2 Br Condo Vacation Rental In Orleans, Massachusetts

Well-equipped waterfront haven sleeps up to 6 on two levels next to freshwater Crystal Lake. With its enticing southern views over sparkling swimmable water, outdoor amenities include an enclosed shower, patio, propane BBQ, large sloping lawn, small sandy beach, new deck next to a vintage boathouse, three kayaks, a canoe, and a floating swim dock.

This home has a full-featured eat-in kitchen, living room, half-bathroom, and full-sized laundry machines on the ground floor, with two queen bedrooms and a full bathroom upstairs. The 55” QLED 4K smart TV with 3-channel soundbar on a full-motion mount lets you watch from the kitchen, living room, or patio. The queen-sized sleeper sofa is brand new, as are all furnishings, wall art, and the bottom-up/top-down honeycomb shades on all windows. There’s 300Mbps Xfinity wifi, plus Roku-equipped TVs in both bedrooms. Mini-split heating/AC lets you customize each room’s climate. And the tankless water heater provides infinite hot water.

Located in a quiet part of Orleans at the north end of Crystal Lake, close to downtown, you’re 2 minutes from public tennis courts at Eldredge Park, 3 minutes to the 25-mile rail trail bike path, and 6 minutes to Nauset Beach on the ocean or Skaket Beach on Cape Cod Bay.

There’s a Super Stop & Shop 5 minutes north and a Shaw’s supermarket 4 minutes west, along with numerous restaurants and coffeehouses, boating, watersports, and bike-rental stores, gyms, and pharmacies within a 3-minute drive. Snow Library, the Orleans Firebirds’ baseball diamond, and the Academy Playhouse are all a 2-minute drive away.

The kitchen features a gas oven/range, microwave oven, dishwasher, freezer-on-the-bottom fridge, French press and flex-brew coffeemakers (with coffee pods, creamer, and sugar), Ninja blender, toaster, filtered-water pitchers (2), complete BBQ set, box full of bug sprays, sunscreens, and aloe, full set of pots and pans (including a lobster pot), flatware, Corell dinnerware, and glassware (mugs, juice glasses, iced-tea glasses, stemless wine glasses, tumblers, and picnic cups) for 6. There are folding trays when it's time to move to the living room or paved, umbrella-shaded patio.

On arrival, park in one of the two spaces marked ''Unit 1'' and walk down a short path (lined with motion-sensitive LED lights) past a neighbor’s garage and down 7 steps toward the lake. The home isn’t visible from the road. Unit 1 (your destination) is part of a 4-unit condo association and shares a common wall with Unit 2 (on the far side). All occupants share the lawn, deck, watercraft, and swim dock.

This property has a 1-night minimum stay and a 30-night maximum stay. State and local short-term occupancy taxes totaling 14.45% apply to all reservations. A fully refundable $200 damage deposit applies to all bookings, and there's a $225 cleaning fee.

Linens, Towels, etc
===============
Linens are supplied for all three beds, along with bath, hand, makeup, and beach towels. Pillow protectors will be freshly laundered; mattress protectors, bedspreads, blankets, and quilts will not.

June-early September Bookings are Saturday-to-Saturday
======================================================
Peak-season demand and Saturday changeover days (traditional on the Cape) compel me to permit only Saturday-to-Saturday bookings from June through early September.

Located in Orleans, this condo is in the city center and on the beach. While the natural beauty of Cape Cod Beaches and Nauset Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Ocean Edge Golf Club.
Orleans Bowling Center and Cape Escape Adventure Golf are also worth visiting. Jet skiing and kayaking offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and mountain biking nearby.
