5 bedrooms ocean view estate overlooking cape cod bay

Welcome to Mallard View Estate. Perched at the edge of a pristine salt marsh, this 3000 square foot, ocean-view estate is 3/4 mile to town center, Skaket Beach, and bike path. Fabulous secluded location at the end of a quiet cul-de sac in an exclusive neighborhood, nestled amongst a 1 acre fruit orchard and graced by a large Victorian Gazebo for your afternoon teas or family functions. Kayak able river through the marsh leads from back yard to the beach.

A huge deck overlooks one of the best wild life Marshes on the Cape (a bird watcher's paradise) plus gorgeous sunsets in your own private back yard. Enjoy exquisite views from every room. Two Master bedrooms, two other large bedrooms, plus one sleep sofas. Downstairs is a full separate apartment with bedroom, kitchenette, & living room with sleep sofa, ideal if two families share the home. Dining room table seats 10-12. We provide a computer, printer, and DSL service. For your convenience, a grounds keeper lives quietly above the garage.

We are a short walk to lovely Skaket Beach and Rock Harbor, where the charter fishing boats depart. Special Feature - fabulous 4th of July fireworks occur almost in our back yard, providing you with one of the best views on the Cape. Enjoy it with your friends from our large back deck - a great place for a barbecue. Another unique feature - we face Northwest, so gorgeous sunsets over Cape Cod Bay are perfectly viewed from our deck each night.

Orleans is the center of cultural life for the mid cape. A charming village with wonderful restaurants, stores, ice cream, coffee shops, and antique stores. Also 1/4 mile away is the well known Cape Cod Trail for biking. Provincetown and Hyannis are both just a 30 minute drive for whale watching, fabulous shopping and restaurants. While generally considered a summer hot spot, the cape is delightful off season as well for a quiet getaway.
For guests with electric cars, charging is not allowed and a risk of fire due to not having the proper facilities may happen. There are several charging stations in Orleans, closets one is near the Chocolate Sparrow or at Stop & Shop supermarket.

Extended Family Getaway

My extended family got together for a long weekend. It’s the third time we’ve rented the home and as always, it checked all the boxes. Plenty of sleeping accommodations, all of the necessities for meals and BBQing, and a great yard to hang around in when we weren’t at the beach or out and about.

Amazing house, beautiful views and great location!

If you’re looking for a perfect place for your getaway on the cape with family or friends, this house has got it all (besides linens, gotta bring those)! We made such great memories in this home, it felt like home by the end of our stay. Everything we needed for comfort and fun was there (air conditioning, tv, grill, crochet, beautiful kitchen for cooking and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating). Couldn’t have asked for a better place, and Trudy was such a wonderful host!

Family vacation

This was our second stay at this property and was fantastic overall. It was also clear that the owners have made significant upgrades in the last year (updates to the kitchen and bathrooms, painting) that were wonderful. The house itself is spacious and accommodates our whole group comfortably, and the location and view cannot be beat. We are looking forward to returning next year!

We had a lovely stay at Trudy's property in late July/early August. Overall, the house was absolutely beautiful and the location was amazing. A few items for the owner to consider for future improvement: - The lower level had a very strong musty smell - hard to avoid right by the water, I know, but making that clear in the listing could be important for those who are extremely sensitive to that.- There were not clear instructions about where to find things like extra paper goods, cleaning supplies, etc.- Check-out instructions weren't very clear so I have no idea if we did everything the owner expected.- We found dust and dead bugs in some of the dishes in the cabinets. It was easy to give them a quick wash, but the owners should communicate with their cleaning staff to be more diligent about this.We would definitely book this location again in the future, especially if the owners make some of the above improvements!

Spectacular sunsets and marshland views over looking Skajet Beach.

This was our third stay here. Perfect location with spectacular sunset views overlooking marsh land and Skaket Beach. House needs updating but can easily accommodate 8 adults and two young children. Works well for our family. We’ll be back!

July family stay

view is superb. Sitting on the deck a wonderful way to spend hours. Birding is good fun. Gazebos a treat to have a drink in. Inside, things are not so great. Some areas, apparently newly refurbished, are good but too many others are moldy, decayed and smelly. Needs work to bring everything up to previous magnificence.

Great multi generational vacation house

Nice big property. We had 4 generations under one roof. Great view over the marsh. Do be aware the photos are a little misleading. We thought we'd be able to access the marsh waterways at high tide, but that is not the case. Chris the property manager was great. I'd definitely come back. Short bike to Skaket beach and Rock Harbor.

Spectacular marsh views overlooking Skaket Beach

Convenient location and spectacular marsh views overlooking Skaket Beach from expansive deck are the selling features for this home. The house is in need of updates but the kitchen was recently renovated and AC installed. With 5 bedrooms 3.5 baths it easily accommodates our large family. We love spending time on the deck and watching the sun go down over the water. We have been returning for several years and plan to keep coming back. Trudy is a good host, always accessible and responsive.

Scenic property, great for family visits

We stayed there during the July 4th week. The sunsets over the bay were extraordinary! I think we saw fireworks at least three nights from the back deck. Since the house is right at the edge of the tidal marsh, the kids had fun learning about the crabs, birds and bunnies that they would see every day. Every day felt a little different depending upon the weather but was always beautiful in a different way. The house is great for family visits. Lots of space to come together, but also privacy when you need it. Hosts were polite and responsive. We didn't really need much because everything was fine as is, but they were quick to answer if we had a simple question.

Mallard View

The pros: The property was large and a great size for our family. The maintenance man, Chris, who is on site was very nice and asked times if we had any issues. The view was amazing and plenty of room to play outside. Home had amazingly detailed woodwork and tile flooring. The cons: Home is very dated and was not clean, even for a rental. Given the rental price, I would expect the home to be clean and to have some better updates to the property. Overall, a large and decent place, with a great view.

Roomy rental with superb view

A few minor fixes & this home would be an excellent & desirable rental. A spider infestation is evident in the walk-out level. New mattresses & pillows are needed on all beds. The mattresses have lost support & the pillows are stained & musty. Basically, all the bedding is soiled. In a rental, I'm sure this is hard to avoid. The view is lovely and we enjoyed it both from the indoors & sitting on the deck.

Family get together

Stunning view over the salt marshes. Spacious deck and garden. Lots of space indoors with plenty of space for our group of 12. Beds and furnishings were comfortable. Some rooms have been newly updated, but as other reviewers have mentioned, other parts need to be refurbished. For us the musty smell in the lower level, the kitchen drawers and the broken screens in the lower level were the most serious. However, the beautiful setting, spacious grounds and multiple seating areas meant this house worked well for our group.

Great stay with the family for a wedding nearby

Our family had a great time at Trudy's property. We visited for a wedding for the entire weekend and the house proved to be within 10 minutes of everything we needed to get to. Made it quick and easy to drive as well as get ubers as needed. The house itself is quite large with plenty of space for a much larger family than just the 8 that we brought that weekend. Also, my grandparents joined us with a cane and a wheelchair. The basement was actually a perfect opportunity for them to enter and leave through the garage without having to go up or down any staircases throughout their entire stay. The house is also a quick mile from Skaket beach and a mile away in the other direction from a marina. The groundskeeper (who is actually a very nice, friendly and helpful gentleman) gave us a tip to go visit Young's Fish Market for the best (and affordable) lobster rolls! Highly highly recommended. The only downside to the stay was just some minor cleaniness. The kitchen still had open food left over from previous stays in the fridge, cabinets, and coffee grounds still in the brewer. Obviously manageable, and not a big deal at all. Great stay, and would recommend anyone interested to stay as well!
