Walkable to Skaket

Very clean, comfortable, well cared for home, and its walkability to Skaket beach was an added bonus. The home is set back from the road and from nearby properties so it is quiet and has plenty of privacy as well. The deck is spacious -- perfect for an evening cocktail and dinner. The host, Laura, was very responsive and friendly.

We really enjoyed our week at the Cape at this property. Great location, easy parking, walk to beach. Nice layout with the deck outdoors, dining area was isolated from the rest of the house so you could play games and talk without disrupting the TV viewers in the living room. Window AC units cooled the house nicely too. Three bedrooms were quiet and worked out great for our 3 adult couples.

Great House

This was the perfect spot for our family trip. The outdoor space was perfect for big dinners and lawn games. The kitchen had everything we needed and a big dining room made playing games easy. It was close to town, but also just a short walk from Skaket Beach. Couldn't recommend it more - hope to be back someday soon!

Wonderful Stay!

Perfect location, short walk to beautiful Skaket beach. The classic Cape Cod house sits back from the road, so you feel very secluded with nature all around. Comfortable indoor and outdoor hang out spaces. Excellent kitchen and comfy beds. We were looking for a special place to, once again, enjoy all that the Cape has to offer and to gather with family, this property delivered on all levels. Thank you, Laura and family for creating such a welcoming space and being so responsive!

Orleans Vacation

This was our second time renting this property and feel lucky we were able to stay during the week of July 4th. We really enjoyed our time out on the deck and plenty of room for family meals when we could not be outside. With only a 10 minute walk to Skaket beach this house was perfect. Orleans is a great town and we enjoyed exploring more especially the artist cottages that were new this year. We look forward to future vacations at the Cranberry Cottage!

Wonderful Family Vacation

My Mother-in-law and some family member thoroughly enjoyed their stay! We were right down the road from them so the proximity was perfect. Lots of bike rides and short walks up to Skaket Beach. Fully stocked kitchen and a nice size yard for outdoor games. They all mentioned wanting to come back. Thank you for hosting them!

Quaint Cottage

The Cranberry Cottage was a really cute house to stay in for our family. It was charming and we appreciated the roominess of the kitchen/dining area/living area when compared to other houses on the cape that we have stayed at. It is close to Skaket Beach, which is great. The family was great to work with and answered questions promptly. The house came with two baby gates, a pack and play, and other really helpful accessories. As a young family, this was a space saver for us when packing. We loved our stay there and would happily rent again. Thank you!

Orleans Vacation

This was our first family trip to Cape Cod. Cranberry Cottage was the perfect place for our family. We had plenty of room and the deck added that extra outdoor space that we needed. The location is perfect. We had our privacy yet were only 1-2 miles from what we needed. Skaket Beach was a short 8-10 minute walk and was amazing. We loved our stay and look forward to next year!

Another wonderful week here!

We are so grateful for this home and for the week we just spent here. I wrote last year and am happy to say that all of the things we loved last year were the same for this stay-the large, quiet yard with butterflies and hummingbird visits and the home itself with everything we needed (including cozy mattresses-so many rental homes have awful beds!) and enough space for us to stretch out. The deck acts as a second livingroom and where we spent most of our time. The location is perfect, a few minutes walk to the bay and a 10 minute drive to the ocean. Thank you for another excellent vacation!

Cape Week 2022

My family and I had been lucky enough to stay at the Housman's cottage once before and enjoyed our second visit as much as the first. Our grandchildren (ages 5 and 3) so enjoyed playing in the beautiful yard and the cottage was clean, comfortable and very user friendly for our family of four adults and two children. Thank you to the Housmans for sharing your home and helping us to create more wonderful Cape Cod memories!

Great Orleans spot

Spent a week with my wife and daughter here. It was super conducive to our almost 2 year old’s schedule while allowing us to venture out each day. Dennis or seashore beaches all within 20 min in the mornings. 8 minute walk to Skaket Beach every day after her nap in the afternoons. Prime location. Nice large front and side yard. And had basically everything we needed to just get on with vacationing immediately on arrival. Will definitely consider for future stays.

A wonderful place for a family vacation.

This was a perfect place for a family vacation. The house has a lot of charm, and the location was wonderful. We loved being able to walk to Skaket Beach. It was also easy to access the ocean shore and other points on the Cape. The very attractive modern kitchen was a pleasant surprise, with brand new high-end appliances and plenty of matching dishes and cutlery. The washer and dryer were a bonus. The hosts were friendly, gracious and quickly responsive to any questions and concerns.

Wonderful stay in Orleans!

My husband, 2-year-old daughter, and I had a lovely visit at the Cranberry Cottage, and we would happily recommend it to others! The house was clean and spacious; the kitchen was well-stocked; the beds were comfortable; the shower had plenty of hot water and excellent water pressure (much appreciated!); and Skaket Beach was just an easy 10-minute walk away. Laura was an excellent host as well - quick to reply to any questions. A wonderful property all in all!

Wonderful stay, already booked next summer!

We’ve stayed in many rentals over the years but the Cranberry Cottage is now our favorite. I am writing this from the deck on our last day here and just reserved the same week next summer. The house is the perfect combination of all the things we look for in a vacation home. The photos can’t capture how spacious this place is and feels. Or the incredible deck which served as an extra livingroom all week. The house backs up to a marsh which makes you instantly feel like you are at the beach and the yard is filled with butterflies and birds (my son loved the hummingbird that visited the butterfly bush every morning). We loved sunsets at Skaket Beach down the street, the big dining room table, the kitchen with everything we needed on hand, and the comfy bedrooms (one king bed bedroom, two full size bed bedrooms, and an extra twin bed in a beautiful open space underneath a skylight on the second floor). The mattresses and comforters were so comfortable and we had great sleep all week. I am so glad we found Cranberry Cottage!
