It's all about the view!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. There are two decks and a screened porch and the view from each is fantastic! The neighborhood is quiet and serene, the beach is beautiful, and the host very responsive. All in all, a great place to stay!

Family vacation

We had a great and relaxing stay!! The pictures online do not do this property justice! Very surprised at how spacious the property is. Very well stocked and had everything we needed to make this a relaxing week. There is a short walk to the beach, but once you get there It's great! Property owner was gracious and easy to work with. Great stay!

The Wheelhouse Never Disappoints

Our family has been renting this property for a week or two most summers for the last 20 years. Personally this was my 8th-ish stay at the house. We’ve grown a real attachment to the place. You can’t beat the location, view, or charm. Everything the 6 of us needed was right there. This was the cleanest I had ever seen the house. Definitely worth our trip from Wisconsin. We’ll be back, again.

great location

We had a great stay. The views from the upper deck are wonderful. So peaceful and relaxing. There are many activities nearby for everyone. We golfed, kayaked (provided!), fished, and of course, went to the beach. Also it's a great place to do absolutely nothing. :) If you have little ones I would recommend Skaket Beach at high tide. I loved the quietness of the very private neighborhood. We had to contact Katy once when the propane for the gas grill ran out and she had two tanks for us the next morning. Thanks Katy. Can't wait for our next Cape vacation.

lovely family feel

this place is very comfortable from the first night to the last night. The only problem we had is it is not very well cleaned and does need some minor maintenance. Other than that, no one wanted to leave. walk to the beach less than half a mile and plenty of room for private time. nice cool breeze all the time. it actually got a little chilly so bring jackets just in case. We will try to get back here. Some of the other places look nicer but we personally like the old homey feel of post and beam construction. .

About the host

Hosted by Katy Holmes

Our New England family has owned this house since it was converted from a duck-hunting cottage in 1961 to a year-round, ocean-front home. The home has had many updates over the years and is now jointly owned by the family's third generation.

Why they chose this property

This home was lovingly passed down through generations and has been enjoyed by family, friends, and now conscientious renters since 1999. My grandparents, the home's original owners, retired to the cottage from Manhattan due to its spectacular views of the ocean and proximity to Chatham, Brewster, Provincetown, and other areas of the old Cape. The Cape Cod Baseball League games are also hosted in Orleans Center, bringing free professional-level baseball to the Lower Cape all summer long.

What makes this property unique

As children we loved to play 'house' in the small bedroom and bath in the upper loft, accessed by a custom-made iron spiral stairway. Paper airplanes also festooned the living room below from eager young 'pilots' stationed in the loft. A large side yard is perfect for croquet, badminton, volleyball, or spirited games of wiffleball, watched admiringly from adults relaxing on the nearby deck. A winding path off the driveway leads down to the inlet, where all manner of animals can be observed in their natural habitat. The Wheel House is named for the enormous ship's wheel mounted high over the vaulted-ceiling living room, making the house feel like a ship, particularly in storms. Walks to the beach for smooth heart-shaped rocks, shells and sea glass have been our family passion for decades.
