Description

Description

Newly Rentable for 2023. Welcome to The Salty Sweet Cottage - a 'Sweet', quaint 1890 quintessential Cape Cottage. - The Cottage is completely restored with all new appliances, bathrooms, kitchen, game room, living room, sun porch, patio and outdoor shower. Antique and one of a kind furnishings adorn every room. The entire house has unique antiques and curated paintings and artwork throughout.

Centrally located on a dead end street in Orleans, the Salty Sweet Cottage is right on the Cape Cod Rail Trail making a bike ride to Skaket Beach (four beach chairs are here for you) or Downtown Orleans is just four minutes from home. Skaket Beach is perfect for young children - never rough. You can walk out at low tide for a mile! We are four miles from Nauset Beach voted the best beach on Cape Cod!

Beautifully landscaped with an inviting sun porch and patio area and outdoor shower, the cottage has multiple meeting areas for conversation, music, games, WIFI, or big screen TV with YoutubeTV (all channels), Netflix, Prime and Hulu. The large lush green lawn has room for croquet, corn hole, volleyball, badminton and touch football.

The Cottage features four bedrooms, one downstairs with a queen bed off the Game room and three upstairs - two with queen beds and one with a twin all appointed with a care for detail.

The Cottage opens to a Sun Porch, with comfortable couch and chairs and a beautiful view. Next you enter the Game room or den. The living room with dining area comes next. This room has the large screen TV with comfortable couch/lounge chairs and table; it makes this the ideal place to unwind at the end of a beach day to watch a movie or series. The dining area seats six comfortably with a beautiful glass table. The new patio off the kitchen has a new Victory barbeque (with an extra propane tank for your convenience) and also has seating for six.

The completely remodeled kitchen comes next with all new Italian SMEG appliances and Bertazzoni range, a quartzite countertop.. It comes complete with toaster, microwave, coffee maker and well as all new silver and dinnerware and other typical cooking utensils.. The downstairs half bath off the kitchen has a custom built cabinet that holds a new Miele washer and drier. The new outdoor shower with changing room behind the house makes for a perfect second, and most days, preferable Cape shower.

The cottage has all refinished original southern pine and douglas fir flooring with stairs to the second floor landing leading to the beautiful three bedrooms. One bedroom has a queen sized white bed frame with closet and dresser. Another upstairs bedroom has a four poster queen bed with a closet. The third upstairs bedroom, perfect for your little one, has a twin bed or can accommodate a crib.

The upstairs bathroom has a clear glass enclosed shower with a beautiful custom designed mirror and vanity.

The kitchen leads to a large patio with brick deck and large area for gathering. The patio has a teak table and chairs with seating for six, a new Victory Barbeque, and additional cocktail gathering area for six.

We hope you come and enjoy our efforts in making a home away from home for your next Cape Cod Vacation in Orleans.

    Beautiful Cottage

    We had another great stay at the Salty Sweet Cottage. Beautifully decorated with antiques and comfy sofas. The owners are wonderful and quick to respond to any questions you may have. A wonderful location in Orleans and centrally located. Right on the rail trail and close to shopping and the beaches, Nauset being our favorite! Thank you Bill and Debbie for hosting our family. We had a lovely week!

    Gorgeous home and great homeowners

    First of all, walking into the house to an array of welcome gifts was so thoughtful! I won't say what they were so I don't ruin anyone else's suprise but they were definitely perfect for our family.
    We loved the comfy couches and pretty decor and furnishings all around the house. The kids loved the yard and they had so many outdoor toys and beach equipment available that we really didn't have to bring anything. Bill was so quick to answer any and all of my questions before and during the rental which was so helpful. We highly recommend staying here and loved that we could bring our pup to such a nice house with us. show more show less

    Our Stay at Salty Sweet Cottage

    Yard area was awesome to play games, a swing was an extra bonus. Location was absolutely perfect. Great isolated location, our Pup did not want to leave. Enjoyed cooking on the grill and eating outside. The beds were comfortable, and the porch was a great way to sit and relax. Thank you, Bill and Debbie, for letting us share your home.

    A Dream House

    Debbie and Bill's cottage is an absolute gem! The location is perfect for enjoying the Orleans area of the Cape (ideal for families), including easy access to the rail trail and a quick bike ride to Skaket Beach. The renovation of this home is beyond impressive and Debbie's decor makes it feel warm, cozy and luxurious. There was ample room for our family of three generations, including a sweet little room for our grandson. We highly recommend Sweet Salty Cottage and will be looking forward to our return. show more show less

    Wonderful Two Weeks in Orleans!

    We spent two weeks at this beautiful home in Orleans. No detail has been overlooked - there were so many charming details: a drawer full of cute table linens, beautiful light fixtures, high quality dishes and silverware, etc. The hosts were extremely responsive via text to all communications and we could tell they really care about their home. They even left a lovely gift bag with a handwritten welcome card. I highly recommend this rental!

