You will be conveniently located with easy access to the pristine bay beaches of Dennis which are only a 15-minute drive down Rt. 6A. Bike, walk, or drive to Dennis pond which is 1 mile away and is one of Cape Cod's cleanest freshwater ponds. Enjoy kayaking, fishing, swimming, or just relaxing on the beach which has lifeguards on duty during the weekend. Four kayaks & life vests are provided but guests are responsible for transporting them to desired waterways. Five bicycles and helmets are also available for exploring the nature trails, neighborhood, and bike trails. There is also a neighborhood playground which is a 10 minute walk from the house.

Visit downtown Hyannis, just 15 minutes away, where there is always something fun to do for any age. It boasts eclectic and fun museums, library, carousel, art galleries, boutiques, pubs, fine restaurants, nightclubs, ice cream parlors, coffeehouses, bookstores, harbor cruises, and the ferries to Nantucket and Martha's vineyard.
Experience the quieter side of cape cod. Scenic route 6A is chock full of antique shops and some of New England’s finest boutiques. The tree-lined winding road will bring you to many of the area’s finest restaurants while passing through some of America’s oldest villages.

“Landscapes, like beauty, may well be colored by the eye of the beholder, but steering along tree-shaded route 6A on a mild summer day, with blue inlets of cape cod bay on one side and white picket-fenced houses on the other, I’m tempted to conclude this may be the most appealing stretch of America I know.”
–Jonathan Kandell, Smithsonian Magazine, April 2005

Excellent location for easy access to beaches bike trails and marshes
We had a beautiful week weather wise. The house had plenty of games puzzles and bikes as well as kayaks available which we took advantage of. Bathroom shower curtains/ doors not the greatest but overall a very nice place to stay . Loved the outdoor shower and jacuzzi. Would definitely rent again!

First Cape Rental
This house is a beautiful rental property, my family and I could not believe it was pet friendly. There was plenty of room for my parents, 80 pound family dog, and me and my fiancé. Sunsets were beautiful especially if you walked down the street a bit to look over the marsh. The hot tub in the morning looking over the tall marsh grass with bright blue skies was very peaceful. The house had everything you could need. Plus it is only a mile from some very good restaurants like Inaho and Yarmouth Inn. The only thing that was a bummer was the bugs but we did not get citronella candles so maybe that could've helped. The grill was clean and worked well and the outdoor shower was very nice! The location as convenient and scenic, we were very pleased with this property.

Inviting and Comfortable Home for Family Trip
This house is a wonderful option for a quiet and relaxing getaway on the Cape. The marshland view just outside the plentiful windows was lovely and tranquil. Our group of five people plus our dogs felt right at home and we had plenty of room to unwind during our week long stay. Great location near the beautiful Gray’s Beach and easy access to everything Mid-Cape. It was clear from when we made the reservation, all the way until checkout, that the owner (Nancy) is hands on and takes great care in ensuring her guests are satisfied. She wants to ensure that the house meets or exceeds expectations. We had a wonderful stay.

Quiet Neighborhood and Convenient Location
I spent a week in Nance's rental with my family over the Thanksgiving holiday. The house is in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the marsh trails for exploring and central to everything on the Cape. Nancy is very responsive to any questions or needs. There were a number of extra fees, which I wasn't expecting given the nightly price of the rental, but you can choose which additional amenities you want to pay for. Overall we had a great stay!

Perfect spot!
We had a great week at Sunset Cottage. The house is in a perfect location - on a quiet street with a beautiful backyard and a large, comfortable, accommodating deck. The house is clean and well equipped, the beds are comfy with top notch linens, the living room with the large smart TV is a great spot for evening movie watching and the kitchen has everything you need to prepare all your meals. The big grill out back certainly came in handy. Grab a drink and sit out back to catch a spectacular sunset while listening to the myriad of songbirds. The owner is wonderful and was immediately responsive. Don’t hesitate ... you will love it here!

Beautiful sunset
My family of 5 (plus the dog) had a great stay. Nance was a great host, really easy to communicate with and provided us with great information about the area to help make our stay even better. The view from the yard was beautiful, we found ourselves rushing home every night to see the sunset from the yard. The house was perfect for the 5 of us and was very convenient to rte 6 and 6A. We also enjoyed hiking and biking right from the house. We would definitely stay here again.
