A few quick highlights:
- Location: An easy walk to Skaket Beach for epic beach days and scenic Cape Cod sunsets.
- Your own space: A large, sun-filled bedroom and a completely private, modern bathroom—no sharing required.
- Quiet & respectful: It’s a shared home, but layout-wise, it feels incredibly private and peaceful.
- Dog-friendly: Well-behaved pups are always welcome.
Welcome to my home in Orleans—the heart of Cape Cod. This is a space designed for those who want to slow down and reconnect with nature. Your spacious, sun-filled room overlooks a lush backyard full of perennials and visiting birds. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the rear deck or rinsing off in the fan-favorite outdoor shower after a day at the beach, the atmosphere here is casual, cozy, and distinctly "Old Cape."
The Space - This lovely Cape House was built in the 1950's in the typical 3-season Cape Cod summer cottage-like style. After many renovations, it has become a modern 3-bedroom cutie. It is a very comfortable, quiet home, close to all that Orleans has to offer, with a partial bay view.<br />
<br />
The Neighborhood - Located in a quiet, accessible area of Orleans. We are a short walk to the sunset views at Skaket Beach and a quick drive into town for local shops and dining. Restaurants, bicycling, whale watching, water sports, and hanging out in the backyard or at the beach are all main attractions. The house is an easy walk to Skaket Beach, with Nauset Beach just 4 miles away.<br />
<br />
Orleans is centrally located, so it is close to Wellfleet, Truro, and Chatham, and still only about 45 minutes away from Provincetown. You can be in Boston in less than 2 hours, and NYC in under 5 hours if need be.<br />
<br />
Guest access: <br />
Your Room: A large, airy bedroom with a comfortable bed and plenty of natural light.<br />
The Outdoors: Full access to the gardens and the deck.<br />
Custom Outdoor Shower: A true highlight of the property. Rinse off after the beach under a luxurious overhead rain shower, beautifully framed by custom woodwork that resembles a serene Japanese temple. It’s the ultimate way to unwind and reconnect with nature.<br />
The Amenities: High-speed WiFi, easy parking, and local recommendations for the best hidden gems on the Cape.<br />
<br />
Private & Shared Spaces:<br />
While this is a shared-home experience, your comfort and privacy are a priority.<br />
Modern Private Bathroom: You will have exclusive access to your own updated, modern bathroom—no need to worry about sharing!<br />
Shared Kitchen: You are welcome to use the kitchen to prepare light meals; it’s a functional, shared space where you can feel right at home.<br />
<br />
Other things to note:<br />
A Note on the Vibe: This is a lived-in, "homey" space shared with myself and my friendly dog, Pearl. If you are looking for a sterile, hotel-like environment, this might not be the right fit. However, if you appreciate a house with soul, a bit of character, and a stunning garden, you will feel right at home.<br />
