Nice home.
Clean, spacious home Needs dresser in master bedroom or, at minimum, something to put suitcases on. It’s hard to enjoy dealing with our suitcases on the floor. We only used the downstairs but my wife said the upper floor was very nice. Very nice fixtures in all bathrooms. Shower in master bedroom could use a grab bar for safety. Just some suggestions but overall nice place.

Very satisfied.
Structure is older and outside is not super well maintained. Indoors really very pretty, large and airy. A lot of room and Cape Cod charm. The location is unbeatable.

Fantastic location!
Right behind Nauset Farms, across from Smitty's ice cream, a short bike ride to Nauset beach. The setup was great for our teen boys who took the bunkroom upstairs while their parents had downstairs. Two areas of improvement: 1) Lighting on lower level - it's dark 2) The outside gathering area is in desperate need of flowers! Very little to look at while drinking morning coffee. The many PROS offset these 2 items. Clean! Big! and great location.

We had a great time at this spacious home! A short drive to coast gaurd, close to Orleans firebirds and ice cream every night! It was spectacular!

I had a wonderful experience
Me and my friends were looking for a place to go for vacation and although we were hesitant at first about this home, we were glad we made the right choice. The house was specious and clean. There were enough space for all eight of us. The only downside was having to be out by 9am. I wish we could leave around the same time we were able to check in (4pm). The house did have a handful of rules we had to follow, but I can understand why. The area was pretty. The neighbors left us alone. We did have to buy everything because the house only had the essentials, but splitting between the eight of us it was fine. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Great location!
This is a clean, spacious home in close proximity to beach, restaurants and the Nauset Market. It had a whole other apartment basically on the second floor with another kitchen, dining area and living space. Bedrooms are large (two of the three). Convenient laundry on first floor. AC cranks. Large front yard and nice big driveway. A few tips for improvement-there is no drawers in main bedroom for clothing. No counter space in that bathroom either. There is very little counter space in kitchen and ZERO cabinet space for our food. We had to keep all food in boxes on the floor. The upstairs large bedroom has minimal lighting( one lamp and bulb was out). The outdoor space is quite drab, old furniture on an old shuffleboard court in the hot sun. One wicker chair almost broke when my daughter bf sat in it. A huge plus was the Delmar staff. They were immediate in their responses ( there was no large bowl for salad so it was delivered by the end of the day. There was no outdoor lighting and an amazing handyman showed up and opened up the capped lights and installed a bright light over the grills. He also added a solar lamp which shines on the patio table. They were very helpful with our crazy day moving from one rental to the next, providing late checkout and early check-in. When they realized they couldn’t accommodate earlier than 3:00 they offered us lunch reimbursement $50pp! Delmar for the win!

Very satisfied with this house.
This home was clean, decorated nicely, had everything we needed. The two floors allowed my family of six adults plenty of room. Great location nice market next store and good restaurants in walking distance. Close to beach , But sharks warring everywhere. I would give this rental a 5 star rating.

Nice place but not exactly a beach house
This house has a beautiful interior, but is not quite what I would consider a beach house. Although it has an upstairs and downstairs kitchen, utensils are somewhat minimal (we had to purchase a corkscrew, both coffee makers were small—about enough for 2 people). The downstairs king sized bed was quite comfortable, the upstairs beds not so much. There is now an outside spigot to rinse your feet, but no outside shower. Outdoor dining was limited to the front porch, with a view of the driveway, the upstairs deck only having room for 2 chairs. We did not try the backyard grill. There is a nice short walk to the “pond” at the end of the street, but it is not a place to swim. The Nauset Beach is only a short drive (about 2 miles) very convenient, and an easy walk from the parking lot, which may fill up sometimes, but not while we were there. Convenient farm store next door, but check the hours, closed on certain days. (They sell a lot of wine but not corkscrews!). Lovely cafe across the street, and nice restaurant just down the road (make reservations!). Good for multigenerational family, with the young folks upstairs.

