We loved this little cottage. Had everything we needed. Extremely clean and cozy. We loved being close to some great restaurants including The Original Seafood and Oyster Co. We went to Brewster Flats during our stay (as recommended by the hosts) and it was one of our favorite parts of the trip. Also did a shopping day in Nantucket which was well worth the trip. Loved the location of the house, our only complaint is we wished we were closer walking distance to the beach.

Cape Cod Magic

This was our second summer visiting Cape Cod with friends who live in Harwich. This cottage was exactly where we needed to be and it was fantastic - super comfortable and very well appointed. It was extremely clean, decorated adorably and had everything we needed. Highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Dennis / Harwich area of the Cape.

Delightful , airy and nicely decorated. our Grandsons love sleeping in the loft!

We are familiar with the Town of Dennisport , but had never stayed there until this year. So much to do for adults and kids. Beaches we lovely, but you do have to get there early every day. Restaurants are perfect, and varied in choices. We would love to come back.!

Comfortable stay, central location

My daughter and I had a lovely stay at this Dennisport cottage. We had two glitches at the outset with entry and heating--both resolved quickly by phone with Kelly--and everything else was perfect. Comfortable, clean, attractive, well-stocked - couldn't ask for more. It's also a great mid-Cape location, making for less time in the car when traveling to other Provincetown, Chatham, Hyannis, and Falmouth. Lovely vacation in a comfy place. Would stay here again.

Enjoyable week

Overall, my husband and I and our two young kids had a great vacation staying at this location. Beds were very comfortable which is one of my favorites for making this house rated great. There was very little things like no Tupperware and no TV other than the one in the master bedroom. I ended up buying ziplock bags for storing food. We quickly got over the TV situation because we brought games and the couple of movie nights were fun when we piled up in the master bedroom. If my kids were any older, it would definitely be a problem when there’s no longer a bed time. I must say the decor was beautiful! I wish I could decorate like that. Right down to the throw pillows, I absolutely loved!

I had a wonderful stay at Kelly’s property, over the Thanksgiving holiday. I am looking forward to a summer time visit, so I can make full use of the back yard and kayak. Extremely well appointed, and very comfortable. Great combination of historical, beachy, with warm modern touches.

Perfect cottage for our girls weekend

This cottage is adorable, cozy, very clean, and well-appointed. You can tell the owners take great pride in their home. They are communicative as well and and checked in to make sure all was well. The property is centrally located on the Cape with easy access to stores and sites. The nearby CCRT is a gem. We rented bikes and pedaled up to Orleans and back on a safe, scenic path. The ferry to Martha's Vineyard is a short drive away, definitely a must do while there. We looked forward to coming home after a full, fun day to this beautiful home. Can't say enough, highly recommend!

Great location

This property is centrally located on the Cape and is convenient to several other nearby towns. It is also close to the Cape Cod Rail Trail, which we enjoyed. It was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the deck and backyard. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking/eating at home. The driveway was a little dicey getting out due to overgrown shrubs on the neighbors side, so you have to be very careful when pulling out. Great experience for our first time on Cape Cod!

Perfect location / beautiful home

We were able to easily get to Hyannisport, Ferry to Martha’s Vineyard, and Chatham Beach all within a 15 min drive. Chatham Beach and Mayflower beach were beautiful and close as were many great restaurants. Our bed was very comfortable and the outdoor shower was awesome! If you’re traveling with kids beware of the staircase - it is quite narrow and steep. Kitchen was perfectly equipped for cooking. Thanks for a great place to stay!

Great Choice for Visiting Cape Cod!

We’re long time VRBO customers ( well over a decade) and do extensive research when choosing places to stay, including factors like location, reviews, features, proximity to points of interest, owner commitment, etc. First off, this home hits all the key factors for location - you can hit Provincetown and all the spots along the drive up plus also back west to Woods Hole/Falmouth. Hyannis is nearby for quick ferry trips to Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket. Being in Mid Cap, Brewster and Harwich are minutes away and so is one of the best bike trails in the US. With regards to the cottage: It is a fantastic choice for families. If you’re tired of eating out, the kitchen is very well equipped. The grill is very handy. The cottage itself is a gem - very tastefully decorated, but also modernized with high tech thermostats, fireplace, and motion sensor equipped outdoor lighting. Highly recommended. BTW, this is our 3rd trip to the Cape. Location is spot on.

Location, Location, Location! We knew we wanted to be by the Dennis beaches. Once we saw the light in this cottage we knew it was meant to be!
