Lovely Cottage
We had a great time the week we stayed here. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Our boys loved the upstairs bedroom/tv room to themselves. Nice location, we walked every morning with our dog. Very close to West Dennis Beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Property and location
The property was perfect for my family. My two boys (Age 6 & 7) loved the upstairs room. The stairs to go into their room were a bit step, but no issues. Outside was great to hang out for my wife and I after the kids went to bed. We loved the outdoor lighting. Outdoor shower was also huge when we came back from the beach which was a 3 minute drive. Awesome experience overall!

2nd stay at this house
We love this house, and have rented it for the past two summers. It is a great size and layout, very nicely decorated, has everything you need and is very convenient to West Dennis, Dennisport and Yarmouth. The upstairs room is great for our kids, and we love the outdoor sitting area and outdoor shower. It was really hot the week we were down, and we were SO HAPPY to have airconditioning. The only thing missing was a reading light in the master bedroom, and I bought one and left it there for future renters ;-)

Nice place
We really liked this house. It’s in a great location and on a very quiet dead end street with nice neighbors. It was only two of us with our dog so we didn’t use the upstairs area but I could see that being an issue for others as the stairs to get up there are very steep and almost more like a ladder. We had a little bit of an issue with a broken door when we first arrived and then a window that would not close but the property manager was quick to get someone over to fix the door and look at the window. All & all we loved the property but some updates on the house would have definitely made the experience better.

Beautiful, clean, and comfortable.
This house was perfect for our family of five. Very comfortable inside and out. The street is quiet and the neighbors very friendly. We walked and biked to the W. Dennis beach and due to its location we were short drives from many other beaches, great restaurants, and of course ice cream.

Holiday get together
House was very charming and comfortable. Beds great. We enjoyed the back room with larger table and played games. Thanks for space heater (we found in closet). Kitchen good - small but had what we needed to a New Years Eve dinner - also outdoor grill was put to use and my husband said it was in good shape.

Excellent Cape Vacation
We spent over a week at this house and enjoyed it thoroughly. It is in excellent condition: appliances, furnishings, yard all were clean, high quality and seemed lightly used. The beds varied in size, which was helpful, and were very comfortable. The house was, unlike many vacation rentals, very home-like, tastefully furnished and equipped, and seemed designed by people who cared about the property and lived there themselves. Since we were there after Labor Day, the town, neighborhood and beaches were less congested than during the summer season. We enjoyed the quiet and easy access to everything. An excellent ocean/Sound beach is a 5 minute drive away, with lots of parking. Free after Labor Day, too. Within walking distance (3 minutes) are a liquor/convenience store, an excellent pizza and sub shop, delicious ice cream, and a really good breakfast restaurant. We have no criticisms of the house and location. A second bathroom would be a great addition, however. Another comment is that the house provided much more than the listing noted: dish towels, an assortment of bags and wraps, great beach chairs.
