About this property

Featured in Boston Globe- fully renovated cape w/ pool & modern barn pool house

3/4 of a mile from Rock Harbor (best sunsets, swim on the cape and “flats” for walking and exploring) you will find this fully renovated / modernized 3000+ sf rambling antique cape on an acre of landscaped yard (with two more acres of woods behind), with heated pool and a newly constructed custom modern 1,000+ sf barn / poolhouse with partial kitchen, dining and lounge furniture inside and out, bathroom, washer dryer, loft with swing hammock chairs and game table and stocked with beach towels. Attached is a garage equipped with beach chairs, 4 bikes, boogie boards, beach grill, etc. The landscaping is meticulous as are the furnishings, linens, mattresses, kitchen equipment, etc. The house has 4 bedrooms (king, queen, two twins, three twins) plus two additional built in standard twin beds in the upstairs hall. The master (king) and queen bedrooms are on the first floor. The bedrooms with all the twins (plus the hallway built in beds) are on the second floor. There are three full baths, two on the first floor (one ensuite to the master, one directly across from the queen room) and one on the second floor (which has a shower/bathtub and double trough sink), plus two outdoor showers (one concealed and off a side deck attached to the house and one by the pool). There are two large living spaces, one at either end of the house (each with a gas fireplace), a dining room, breakfast area, bar area, office, large deck with tons of dining and lounge seating, a second deck with grill off the kitchen, A/C, 2 washers / dryers, ice maker, wine fridge. Additionally, the house has a heated pool and pool house with dining table, lounge furniture, large patio 1/2 bath, kitchenette, loft with 3 hanging chairs and beanbags; an outdoor fire feature; a play set; and an acre of land with a well landscaped, large, flat backyard ideal for family games of whiffle ball or late night glow in the dark hide and seek. The house boasts only one TV, as we think there are better things to do on the cape! But it is high quality, and equipped with cable and Apple TV. This house has rarely been available on the rental market but is this summer. The property is available (and has been used) for product shoots. The property is NOT available for parties and events. High end bed linens, bath and beach/pool towels are included. Rented by owner. It's a very special spot ;)

The pictures do not do this place justice!. The landscaping alone, took my breath away! We never left! Cooked dinner every night, swam all day in the gigantic pool, lunch & snacks in the poolhouse, coffee in the swings and breakfast on the porch each morning. Sonos sound system throughtout, loft w swings & outdoor showers left us feeling content & relaxed. Jill & PJ have thought of everything and then some. Blessed to have found this home for our vacation. :) 3 adults/senior, 3 kids/preteens

Amazing stay!
Jill’s house was beautiful and perfect for our family. The pool and pool house are particularly amazing and you feel like you are at a private 5 star hotel. The house itself is extremely well designed, with many designer touches, and no small detail was overlooked. Jill provided many useful tips and was very responsive to any question I had. Beaches are very close by, as is the Cape Cod Rail Trail. A perfect stay!

A magical space
This was the most wonderful vacation for our family - our daughter has never been happier between the heated pool, little playground in the backyard, and beautiful bay beaches that were actually warm enough for swimming in June. The house was impeccable and the owners were lovely and highly responsive.

Luxury in Orleans
We had an amazing family vacation at 202 Rock Harbor Road last week. We have been going to the Cape for 10+ years and this year we decided to rent a house with a pool, now that the children are older. It was the best decision! We went to the beach all day and the kids played in the pool all evening. We are close to many bayside beaches for sunset and of course, near Main St. for access to the supermarket and provisions. From the beautiful white aesthetic of the home to the pool house - which was invaluable - down to the Serena and Lily towels, all the well thought out details made for a relaxing and inspired summer vacation filled with many memories for our kids in the expansive backyard. Thank you Jill!

Perfect Cape Getaway
Wonderful home in a great location. The home is impeccable and was perfect for our family. It's located centrally in Orleans and is close to beaches, activities, and town life. The pool, barn, large yard, and beautiful home made the stay perfect. Jill was a wonderful host and was accessible throughout and she left very good instructions and local suggestions as well.

About the host

Hosted by Jill

Host profile image
We purchased this antique cape, and have completely renovated and modernized the house with a designer's touch and no detail left untouched. With the addition of the new barn / pool house and pool, the house has become a resort unto itself and we enjoy long hours there with family and friends. We spend time on the cape and up and down the East coast with our family. We balance city time with beach and mountain excursions and look forward to sharing our home. We can't wait to give our renters all the inside scoop on the best places to go on the cape, as there are many when you know where to go!

Why they chose this property

Enjoy both bay beaches (great for kids) and Atlantic ocean beaches (great for surfing) in Orleans. Orleans is the perfect cape town, big enough to have amenities you need (grocery store, pharmacy), but peppered with the best mom and pops on the cape (the best yoga, the best facial, the best ice cream, best coffee shop, best burger joint, best gourmet wine and cheese store, best farm market, etc). We will certainly share our favorites!

What makes this property unique

Charm of an antique cape combined with stylish design and modern renovations. Never need to leave with the pool, pool house, and large backyard. Countless hydrangea make for the perfect setting. Walk to Rock Harbor, or take a short ride to Skaket or Nauset beaches. Bike path to main street and beyond is just down the street
