Charming Restored Cottage near Nauset Beach, The Summer House

We had a wonderful, relaxing week here. Location is great -- very quiet yet close to everything, including a fantastic ice cream shop a five-minute walk away -- and the cottage is exceptionally pretty, both tasteful and simple. Couldn't ask for a more relaxing or pleasant base for a Cape Cod vacation.

We found the cottage sparkling clean and ready for us on arrival. It has a lovely interior with plenty of room to relax. All three bedrooms are warm and cozy. The place reflects its history via a well-done renovation. Other homes are not immediately next door so it was very quiet and secluded. The cottage is conveniently located 5-10 minutes from town and the same distance from Nauset Beach, Cape Cod's finest. We had a wonderful five day stay!

My husband and I stayed at the summer house with our 2 young kids for 2 weeks. The house has been beautifully renovated and was immaculate when we arrived. The large porch provides so much extra space and we ate all our meals out there. My kids especially loved to play on the porch and in the yard. Jim is friendly, easy to get in touch with and responsive to texts. We were a short drive to 2 great beaches, which we went to every day, as well as a walk to a great gourmet market and ice cream shop. Would definitely recommend the house! Thanks Jim!

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. Communication with Jim, the owner, couldn't have been easier. The cottage was a perfect match for our family, enough room for my husband and three teens to enjoy. The cottage is well equipped, was spotless when we arrived and fitted our needs perfectly. It's proximity to beaches was definitely a plus, it was a great home base to discover Cape Cod.

The cottage was adorable and had thoughtful finishing touches. The screened in porch was a great added feature and we spent a lot of time out there - drinking coffee in the morning, reading, working and dinners at night. Would be wonderful if it had a dish washer and washer and dryer- but we made due and for just a week was fine. The owner greeted us upon check in and stopped by twice during the week to pick up garbage and water plants, and then met us when we checked out. You can tell he takes pride in his property which is sweet. Though could give one the impression that you aren't alone on vacation. Overall great for a week's stay.

This charming cottage was perfect in every detail. The owners, Barbara and Tom, went out of their way to make us comfortable and welcomed. The location is ideal for exploring the area. The street is quiet but convenient to restaurants and shopping. The cottage was immaculate and so comfortable. Would definitely recommend this property and would love to spend time there again. Thanks Barbara & Tom for making my 65th birthday so special!

If your looking for a quaint, quite, peaceful, clean comfortable cottage that can accommodate a family of three to four very comfortably...this is the place. We especially loved the outside porch in the back that opens up directly into the kitchen. It has a picnic table for meals and an area with comfortable chairs and a table for lounging. We also loved the attention to detail the owners put into the construction of the property like the sliding barn door for the bathroom, the wood grain tile floors, and the graphic photos on the walls taken by the owner. The cottage is perfectly located near the town of Orleans and right down the street from Nauset Beach. In our case it gave us close access to the outer cape where we like to do most of our day tripping. The owner Jim takes great care to welcome you to the property and he loves to share his knowledge of the area to make sure that you will have a pleasant stay. He takes great pride in his property and he only rents to responsible tenants which means the property stays clean and very well maintained. Oh yes, one more thing...we love the outdoor shower!

We absolutely loved our time at this rental! We had 3 adults and 2 children and it never felt crowded. Every last detail was thought of by the owners! To include the outdoor shower which was great for rinsing off after the beach! Would definitely stay here again!

Our family loved our stay at the Summer House. It was not only what the ad promised but much more. The O'Brien's are warm and welcoming hosts. The property is meticulously kept and roomier than I thought. An easy drive from beaches and shopping. I would happily recommend it to friends.

I recently stayed at this cottage with my family, including my Mom. Just enough room to be together without stepping on each other. Mom loved sitting on the porch for her morning coffee. This cottage is extremely clean and the owners thought of everything that would be needed. Thank you. I plan to come back to Cape Cod next year and will definitely book this cottage.
