Wonderful Stay

This house is perfect in every way. It is perfectly located on the Cape for day trips, and we loved its location in such a beautiful private neighborhood. The flora and fauna were great, especially the turkeys and the blooming rhododendrons. Our host thought of everything we could possibly need.

Lovely Stay in Orleans - Great access to lower Cape

Tucked away in the woods, this tidy and well appointed home offers quick access to everything on the lower cape. The kitchen is well stocked if you choose to cook at home. The home was spotless and clearly well cared for. Communication with the owner was excellent.

Cape Cod Getaway

The Joy Cottage was a great place to relax and enjoy while visiting Cape Cod! The pictures are very accurate. The kitchen was well stocked, as was the bathroom and bedroom. We loved the quality linens and thick/ thirsty towels. The spiral stairs were easy to navigate to get downstairs to relax on the sectional couch and watch TV. Beautiful hydrangeas and lovely deck were the perfect place to enjoy our morning coffee! Convenient location to all our favorite restaurants, beaches, the bike trail and surrounding towns!

Great cottage and location!

My parents and I used to visit the Cape for many years and stayed in West Dennis. This time my wife and I decided to try something new and stay in Orleans. Found Joy Cottage and we loved it! It is in a great location right off of Route 6. Cottage is tucked back in the woods and made it seem very secluded which we loved. The cottage was very clean and had all the amenities we needed such as AC, fully stocked kitchen, dishwasher, laundry and an outdoor shower. We enjoyed our stay and would love to come back to Joy Cottage again!

Another Great Vacation on the Cape

Melissa's house is an excellent option for a small family looking for a rental in the vicinity of the Nickerson State Park. The house is super clean, cozy, any very small. It has everything one may need for a relaxing stay: AC on both levels, well-stocked kitchen with a dishwasher, outdoor shower, comfortable beds, TVs on both levels, a fire pit and fire wood, a large deck. Linens are included (which is not common on the Cape). The host replied to all questions we had promptly. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

What a gem!

We’ve been coming to Orleans for over 5 years. The house we used to stay in was sold, and we’ve been on the hunt for the “perfect” house ever since. This is it!!! I can’t say enough kind things about the house- it is in the perfect location, they’ve maximized ever space for comfortable living, it is so clean! They literally provide you with everything you could ever want/need for the perfect vacation. We’ll be back next year!
