Skaket Beach Motel
A straightforward Cape Cod base with a pool and room to breathe.
A place to stay in ORLEANS
Skaket Beach Motel sits in Orleans, Massachusetts, on the mid-Cape where bay beaches and cycling trails are close at hand. Free parking is on-site, and an outdoor swimming pool gives the property a practical edge for summer stays. Rooms run 22 square metres and come with a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee machine — useful when you want to eat in or pack a beach lunch. All three room types include air conditioning, flat-screen TV, and free Wi-Fi. Rates start from $298.
Who this stay suits
A no-frills motel with a pool, in-room kitchen gear, and free parking — practical for exploring Orleans and the surrounding Cape.
Best for
- Couples and small families on a Cape Cod road trip
- Guests who want to self-cater
- Cyclists using the off-site trails
- Travellers needing accessible rooms
Less suited to
- Those wanting on-site dining or a bar
- Guests looking for large or suite-style rooms
Outdoor pool and garden
The outdoor swimming pool is the social centre of the property in summer. Outdoor furniture and a garden area sit alongside it, giving guests somewhere to dry off and sit without leaving the grounds.
Room setup and in-room kit
Each 22-square-metre room has a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee machine built in. That combination — unusual at this price point — makes a real difference for guests spending several nights on the Cape.
On-site mini golf
A mini golf course is available on the property. It is a small detail, but one that gives families with children something to do without driving anywhere.
