Here in East Orleans you will not miss any other area in the world. This rare piece of paradise has truly breathtaking scenes that will never get old. If you are a boater, paddler, surfer, beach lover this is the spot you would envy over.

Popular Nauset Beach is one of those beaches that stretches for miles and is constantly grabbing your attention with stunning rolling waves, perfect sand and beach grass on the dunes. One of the great things about East Orleans is that there are no big buildings lining the shoreline. No condo buildings or anything like that to take away from the natural beauty.

Further in toward East Orleans Village where there are a few great restaurants and shops to enjoy there is Nauset Marine. This marina is located on Meetinghouse Pond. Meetinghouse Pond is a saltwater pond that harbors a beautiful array of boats. From Meetinghouse Pond you can venture out the river and out into Pleasant Bay and out to the Atlantic Ocean.

Some of our favorite places in the world are located in East Orleans. Above is a special place where the sunsets are great and it is way less known as Rock Harbor is for watching the sunset.

Homes in the East Orleans and specifically the Nauset Heights area are always in high demand. We have rented and sold several homes in this area. One of the more notable homes that have sold here in the recent past is 51 Nauset Rd. Orleans. It is a stunning home overlooking the Atlantic high up on the bluff. It has 5 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and over 5,000 sq. ft. of perfection. It sold for $7,250,000 but you can get properties in Nauset Heights for much less. There are some cottage condo colonies that sell in the 400s. This past year and half has made that go up a bit. Orleans and East Orleans are in high demand so the prices are typically more than the Cape wide averages.

Another special spot in East Orleans is Pochet Rd. and out into the Pochet Association. This association has the best Nauset Beach private access over a wooden bridge. The homes in the association would be the only ones to be able to use this access point. It is less busy than Nauset Heights and similarly priced. There are no cottage condo colonies in the Pochet Association so the prices here typically start at about $950,000 and go up.
