Walk to Skaket Beach: Charming Cottage w/ Deck

Peaceful New England beach days await at 'Captain's Walk,' a charming vacation rental cottage in Orleans, just over a half mile from the sparkling Cape Cod Bay waters! With 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and 2,156 square feet of living space, this lovely house is the perfect place for a small group. The home sits on nearly 1 acre of private land sprinkled with beautiful trees and flowers. After experiencing an authentic lobster dinner at nearby lobster pounds, unwind and sip wine on the covered deck!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Massachusetts Tax ID: C0018542240

Bedroom Suite: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: 2 Twin Beds | Living Room: Couches

You'll find this tranquil beach cottage set among classic Cape Cod shingled homes on a private, winding drive and 0.86-acre lot. With a full remodel in 2013, the property is completely renovated with brand new appliances and furnishings. Additionally, the property offers 2 Specialized bicycles allowing for easy access to the best of Cape Cod!

Lounge in the bright and airy, open-concept living area boasting ample windows with traditional Cape Cod plantation shutters and wide-pine plank flooring. Kick back and relax in front of the large, mounted Sony flat-screen cable TV or get cozy by the propane fireplace!

In the spacious and open fully equipped kitchen, you'll enjoy lots of morning sunlight from the picture windows. This updated space includes a subway tile backsplash, granite countertops, an extended center island, high-end stainless steel appliances, recessed kitchen lighting, and plenty of dishware and cookware. Share your home-cooked masterpieces at the circular 6-person dining table!

You'll love spending time on the back patio, complete with a charming pergola and retractable awning to create pleasant shade during warm afternoons. Fire up the gas grill to throw a home-style cookout and sip cocktails around the outdoor dining table! The large, flat and private backyard is the perfect space for downtime outside, away from the beach.

The secluded property surrounding the home includes mature trees that provide private coverage, many beautiful large hydrangeas, professional landscaping, and blue-stone walkways - all adding to your rejuvenating Cape Cod experience!

-- THE LOCATION --

Soak up all the natural beauty and memories the Cape Cod area offers while staying in this Orleans abode. The vacation rental is situated in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to Skaket Beach, about 0.6 - 0.8 miles (depending on the route) or a 10-minute walk away. Walk to the shore or ride the 2 provided bicycles for a day of lounging in warm sand and exploring the beach's magical tide pools! Stay until evening to watch the sunset beyond the western horizon before heading back to the house to whip up a homemade dinner.

Just about 2 miles from the property, you'll find the quaint town of Orleans where you can roam the Orleans Marketplace or Orleans Farmers' Market on Saturday mornings. Get your fix of New England fare at Lobster Claw Restaurant or treat your partner to a romantic dinner at the elegant Captain Linnell House.

Keep driving 3 miles east of town to check out Nauset Beach, a 10-mile stretch with excellent fishing and surfing. Pay a visit to the Captains Golf Course, a double championship par 72, 36-hole course in Brewster - 6 miles from the home. Hop on the Cape Cod Rail Trail to bicycle your way across this popular peninsula or take a day trip to Provincetown, a historical seaside getaway 45 minutes away!

Great weekend!

We stayed just for a long weekend for a soccer tournament. Check in process was a breeze. The house is spotless and has everything we needed. Appliances are new including the washer / dryer. The master bedroom suite was lovely and makes the house feel so much bigger to accommodate families. Close to restaurants and access to 6/6A for getting around the cape. The beach is walkable but can’t imagine doing the walk with chairs and a cooler. The drive is short but you end up a tiny bit farther down the beach. Overall a great spot to spend a vacation!

Great House! So Convenient

My sister and I stayed here fir three nights in May, the house is very nice! Spacious, super clean, convenient to the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Easy checkin - quick affirmative response for early Checkin (maybe easier in May than high season). Really great kitchen, we cook for ourselves and really appreciated the Keurig and pods, spices and maple syrup! Very nice washer and dryer in the basement, toiletries in the bathroom made this one of our favorite VRBO houses!

Very Special House

We enjoyed a splendid fall getaway on the Cape and loved this house. The owners of Captain's Walk made every effort to ensure our comfort. The size of the house was just right; the layout was convenient; the kitchen was a delight to cook in, and the backyard deck with its pergola was a perfect place to relax. The neighborhood was especially lovely. I highly recommend the sunsets at nearby Skaket Beach!

Second time around

We have been vacationing on the Cape for 40 years. This is one of the 3 best homes we’ve rented. Short walk to a bay beach, a short drive to ocean beaches. The house has all the amenities you could want or need for a vacation house. Orleans is a beautiful cape cod community that hasn’t really changed much in the last forty years, the worst part of the visit was having to leave. My thanks to the owners for allowing us to use this great home. For an avid watercolorist there nothing greater than a Skaket beach sunset.

Perfect Cape Cod Get Away

We loved our stay at Captain's Walk. The location is great. It was a 5 minute bike ride to Skaket Beach (on the bay), close to the town of Orleans, close to the Cape Cod Rail Trail and a short drive to the ocean (Nauset Beach). The house is in great condition and the set up is ideal. Big open area downstairs (kitchen, living room, dining room, etc.) and a good size deck with a pergola. We ate outside on the deck a lot. Lastly, the house had everything we needed in the kitchen, as well as for outdoor activities (games, beach chairs, bikes)!

Quiet and Lovely

This house is set up so well! Great sunny, pretty spaces. Fantastic kitchen and deck. We appreciated the two bikes in the shed even though we brought some bikes too. The rail trail was really fun and good way to keep our distance from others. The beach was more of a walk than we thought and crowded but pleasant if you went at low tide when there was more room to spread out. Overall, a spot that suited us perfectly.

Charming and Comfortable Cape Cod Perfection!

This property lives up to every wonderful previous review. The house is spotless; in pristine condition with very tasteful and comfortable furnishings. The location cannot be beat- walk/bike to Skaket beach. We loved watching the resident bunnies and were lucky enough to have a mama wild turkey and her young frequent the yard. The property could not be more charming! The owners have done a wonderful job providing you with everything you will need for a comfortable stay. They even provide bikes (and even a bike pump!), and beach gear. The kitchen is well-stocked, something I really appreciate as I love to cook while on vacation. The beds were so comfortable, I would like to have these in my own home. Very nice, clean and new pillows and blankets were plentiful in each room. My husband’s family grew up owning homes very near this home and we have always admired it, so it was a delight to walk inside to a most beautiful and comfortable setting.. We hope to return next year.

Simply Perfect Cape-Mode Getaway

This place is as beautiful as it is well appointed. Strikes the perfect balance of feeling uncluttered and clean abut also we’ll stocked and comfortable to live in and play in for a week. Lovely open living space with a great kitchen. Yard perfect for mini soccer games and bunny watching. We never tired of the short walk to Skaket (sometimes 2-3 times a day!). and saved money on bike rentals because of the lovely ones in the shed. Our children blew kisses to every room before we left. Management was lovely and easy to get in touch with, but every detail had been accounted for so you won’t need them! Almost don’t want to say how wonderful this place is so that it’s easier to book next year ;).
