Close to everything!!: Walking distance to casual and fine restaurants, coffee houses (the Hot Chocolate Sparrow is a 5 minute walk), galleries, shops, the Cape Cod Bike Trail (.2 miles), and Rock Harbor (.7 miles). 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!

Please be aware that weather/storm refunds are not offered. Please arrange for vacation insurance for storm protection, if desired.

A beautiful home base for our vacation

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.

2024 Vacation to Cape

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.

Perfect Cape retreat

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.

Spacious and beautiful home, close to town

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.

Impeccable and charming

Nikki and Warrens home is a vacation renters dream. A extremely well cared for home that is incredibly Charming and impeccable clean. gorgeous updated kitchen. Absolutely Gorgeous gardens and grounds. We loved the detailed woodwork trim, the bookcases and wainscoting throughout. The gleaming hardwood floors! The screened porch was ideal to sit with a morning Coffee. The beds were all comfortable (and I’m a bed snob!) the upstairs deck felt like being in a tree house! Super convenient area, close to town and various beaches. Absolutely zero issues. Nikki was terrific! We’ll be back!! Thanks Nikki!

Perfect family getaway

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.

Perfect home away from home

Nicki and Warren are very gracious hosts. Nicki called on the evening of our arrival to make sure we were settled in and that everything had gone well. The house is itself is just as described. It is tastefully designed and decorated. Child proofing was easy. The gardens and landscaping are stunning. The location is perfect with easy access to town, Skaket Beach, and Rock Harbor. The house is located on a main road, however it is set back from the road so it is very quiet and idyllic. I look forward to returning again next year.

Amazing stay at Rock Harbor Retreat!

We had a fantastic getaway at Rock Harbor Retreat! The house was immaculate, clean and beautifully decorated, and the gardens and grounds were well manicured! The kitchen had everything you'd need...microwave, dishes, silverware, toaster, coffeemaker etc. The house is very close to downtown, with plenty of great restaurants and shops and the beach is just a short distance. We're definitely planning another visit! Thank you so much for a wonderful getaway!

Wonderful stay in Orleans

The cottage is in a fantastic location close to downtown Orleans, the rail trail, Rock Harbor, Skaket Beach and many other things to do in the area. The cottage is a really beautiful and well kept up. It has everything you need in the kitchen and there was a fresh stock of paper goods to get us started. The deck and screened porch are added bonuses to the property. They also had a set of portable fans if you need them. There are beach chairs and the washer and dryer in the basement. All you need are some groceries and linens. It's a great vacation home and recommend it highly.

Return customer

We last stayed in this home five years ago, and wanted to return to it for our Cape vacation. Initially, we had planned for June, but our plans changed (due to COVID). The owner was very accomodating, and we were able to enjoy it later in the summer. We look forward to another summer vacation there.

I can't say enough good things about this property! The grounds are tremendous and the back patio was an excellent place to veg out and relax. Cooking was a breeze as the kitchen had so many tools and amenities which you do not find at many rentals. As for Nicki, working with her was a pleasure and she was very responsive to questions throughout the booking process. Will be looking to book again next year!
