Orleans Beachfront Oasis

Experience the enduring coastal beauty provided by one of the most sought-after summer destinations on Cape Cod. Offering miles of soft sandy shores along the Atlantic coastline, this quaint Massachusetts gem is celebrated for the Nauset surf and for Rock Harbor sunsets that paint the evening sky warm shades of violet and orange.

This 4000 square foot Orleans oasis is situated on an idyllic and extremely private peninsula with an uninterrupted view of Nauset Beach and the Cape Cod National Seashore barrier island. With direct waterfront access, you won’t have to miss a single second of seaside action. Equipped with an open mooring, boat renting is a must, whether you’re ready to speed across the water on a tube or in search of trophy-striped bass and bluefish.

Boasting a breezy, open-plan living area and seven generous bedrooms (five in the main house and two in the guest house), this is a perfect getaway for those traveling with children or extended families. Each room flows seamlessly into the next, offering plenty of comfortable seating throughout. At the same time, expansive wall-to-wall windows showcase the beaches and bluffs that inspired the Kennedys and Henry David Thoreau. Other highlights of this magnificent beachfront home include vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a wood-burning fireplace, and a private den. The kitchen is well-stocked with anything you may need during your stay, especially if you plan on firing up the grill for dinner al fresco. There is a deck off the second-floor master bedroom if you want to listen to the sounds of the waves crashing before drifting off to sleep.

If you can pull yourself away from the beach, the lawn is spacious and provides an ideal landscape for badminton, bocce ball, and frisbee—some friendly competition, if you will. Explore the trails and ponds of Nickerson State Park ten minutes away, and be sure to check out local landmarks like the Jonathon Young Windmill and Nauset Lighthouse.