Family vacation
We had a great time in Orleans - this is our second time to visit. The house is really well located, close to everything, yet sits on a quiet street. The house was spacious and very clean. I would say that the kitchen could be a bit better stocked with utensils, a corkscrew, scissors and serving plates, etc. as those lacked. We cooked family meals for 8 people so it was not ideal. Everything else was really wonderful!

Orleans Week
This home had enough space for our family of 6 adults and 2 dogs. There are 2 living spaces which worked for us and it was very clean. The location was perfect. Walking distance to coffee and breakfast places and just a few minutes from Nauset Beach. The reason for just a 3 star overall review is that the home needs a little TLC to make it more comfortable. More lighting (first floor is dark), hooks in the bathrooms, more hangers, better pillows (bring your own) etc. It wouldn't take much. It is obvious that the home is just used as a rental. The furnishings are somewhat tired, inside and out. All in all, it was a good week but I probably wouldn't stay in this particular home again.

Great house
The location for the house was great! Loved the area and you can walk to the cafe, market and ice cream store! Beautiful street and nice walks in the morning. I didn’t find any negatives with the house, the stairs are a bit difficult, but typical for a 2 story house. That’s the only apprehension I had about the home of someone has small kids or animals. Loved our experience, everything was super clean and we really enjoyed our time there!

Sleep with all your clothes on your face!
When the reviews said no curtains or drawers they meant it! I too thought …surely the bedrooms have curtains! There must be some type of drawers to be able to unpack and put your things away!!?! Especially being there a week!!?! Nope! Sheer curtains. We really wanted sleep. We NEEDED sleep. So many windows. What’s this sheer stuff. Not even in the bathrooms. Gram was nervous to shower! We didn’t do it because there wasn’t anything to hang. You can tell other guest have hung things from the tiny curtain rods as they have a bend in them. Probably their clothes!! If you want to wake up with the sun every single day and keep your clothes in your suitcase…then stay here! Because ..the house is cool. Both setups …big space. Clean! Amazing location. Perfect property group.. Del Mar. (they have a big fancy building)

Hi Marla, Thank you for your awesome feedback! "the house is cool. Both setups …big space. Clean! Amazing location. Perfect property group.. Del Mar." I understand some of the weaknesses of this property and appreciate your humor in conveying them. We have on our list to work with the homeowner on installing more appropriate blinds and clothing storage. You were a great guest - and I hope we can meet your expectations again in the future.

Great place
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was very clean, spacious, and well laid- out. The host was very responsive when we had questions. My only concern was the stairs and step down into the living room were very slippery- I might suggest treads for safety!

Odd house set up but great experience
It was very odd staying in a place that had two floors with basically their own set up - each had its own kitchen and living room. However, we had a great stay and thoroughly enjoyed your experience. We booked this house as part of our honeymoon and its proximity to the beach and other activities, such as the Rail Trail, made it an ideal location. While there, we had another couple join us for one night and it was nice that they could have the upstairs floor to themselves while we were downstairs. It made it possible for us to have our privacy while also enjoying the time together, The bed in the master bedroom wasn't the most comfortable, but pretty standard from our experience staying in other rentals.

Very nice large house
The house is very nicely decorated. The house is almost like two large apartments with a master bed/bath, living room, dining area and kitchen on the first floor and a second kitchen, dining area, living room and two more bedrooms upstairs. It was perfect for a weekend with our adult children.

Great location, just shy of 5 stars
We really enjoyed our stay at this house. The layout and location were fantastic. It felt like the house had just been refreshed (new paint, tags were still on many of the accessories and the window coverings seemed new). Just a few things were missing that would have turned it into a 5 star beach house: Outdoor water: There was no access to any water outside to rinse the sand from our feet. We ended up purchasing a basin to keep outside, but until then we were sweeping up lots of sand. Better window coverings: There were only sheer curtains on the bedroom windows so there was very little privacy at night. Somewhere to keep your things: There weren't any drawers or hooks on the doors for managing clothing. These details aside, everything was great.
