Spotless! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Shower/tubs need handrails for us older folks to stay safe. Same thing for entryway; the distance between steps was really high.

Cape Cod old School

Rustic cottage that was clean, terrifically located and walking distance of a beautiful beach on the Bay Side. It was not air conditioned but fans in every room worked fine even on a very hot weekend.

Excellent family getaway!

The home was within walking distance to Dennis Beach. It was perfect for our family of four, with two little ones. We didn't have to worry about beach parking and could easily run back to the house when we needed something. Being this close to the beach and at such a reasonable price was a steal! We will be returning next year!

Great property

The place was a blast from the past. Absolutely loved it! The host was amazing. We messaged them about no propane for the gas grill. And within a few hours they had dropped off propane! Loved how secluded the backyard felt.

Great Getaway

The location is on a quiet street that is a 5-10 minute walk to the beach. Backyard was large enough to enjoy and sitting on the deck was fantastic.

Greatest house I have ever stayed at in cape cod

Staying in the house was so convenient especially due to the accessibility to the ocean. The neighbors are non invasive and it is nice.

Relaxing cape cod near the beach

Great Cape Cod style house with a wrap around deck. The backyard is well forested but has a enough grass for some great games of corn hole. Property was tidy and the layout was good for our group. We would definitely stay again.

Great spot

Quick weekend trip with little kids. Everything we needed. Walk to the beach, clean comfortable beds, nice bathrooms and great outdoor shower. The deck is a nice spot to sit and relax once the kids have gone to sleep, without waking them. Would definitely recommend.

Family Getaway in Dennis

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Dennis. The Bayview beach and neighborhood were extraordinary. The central location allowed us to take several day trips to other areas of the cape. The house was roomy and quite. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you.

Overall we had a great stay! The house was equipped with everything we needed and it was perfect distance from the beach. We had some issues with the guest bathroom shower and the living room fan, but other than that everything was great!

Clean, close to beach, and plenty of anemities

This quaint cape cod house sits in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of the beach. Very clean and spacious. We did visit during the week of NE's hottest in June. We did have an abundance of fans in all rooms but no A/C. As of note, this is a older furnished home and may not be of some people's liking. We felt it was very nostalgic and indicative of the cape. Enjoyed the deck in the evenings, cooking out and just enjoying a cocktail In the private setting. Thank you for a great experience.

Peaceful and close to everything.

Satisfy everyone, beautiful beaches within a short walk. Activities, whale watch from Barnstable harbor a 15 minute drive. Played several golf courses within 15 minutes. Great food and ice cream. After a great day out, went back to a comfortable home to enjoy a drink on the back deck
