Area Information

East Orleans, where our home is located, is a beautiful, quiet enclave on Pleasant Bay.

Orleans is a small, scenic beach town—about 22 square miles in size, with nearly half of it made up of water. In Orleans you get the best of all worlds when it comes to beaches — you can experience the crashing waves of Nauset Beach, the calm waters of Skaket Beach, and the freshwater ponds of Pilgrim Lake and Crystal Lake — all within just a few miles of the house!

Our home is in a peaceful area, surrounded on three sides by the saltwater of Pleasant Bay. Just two blocks south is our private cove landing, where you can store kayaks for easy access. Two blocks north is Meetinghouse Pond, which has a public boat launch and a dock—perfect for a swim or launching your boat. Walk three blocks east to another landing to watch the sunrise over Pochet Bay, or head four blocks west (to the end of Tides End Lane) to a park bench with a beautiful sunset view over the river.

Barley Neck Road ends at a quiet landing, so there’s very little traffic nearby — just local residents. A short, one-mile walk takes you to East Orleans Village, where you’ll find an ice cream shop, two great restaurants, a gourmet market, and a historic inn with a bar and live music on the lawn.
