 years! The new owners have done a really nice job updating this space and adding lots of little touches. Very quiet, clean, and cozy! The new dock on the lake is wonderful! We will definitely be back next year. Thank you for all your love and attention to the space. We had a very relaxing week!

My wife and I spent so many hours looking through homes to rent in the Orleans area, so hopefully this review will save someone time and headache. This property was so wonderful - it exceeded our expectations in every way! The house was super-clean with lots of space to relax. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and we slept soundly. The kitchen is filled with new appliances. And the owner Andrew was just such a kind and caring host. And the lake - oh, my, the lake. Crystal Lake, named due to its crystal clear water, is a revelation! Easily one of the most beautiful lakes we have ever swam in...and we were in it as much as we could be! Again, we looked at what felt like a zillion places to stay. We feel so lucky that we ended up here. Will definitely be returning next summer!!!

We stayed at the condo over the week of 4th of July and enjoyed all of its amenities. The owner was very thoughtful with providing sunscreen, bug spray, and towels in case you needed them. The condo was family friendly, we brought our 3 year old and she had a blast in the lake. The deck has stairs down to the lake and the lake was sandy with no rocks. The lake water was warm and we used the kayak on a daily basis. We didn't have any issues during our stay but the owner was very responsive and checked in on us over the week. This was our first time staying in Orleans and recommend the area. It's very centrally located.
