About this property

4 miles to beaches & 1 mile to lakes! Family friendly, Central A/C, full kitchen

This spacious and sunlit contemporary post and beam home with cathedral ceilings is ideally located near town and privately situated on a hill. It is within walking distance of downtown Orleans (dining, shopping and Cape League Baseball games) with close proximity to town landings, Nauset Beach, and so much more! The long shell driveway leads through a newly planted orchard to the top of a hill to the front gate that opens up to a secluded and serene yard.

The home has three levels of living, and an expansive exterior front deck and rear patio with custom pergola that is located off the kitchen which makes perfect indoor/outdoor entertaining space for small family gatherings. A grand brick gas fireplace in the living room opens to the ceiling for those cool nights. The lofted third floor area offers additional living space, and there is a walkout finished lower level. There are 5 bedrooms, and several sleeping areas with beds for a total of 10 guests comfortably.

Amenities include a dishwasher, washer/dryer, coffee maker and an outdoor shower - linens and bathroom towels are provided. Beach toys and games, beach umbrellas and beach chairs, beach towels are available.

Rentals are generally weekends only with three night minimums July through August. Prices average $1,750/night in July and $2,000/night in August. There is no television and WiFi can be turned on if desired. Newly installed aluminum roof minimizes EMF exposure. Graham Stetzer filters installed minimize dirty electricity. Water quality report on request. Orleans water is quite good for the Cape as tested from this tap. Kitchen sink and shower water filters installed. Spa and shower products will be restocked in all bathrooms and showers upon your arrival. Organic garden produce available to pick in season. Please specify desired produce with your reservation and if possible we will plant to coordinate harvest time with your stay. This is a true sanctuary. Looking for more activities besides time on the beach? Explore the beautiful bike trails nearby. We only have a few reviews since we have done many renovations and could not rent out for the last several years as major repairs were underway. Ideally we would like to have the same weeks with the same renters booked each year and have these few be accommodated according to their needs. If you have read this far then thank you for your attention. This is not your average vacation rental!

Girls’ weekend
This house was amazing! We stayed here for a girls’ weekend and it was absolutely perfect. The house is gorgeous and kept extremely clean. It was spacious and perfect for our group. The location was great - we were able to take trips to Chatham and Wellfleet as well as relax at the house. The hosts were also very accommodating and always quick to reply if I had questions. I would highly recommend this property and hope to stay here again!

Relaxing & Beautiful
The home is so beautiful and slept our group of 10 perfectly. The home has spa like features and a mostly open concept. The kitchen was well equipped and the home having 10 beach chairs available was super helpful. Close to both Nausset and Skaket beaches. Would recommend !

About the host

Hosted by Majka & Richard Kendall

Host profile image
Our family has worked in hospitality for about 20 years and mostly on Cape Cod. We are trying to create a special summer rental for those special occasions. Our home is a work in progress and we only have a few rentals each summer. We will continue to make improvements to the property and so our guests can enjoy a unique experience. Please leave constructive criticism and so that we can make improvements accordingly.

Why they chose this property

Situated on an acre on top of a hill, this property is unique in that it allows for privacy while being close to Town and beaches. This property should allow our guests to enjoy the local area without the need to drive and waste precious vacation time in traffic as the summer is a busy time for the Cape! Updated appliances and utilities should provide our guests with trouble-free vacationing.

What makes this property unique

3 full baths and outdoor shower as well as a solar/gas hot water heater should provide adequate hot water for cleaning up after a beach day and for dinner time. Gardens outside are organic and will hopefully add to your meals. Outdoor fire pit will be developed into a relaxing area but can now be used as is in it's crude state.