    The Perfect Cape Escape

    Our family called The Salty Sweet Cottage home for a week as part of my wife's birthday celebrations. Having stayed in numerous rentals across Cape Cod over the years, I can easily say this property outshines all others. Very rarely do you find a premier location (property set quite literally on the bike path, minutes from Skaket Beach and restaurants/shops) paired with an equally perfect house. The SSC delivers both! This inviting property was charmingly decorated and expertly stocked with everything our young family could need. There were enough bedrooms/living spaces to comfortably accommodate the 3 of us (including a 14-month-old) and visiting friends. Cozy enough that you always felt connected, but separate enough to allow for quiet time or remote work if desired. We enjoyed hours in the yard playing games (cornhole, ladder ball etc. provided by the hosts), walks along the beautiful bike path, and grilling food on the furnished patio. Good times are guaranteed whether you are in the mood to adventure out for the day, or rest/relax at home. Anyone that has tried to appease the desires of multiple people with various agendas on vacation, you can appreciate this! There is something for EVERYONE! Debbie and Bill are fantastic hosts with seemingly no detail of your stay overlooked. Their reliability and open communication throughout our stay was as refreshing as the outdoor shower (my personal favorite). We simply cannot recommend this listing enough! Looking forward to returning again next year. show more show less

    Best Hosts

    We had the most wonderful time at the Salty Sweet Cottage. The hosts thought of everything a guest would need. The garden is very well kept and the home itself belongs in a magazine. We were so comfortable and plan on coming back. Bill and his wife communicated with us at the drop of a pin to make sure we were enjoying our stay.

    Adorable Cape Cottage

    We stayed at the Salty Sweet Cottage for a long weekend in Oct. The house is exactly how it is described. Every inch of the house is filled with lovely antiques, comfy furniture and a kitchen that has everything you need to prepare meals and snacks. The house is perfectly located on the rail trail so you can hop right on for a morning run , evening walk or long bike rides. We will back in the summer for a week and are so looking forward to more time there in our favorite CC town. The owners were available at a moments notice with any of our questions. We have been traveling to CC on vacation for over 30 years and this house is one of the best we have rented. show more show less

    Fantastic vacation home.

    Our family has been vacationing on the cape the past 26 years; staying between Orleans, Eastham and Brewster during those years. The Salty Sweet Cottage, by far, has been the best place we've stayed to date; everything we wanted or needed was available within the home and within a walking distance. Bill and Debbie were extremely helpful and gracious hosts. We were very appreciative that they were pet-friendly, and went out of the way to make sure even our dogs were accommodated by having a dog bed, food & water bowls, which we never experienced before. The house was truly a beautiful home. We would highly recommend the Salty Sweet Cottage for your next vacation. show more show less

    Fabulous Stay!

    Bill and Debbie were the consummate hosts, extremely responsive during the booking process and before, during, and after our stay. Their home is gorgeous, immaculately clean, and extremely well stocked. Our family of four (kids ages 12 and 14) lacked for nothing during our week in Orleans. The house has plenty of space to spread out and very comfortable beds. We loved the outdoor shower, eating on the patio, cooking in the beautiful kitchen, and walking to town and Skaket Beach. The house is right next to the rail trail for easy bike riding and walking, just a couple minutes away by car to a Shaw's and a number of restaurants, plus quick access by car to Nauset Beach. Tip: Young's Fish Market at nearby Rock Harbor has amazing lobster rolls (take out) for only $18 and they come with an outstanding view - great spot to watch the sunset. Orleans is a super location for heading out toward the National Seashore, Wellfleet, and Provincetown, as well as in the other direction to Chatham, Brewster, and points west on the Cape. We highly recommend a stay at the Salty Sweet Cottage. show more show less

    We are Bill and Debbie and we are new to vacation rentals. We've spent the last year completely restoring 'The Salty Sweet Cottage' - a quaint, original 1890 Cape Cod style cottage in the centrally located town of Orleans. We had rented many times all over the Cape to visit/vacation with our daughter and son and law and now - new baby Isabella....and kept looking for the ideal place to buy and use as a vacation/rental. We'd never rented in the town of Orleans but wow - are we happy we found this place and this town!

    We are originally from California and now live in New Jersey.


    What is special about this property?
    We love the location and the brightness, age and history of the Salty Sweet Cottage. The location on the Cape Cod Rail Trail and how close we are to kid friendly Skaket Beach as well as Sparrow's coffee shop and all the downtown eateries - Rock Harbor Grill, The Beacon, The Hog Island Brewery, Abroad, et al.
    We love the 1/2 acre of lush lawn as well as the compelling patio with seating for six for dining, the Victory Barbeque and traditional outdoor shower with changing room. Our shed has bikes, beach chairs and lawn games as well as extra supplies.

    What is special about your town?
    We think the Skaket Beach in Orleans is the best beach for kids and families on the Cape; you can walk out a mile during low tide and kids can frolic without fear of 'big waves'. If you are into surfing - then Nauset Beach - also in Orleans - is just four miles away.
    The farmers market and artists lofts next to Sparrow are always fun to explore.
