Cape Magic Here

We just loved our stay here—the neighborhood is private and the house had everything we needed, including a coffee grinder, Tupperware, and nightlights! We brought a kayak and paddle board, and the kids loved all the amazing sea life on the bay. 10/10.

Great stay in Orleans

Wonderful location in Orleans with access to a unique beach on Pleasant Bay that is great for kayaking and offers lots of things to explore for younger kids. 15 minute bike ride to Nauset Beach and an easy drive to Skaket. Lots of good food options nearby as well. The house was very clean and full of charm. As a family with older kids we had plenty of things to do. Christy was a great host and very responsive. Check in was a breeze. We are very happy with our stay here.

Terrific private and comfortable Cape Cod house

The house is in a terrific location, very private and quiet, easy drive or long walk to Nauset Beach. There is a nice deck for sitting outside and watching the birds. The private beach area is great, although we didn't end up using it very much. The house is a beautiful original Cape style but kitchen and bath are updated and everything is very comfortable and well-equipped. Very easy to get in and plenty of communication from the host. Note that there is only one full bath, plus an outdoor shower. Upstairs bedroom has AC which was really nice during some very hot and humid days. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely home with a great host

We had a wonderful stay at Christy's home! Communication with Christy was excellent! She was super responsive and available when we needed her, allowing for an early check in and helping us resolve a few issues that cropped up (that weren’t her fault). The house has so many amenities - well stocked kitchen supplies, beach chairs and toys, extra blankets, outdoor shower and great/huge attached shed/mudroom, charcoal grill, lots of fans. AC in the second floor bedroom which would otherwise have been unbearably hot (but don’t expect it to cool the downstairs too, and instead enjoy the sea air!). Lovely private beach that my daughter spent many hours catching sea creatures in (an astounding variety!). Ground was a little gunky for my taste for regular swimming, but fine for a quick dip. And the house is so close to so many other awesome beach options for swimming that it doesn't really matter. Check out the beach on Pleasant Bay by the town landing for a hidden gem. Close to Chatham, the bike path, all the Cape things you would want. Highly recommend this spot!
