This house exceeded our expectations. The house was beautiful, very clean and well stocked. The layout both inside and out on the back deck was very comfortable. There were kayaks, surf boards, boogie boards available for us to use, and the location was central to our vacation. But the view from the back deck every day really made it for us.

This is a lovely house, tastefully decorated and with a wonderful view of Meetinghouse Pond and harbor from the deck. One pot the nicest houses we have rented in decades of Cape Cod rentals.

Fantastic view and location, close to everything and delightful to walk or bike through neighborhoods to Nauset Beach, CCRT, Orleans retail and quick dip in Crystal Pond. House was extremely clean, comfortable and bright! Space works well for 2 couples and/or family with kids.

The location is terrific. It is less than 5 minutes to drive to Nauset Beach and a 12 minute drive to Skaket Beach. The owners are responsive. The view off of the back porch is great over the lake. We never heard or saw the neighbors. The outdoor shower was terrific. Unfortunately, there are some things you need to know before you book: There is no permissible access to the dock and no river access without having to walk through tall grass. We thought the deck would be usable. As a result, we did not go into the river. Every rental we have used for 10 years has provided a beach parking pass. Not this property. It's not a lot of money, but I would have assumed that it would be included. Maybe Orleans does not allow it. When we arrived at the house, there was no laundry detergent, no paper towels, no hand towels, and, even though we knew we had to bring our own towels and sheets and blankets and pillows, we did not expect to have to bring all of these things. Other houses that cost less money had them included. We saw the cleaning crew go into the house. I'm not sure what my cleaning charge paid for. There was still coffee stains on the floor and the room upstairs did not smell clean at all. There were spiders and bugs, including ants. The couch smelled. Again, I know it's the Cape, but for this money... I have spent less and received more. We were not allowed in until 4, but we had to be out by 9:30 am. That's a long time to clean. None of the rooms had overhead lights, except the kitchen. We knew there was no central air, so that's not an issue, but some of the Window ACs were low or out of freon and didn't cool the room. Master bed shakes and squeaks. The front door was broken and unusable. I know the purpose is not to watch TV, but they only have the most basic of cable with only network channels - no NESN (no Red Sox) and the only way to access non-network tv (Netflix) was through an HDMI cord. Again, based on comparable houses, I would not have expected these issues. I wish I had known. We had a great trip and great weather. We just wished the house had more to offer. Sorry
