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.

Cape Cod charm at its best

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.

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.

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.

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!
