About this property

A comfortable house in a quiet neighborhood, but close to EVERYTHING Cape Cod.

Charming location just across the road from Baker's Pond. The house is spacious with beautiful hardwood floors throughout and central air. The comforts of home include cable TV in living room, Wi-Fi, main floor washer and dryer. The kitchen has it all: dishwasher, microwave, blender, toaster, coffee maker and of course, a lobster pot. You will love the openness between the breakfast room and kitchen.
You are also welcome to use the garage and any barbecue and recreation equipment you find.
The location is ideal...a short 5-min walk to the tucked-away, sandy beach on Baker's Pond. You can swim, kayak, canoe or fish. This pond is stocked with trout and small-mouth bass.
Explore the 'Ancient Way'--back roads into Nickerson State Park. Great for a WALKING adventure. It's accessible about 2 blocks/10-min walk up the road Directions to the 'Ancient Way' is in our guest book.
There are big waves at Nauset Beach, a 10-min drive, where you can swim, boogie board or just walk the long expanse of the Cape Cod National Seashore.
Skaket Beach, on Cape Cod Bay, is only a 5-min drive away. The water is warmer than Nauset and at low tide you can walk out for almost a mile.
Rock Harbor(free parking) is just a little past Skaket Beach. Arrange a fishing trip on one of the many charter boats or just watch them bring in their catch. Rock Harbor is another good spot to walk out "on the flats" at low tide. Really fun for kids! And don't miss the sunset on Cape Cod Bay-WOW!
This is a lovely house, always meant to be enjoyed, in a perfect Cape Cod location.

Perfect Cape Getaway

We had a wonderful week at this property. The space worked great for our family of four. The house is in a fantastic location, set off from the street and a short walk away from a terrific public pond. The mossy and partially shaded yard was amazing for our two toddlers, and the living room and bedrooms were well balanced and comfortable for the group.

The house was wonderful and perfect for our family of four. We felt very at home and it was obvious it is loved and cared for! We have stayed in many different houses on the Cape, and this is one of our favorites so far! There was so much space in the living and dining areas. The bedrooms had ample space and the beds were so comfortable We had everything we needed, and it’s in a great location near many of our favorite places, Nauset Beach, kayKing on Nauset Marsh, Nickerson State Park, biking, Cooke’s Seafood and Bancock Thai to name a few. Central AC and laundry are such perks!Thank you!

Very Comfortable Home

I do not use the word home lightly. This property feels like home, not a rental. It is in a fairly secluded quiet location but very close to our favorite beaches on both the ocean and bay side. Thank you again for a perfect stay.

Wonderful week at the Hinkle House

We truly enjoyed our week. The house is spacious yet cozy and we had everything we needed. (On our wish list if one is picky though, would perhaps be an outdoor propane grill.) The area is kind of secluded with lots of trees surrounding the house. But the 6 Highway is very close and something you clearly hear when being outside. We really enjoyed Bakers pond, a 2-min walk away, for morning and evening swims. Also Cliff Pond some 25-min walk away through beautiful Nickerson State Park was perfect. The owners where very helpful and answered very fast when we contacted them. Thank you Carol och Guy!

Great Location in a Wooded Setting

The fully furnished home (minus linens) is in a secluded wooded section of Orleans near Bakers Pond. Access to the pond is just down the road, as is the trailhead into the conservation land. Drive a few minutes and you can enjoy the expansive beaches of the Cape Cod National Seashore. The screened breezeway at the house provided a very pleasant seating area with no mosquitoes. If you want to save time, order groceries ahead online at Shaws and choose the convenient and free drive up and go option.

Exactly What We Needed

Our stay at 11 Hinkle Lane was perfectly relaxing and comfortable. The home is spacious and has many of the necessities you would need throughout your stay. A great location for local beaches and activities, and Bakers Pond is just a short walk from the house - for a nice afternoon swim. We are very happy we chose this home.

Perfect Cape Cod Getaway

10 minutes from Skaket Beach and Rock Harbor, this property was perfect for our family of fours summer vacation. A very comfortable house with an endearing history. Lots of space, comfortable beds, well fitted kitchen, and air conditioning! What a difference that makes. A great location, away from the major tourism bustle but close enough to all the interesting places to visit. We highly recommend it and when we go back to the Cape in the future, hope this home is still available. Lifelong memories from a wonderful trip.

I was very pleased with the property. The air conditioning was very much appreciated.

My family and I were very pleased with the property. Although there were only two bedrooms, there was plenty of room for entertaining and privacy. The two full bathrooms were adequate for a family and a few guests. An additional positive feature of the house was the air conditioning. The system worked very well and the week we were there we were very comfortable despite the 90 degree days. The house was located well off the street in a quiet neighborhood thus ensuring privacy.

Cape Cod at it's finest

My wife and I spent our 20th anniversary at this property. The amenities were second to none. The feel was warm and comfortable, very much like home. Impeccably maintained, quiet and clean, the location couldn't be better, minutes from the bay and the ocean, we were in heaven. Baker's Pond, right across the street, was an amazing place to swim and just relax sitting on the beach soaking up the sun and getting to meet some of the locals. The owners were kind enough to give us directions to a little out of the way parking area at Rock Harbor, what amazing sunsets! Sunrises at Nauset beach were well worth getting up for. We enjoyed the proximity to the diverse selection of dining establishments in Orleans. The property owners were so helpful in suggesting areas of interest and some of their favorite restaurants to try, they truly made our stay memorable. Thank you.

My parents, who loved the Cape, built this home in 1978 after my father retired from the Milwaukee Police Department. We have decided to keep the property in the family as a getaway place for us and to allow others to enjoy the beauty of Cape Cod as well.
