We had an incredible stay! The house was better than the pictures, very clean, well equipped with plenty of towels, stocked kitchen for cooking meals, and lots of space to spread out. Our toddler son loved the shuffleboard and fenced in large yard to run around and play soccer. We enjoyed movies in the lower level speakeasy.Communication with the host was easy with fast responses.We loved how close playgrounds, beaches, restaurants and a grocery store was to this location- all 5-10 drive away. We loved staying here and plan to return!

Compassion house

This house was amazing. I would highly recommend staying here with your family and friends. It had a great vibe and all the supplies in the house were great. Easy check in and out. Can’t say enough of sandpiper property and their house. Top notch and you get what you see in the pictures. I would go to anyone of his properties. Thank you for a great stay. We will be back

Proximity to the East Dennis beaches is a big plus for the Compass House. Quiet neighborhood, fenced yard, clean house, well-stocked kitchen and a substantial hot tub (grandkids had a blast) added to the overall ambience of the place. Great finished basement... even a class pool table. The deck top fire pit was a s'mores attraction and outdoor cooking/refrigeration was first rate. Chair cushions for deck dining were absent, so most dinner times were spent indoors. But overall this was a great rental. After all, when Mayflower beach is minutes away what can go wrong?

Great vacation

We had so much fun at the Compass House. Our 4 adult kids all came and we spend many hours grilling, enjoying the hot tub and the fire pit. Oh and the mattresses were really comfy. Highly recommend!

Christmas on the Cape

This house was perfect for 3 couples and a very cute pup.Clean, well appointed and so cozy for Christmas.Although we didn't make good use of the backyard, it was chilly on Cape, the space was ideal for the dog and so magical with the cafe lights.

The perfect get away

Great location, just minutes from beautiful beaches / Scargo Tower / Dennis Market. The home is cozy & clean, fireplace is perfect for chilly nights. The speakeasy is a fun spot for cocktails & a game of pool / movie night. Outside seating & kitchen with hot tub is awesome. Beautiful fenced in yard is perfect for pups to play. Love the home & will def be back. Thank you for a great experience.

Compass House Like Home

This was our third time at this house, so it feels like home. The house is well stocked with everything we needed. The new update to the basement was great. Owner is very responsive if you have any questions or concerns. We will be back next year!!

Compass House 2024

We had a beautiful week stay at the Compass house! The house was perfect for our families with plenty of room for all of us to enjoy a peaceful Cape Cod vacation. We spent most of our time on the back deck which was equipped with comfortable patio furniture, a large table for family dinners, an immaculate maintained hot tub, outdoor kitchen, and more! We had everything we could have needed for our week long stay and are so grateful to be heading home with beautiful memories from the week. We look forward to returning next time we are on the Cape!

The perfect home

We stayed in early July and the house and amenities were top notch. We didn’t even use the house to its full potential (hot tub and speakeasy) we were so pleased. Jim is a very responsible owner and was quick to help up with a few minor needs. Having young kids, a home with a fenced in yard and lots of towels and soap in each bathroom would make my packing less for the next time around. Everything was clean and new and exactly what we were looking for in a rental. We hope to return next year!

Great house for our week on the Cape! The house was updated and very nice inside and our. Plenty of space to spread out and unwind. We had our family of 6 plus a couple friends and grandmothers and for fine. Basement was very cool and the pool table and shuffleboard table got a lot of use. Backyard deck was awesome and we spent many nights grilling and relaxing by the fire pit or in the hot tub watching Red Sox games on the outdoor TV. Brought our dog and the house was perfect for her with a fenced backyard. Location was great - minutes from Mayflower Beach and central to the Cape so we could explore from Hyannis to P-Town. Very responsive property manager that responded to questions very quickly. Would highly recommend!

Perfect for families

This property was fantastic for our Cape Cod vacation! TVs are everywhere including outside. Table shuffleboard, pool table and hot tub provided endless additional opportunities for fun at home. The patio has very comfortable furniture for enjoying the yard. We had most lunches out and were able to prepare wonderful dinners in the nicely appointed kitchen and on the outside grill. The dining table accommodates 10 without trouble. Beds were comfortable. The upstairs bedrooms got a bit warm at night. The location allowed us to visit many communities and beaches going both east and west. We had bicycles for our entire group and were very happy that we could get to the Cape Cod rail trail almost entirely on dedicated bike paths. Would highly recommend this property and the host/management company. Everything was really great!

Girls Weekend Away

This was a perfect location for our group of seven to relax and be outside. It's a lovely neighborhood with nearby walking trails and is just a short drive to Mayflower Beach. The kitchen is well-equipped and open with a large counter /seats so it was easy to congregate during meal preps. The deck is spacious with great seating - we grilled and watched football on the outside TV screen and took advantage of the nice weather. Big dining tables inside and out with plenty of room. Bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms updated and very clean. James was very quick to respond to a question I had about check-in. Great experience all-around!

Overall very good with one glitck

Family member found dirty linens on their bed. Clearly the cleaner never checked that the bed was stripped when previous guest checked out. Our guests ended up sleeping on top of the bed. Owner offered to rectify by coming in to change linens. We opted to do ourselves as a family member was uncomfortable having unknown person coming into home. More bath towels are recommended also.

What a great spot! Close to everything. House had everything you needed and Jim was very responsive. The house had plenty of room for all and the backyard was perfect! Mayflower beach is close by (8 minute) car ride and was well worth the drive. The beach was amazing!

Great house; great stay!

Booked this house to sneak in a week away before school starts. Such a great find - purpose built for relaxing, socializing and spending as much time outdoors as in. Great back deck with comfy seating, dining space, fire pit, hot tub and outdoor kitchen. Comfy beds throughout. State of the art appliances , ice maker, etc. Lots of great details. Close to town, beaches and shops. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for a great experience!
