Close to everything!!: Walking distance to casual and fine dining, coffee houses (the Hot Chocolate Sparrow is a 5 minute walk), galleries, shops, the Cape Cod Bike Trail (.2 miles), and Rock Harbor (.7 miles). Short drive to Skaket Beach (1 mile to the bayside beach) and Nauset Beach (3 miles to the National Seashore - on the ocean side). The Nauset Beach, part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, was voted one of the most beautiful beaches in America.

Many things to do!!: The National Seashore Center in Eastham offers many programs for families, as well as the Audubon Center in Wellfleet. Several Summer Playhouses offer theater which changes on a weekly basis, such as the Academy Playhouse in Orleans, the Dennis Playhouse, the Wellfleet Harbor Actor's Theatre (WHAT). 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. And, finally, the Cape is a bird watcher's paradise!

Please be aware that weather/storm refunds are not offered. Please arrange for vacation insurance for storm protection, if desired.

During the high summer months of July and August, please make your reservations for one or two weeks at a time, Saturday to Saturday. During June or September, longer or shorter periods of time are welcome.

    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!

    Our family had such an amazing vacation staying at this beautiful home for the week! The house is perfectly situated near beaches with spectacular sunsets, family fun activities including whale watching, restaurants and shopping in town. It is very peaceful and has a stunning garden on the property. Nicki is absolutely lovely and is super accommodating. We had everything we needed for the week, plus more. All the fans provided kept the house very cool during the day, even during late summer. We are looking forward to making more memories in the future on the Cape at this home! Thanks again Nicki and Warren!

    The cape house was a great place to stay. Location was very convenient to downtown Orleans and the beaches plus rail trail. Kitchen was fully stocked and beds were comfortable. Would stay here again when visiting the Cape.

    Our stay was amazing! House was perfect. Private location but close enough to walk to town! Grounds were peaceful and quiet. Kitchen was fully equipped for us to cook most our meals. Central to nauset and Marconi beach and of course the sundae school!! Week was perfect!

    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.

    The house and gardens are lovingly and beautifully maintained and so comfortable. There is great lighting for reading and lots of great books. And, while it was so quiet and peaceful, we loved the proximity to town, the harbor and beach and the bike trail.

    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.

    The house was beautiful and was exactly as advertised. It was a hot week, but the fans provided by the owner made all the difference. We enjoyed the privacy offered by the house, being tucked back away from the road and with the woods in the backyard. The recent renovations were exceptional.

    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.
