Just steps from Nauset Beach, this private garden-level apartment offers a cozy, walkable home base for a relaxed Cape Cod stay. Skip the beach parking and fees. Walk down for a swim, come back for lunch or a rest, then head out again when you’re ready. Early mornings at Nauset are especially peaceful and a favoritefor many guests.

Built by hand by our father and grandfather, this home has been in our family for generations. We grew up spending summers here and now return with our own children. We hope you feel the same Cape Cod magic that has meant so much to us.

The apartment is well-maintained and designed for simple, everyday comfort. It’s ideal for guests who value location, practicality, and classic New England charm. The kitchen features original wooden cabinetry and a traditional layout focused on function. The living area includes an Apple TV for streaming with your own accounts.

As a lower-level space, dehumidifiers help maintain a comfortable indoor environment. An outdoor rinse area with a showerhead is available for washing off sand, though it is not fully private.
Standard bath linens are provided, along with beach towels, beach chairs, and games.

You’re also well located to explore Orleans and the surrounding Cape. Restaurants, ice cream shops, grocery stores, kayak and bike rentals, and the Cape Cod Rail Trail are within a 10 to 15 minute drive. Skaket Beach, Crystal Lake, Wellfleet, and Hyannis are all easy to reach. The apartment has its own private entrance and is part of a property that also includes a separate upper-level home.

    Hidden Gem minutes walk from the beach which saves $$$ on parking fees. A little dated but for location and price is reasonable. Outdoor warm shower very welcome after swimming in sea. Only slight issue is the damp and lack of ventilation. Even clean unworn clothes ended up smelling of damp, towels did not dry after showers, and house had that “holiday beach home not used over winter damp” smell (even though we went in July it was not ventilated.

    We really enjoy the old-school cottage charm. We especially enjoyed the patio and the wooded area is just beautiful. Proximity the beach can’t be beat.

    Pros: proximity to the beach, outdoor patio, privacy snd quiet neighborhood. Cons: outdate decor, but we knew this going into it, and the inescapable smell of a dank basement. I think a couple dehumidifiers would help and new air conditioners as they too smelled of mold.

    Unit is the beasement of a pretty typical Cape Cod Cottage. Was spacious for a 2 bedroom. House was clean but did smell musty...just like most properties of that age on the Cape. Location was a pretty short walk to one of the better beaches on the Cape. Only downside was our road was very hard to see pulling onto Beach Road and we were occasionally caught in beach traffic just getting back to our rental. Short drives to Orleans, Chatham, Eastham made ot a pretty convenient location for our family.

    Unit B was very clean, nicely decorated, and the kitchen was spacious and very well equipped. A small back patio area was private and very quiet. Nice restaurants and a small market less than 5 minutes away. Best of all, it was just a couple hundred yards from Nauset Beach!

    This is a well equipped and furnished apartment on the ground level of a two-story house. Everything for a nice beach-stay was provided. The only complaint we had was that the bed was too firm for us. Also, not so bad, was the thudding around upstairs when those tenants arose a 6 am.

    The property is built into the side of a hill rendering the unit we occupied a semi basement. The unit had a very musty odor. My spouse noted the carpeting in the bedroom to be wet. This was closest to the wall against the hill.
