Short drive to Skaket Beach (1 mile to the bayside beach) and Nauset Beach (3 miles to the National Seashore - on the ocean side). The Nauset Beach, part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, was voted one of the most beautiful beaches in America.
Many things to do!!: The National Seashore Center in Eastham offers many programs for families, as well as the Audubon Center in Wellfleet. Several Summer Playhouses offer theater which changes on a weekly basis, such as the Academy Playhouse in Orleans, the Dennis Playhouse, the Wellfleet Harbor Actor's Theatre (WHAT). There is a Farmer's Market on Saturday morning in Orleans (a short walk from the house and next to the Hot Chocolate Sparrow), and frequent Art Shows. There are weekly summer band concerts at Nauset Beach, and surrounding towns, and for the kids (big and small) there is mini- golf located nearby. For sports fans, the Orleans Fire Birds, a Summer Cape League Baseball Team, plays regular games about one mile away. Rock Harbor offers deep sea fishing adventures and there is surf fishing at Nauset Beach. Whale watching is a popular activity leaving for Stellwagen Banks from Provincetown. And, finally, the Cape is a bird watcher's paradise!

Such a gem in Rock Harbor. This has been our favorite place to stay in Cape Cod. It’s well decorated, an excellent location, and the best hosts. Thanks so much!!
Our party of three adults had a lovely time. The house can be a bit warm in the late summer but the fans make it much better. The house was clean and had everything we needed! Great location for walking to town.
This property is quintessential Cape Cod! It is so tastefully designed and decorated. It sits back in its own garden oasis - removed from the road and beautifully landscaped. The house is perfect for a family visiting the Cape. It’s ideally located close to town and close to Skaket Beach / Rock Harbor. The owners are wonderful and very friendly.
We loved our stay at Rock Harbor Retreat. The open floor plan invites conversation and togetherness while having defined spaces for living, dining and cooking. There is a screened-in porch and lovely deck for dining or just hanging out. This house has cozy and lovely decor, is clean, has comfortable beds and couch, a fully-equipped kitchen, two large tiled showers (and an outdoor shower), beautiful flower gardens, privacy and easy access to bay and odean beaches, shopping and nature activities. What more could you ask for! We strongly recommend this house for a special Cape Cod stay!
Nikki was a gracious host who welcomed us to her home tucked within a beautiful garden. It provided ample space for relaxation and family gatherings. The kitchen had everything we needed to make dinners in the evening, the table was perfect for family games, the cross breezes through the windows created a comfortable atmosphere, and we even laid on the upper deck and watched the Perseids one evening.
The house was beautiful and was exactly as advertised.
It was a hot week, but the fans provided by the owner made all the difference. We enjoyed the privacy offered by the house, being tucked back away from the road and with the woods in the backyard. The recent renovations were exceptional.
We'd recommend this rental for the following reasons. 1. The location was great - you can walk to town and easily access the bike path. 2. The house is very private and quiet, and almost feels like a tree house in the forest. 3. The inside of the house is very comfortable - plenty of space for our family of five. 4. The owner was very pleasant and quick to respond to any questions we had.
The cape house was a great place to stay. Location was very convenient to downtown Orleans and the beaches plus rail trail. Kitchen was fully stocked and beds were comfortable. Would stay here again when visiting the Cape.
The house and gardens are lovingly and beautifully maintained and so comfortable. There is great lighting for reading and lots of great books. And, while it was so quiet and peaceful, we loved the proximity to town, the harbor and beach and the bike trail.
Our stay was amazing! House was perfect. Private location but close enough to walk to town! Grounds were peaceful and quiet. Kitchen was fully equipped for us to cook most our meals. Central to nauset and Marconi beach and of course the sundae school!! Week was perfect!
The house was clean, comfortable with a beautiful interior, and well equipped. Additionally, it was private yet convenient to everything. Overall, it exceeded our expectations.

spacious and sweet!
This house rental was really great! The house is so spacious! Super close to the main drag of Orleans - just perfect!
This is our third return trip to this beautiful home. My boys love going to Skaket Beach everyday that the weather permits. The house is convenient to Skaket, to Rock Harbor, and to town. The owner could not possibly be any more lovely or accommodating. We are so glad to have found this wonderful home away from home.
We stayed a wonderful 10 days here. The house is charming and comfortable, the gardens are as beautiful as the picture. Location is excellent--near Orleans center, convenient to Nauset Beach and the Bay, close to bike path. We highly recommend.
Nicki is very communicative. EV charging within walking distance (across from Sparrow cafe). Bike trail and bike rentals nearby as well. Bike trail (kid friendly) is amazing.
Second time back to this property. We love the cleanliness and location. Close to the Chocolate Sparrow and bike trail. We were there during the heat wave and wished the house had AC, but they provided lots of fans that we used. I highly recommend this property!
Beautiful garden retreat walking distance to town!
The house is gorgeous! From the comfortable beds to tasteful decor, it is a 5 star experience. Nicki was a pleasure to work with! Did I mention we had baby bunnies, birds galore to entertain us? The garden is beautiful! We had a great week!
The location is great, the property and garden are wonderful and the house has everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. There are thoughtful touches throughout. As a chef I had exactly the precise tools to cook a nice meal.
This was our second stay at this lovely home. Beautiful and well-maintained gardens, and the interior had the perfect set up for our family and au pair. With the parents’ and kids’ bedrooms upstairs, and the third bedroom downstairs, it was the perfect amount of privacy for all. Also loved the screened-in porch and second floor deck! The house is in a great location, close to Rock Harbor, Skaket Beach, and downtown Orleans.
