About this property

Dog friendly 4BR in secluded neighborhood with private beach on saltwater pond.

The perfect beach getaway! With Follins Pond right next door this is great for kayaking (2 for use on property) and laying out on the private beach. Perfect for families (or two). True beach-vibe home only 2/10 of a mile to private Quaker Beach on saltwater Follins Pond. Charming 4 bedroom, 2 bath home with well-equipped kitchen and plenty of off-street parking - located in a private, vintage Cape Cod neighborhood. For fishing, boating, kayaking (2 house kayaks provided) or SUP, the Bass River is only steps away and runs to Nantucket Sound. Enjoy indoor-outdoor living with covered patio, gas grill, backyard propane fire pit and outdoor shower. For rainy days or movie nights, relax in the home theater room, complete with microwave and mini-fridge. Short drive to north-side and south-side beaches (Mayflower or West Dennis), Cape Cod Rail Trail, Devil’s Purse Brewing Co, Johnny Kelley Recreation Area (basketball and tennis courts, ball fields, playground, Bocce courts, pickle-ball, handball court pavilion and Braille Trail for the sight impaired), Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, historic sites, golf courses and shopping. Memories are made at this Cape Haven! Fall in love with old Cape Cod…
Beds: 1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Full, 1 Twin, 1 Twin-over-Full bunk (see below for more info)

Quaker Beach is great, but it is not suited for large groups. It is a small, private beach reserved for this secluded community. Absolutely no beach parties or loud music! Bluefin is perfect for family groups and friends, however, the neighborhood is quiet, with several year-round residents, and the serenity of the surrounding area should be respected and preserved at all times. Our cottage is available for rent, but it’s also our home away from home. Please treat it with care and leave it in the condition you found it. Thank you!

Please note our home is dog friendly and we do allow adding your dogs to the booking. We do require that dogs be crated when no one is in the home. If you are bringing your dogs, please add them to the reservation prior to your booking request. While the house is thoroughly cleaned after each visit, we still ask you to consider this If you or anyone in your party has any allergies to dogs.

Please note we do have 3 surveillance cameras on the outside of the property near the entrances. These are not monitored during your stay, but are active at all times.

Bluefin Luxury
Bluefin Cottage was so much more than the description provided on VRBO. From the open floor plan on the upper level to the entertainment center with stadium seating on the lower level, nothing was overlooked by the owners to make our stay memorable. The kitchen was as well equipped as my own. I didn’t even have to unpack my traveling knives! We were a party of 7, grandparents, parents and 3 children ages 7-11. They had more fun learning to kayak and paddleboard at the local beach with the equipment available to guests. The property is lovely and the temperatures allowed us to use the firepit at night. My grandchildren just kept saying, “This the best vacation ever!”, and yes, they’ve been to Disney. I really can’t say enough about this home and the owners who are there to answer any question within minutes. Thank you Cunningham’s for a wonderful time!

Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood.
The house is beautifully decorated and easily accommodated 6 adults and 3 children. We loved the movie room and outdoor space on the side patio as well as the propane fire pit area in the back yard. Our kids loved the supplied games and the 4 year old wanted to bring the lady bug game home with her 😅 We didnt find the time to swim at the private beach, but did walk down there a couple nights and it is a great spot! The house is not far from beached, shopping, great restaurants, mini golf, etc. If we go back to the Cape in a large group again we would love to stay here in the future!

Beautiful Cape Retreat
The house was beautiful and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. There was a wonderful private beach within walking distance. The neighborhood was quiet, but close to the many great activities the Cape has to offer. It truly was the perfect house for our family.

Perfect Week in Dennis
We had a wonderful week at the Bluefin. The house comfortably accommodated my wife, our 8 kids and dog, and it felt special and luxurious. We had a great time walking to the nearby beach. The kids loved the kayaking and paddleboards and catching crabs was a huge hit. We also spent a few days at Mayflower and Corporation Beaches which were a short drive away and simply spectacular. I had to reach out to the hosts after a storm knocked out power and they were responsive and very helpful. We would highly recommend Bluefin!

Wonderful Spot, Great Host
There is much to praise about our host and their wonderful home. From the road, the house seems understated but within it you will find a surprisingly open and inviting space. It is especially true of the living room and kitchen/dining areas which lead to 2 bedrooms on the same floor that feel like you are in someone’s much loved home. The living space that is the basement looks nothing like one - updated and clean living quarters that include 2 more bedrooms, a modern bathroom and a treasure of an entertainment room that becomes a great hideaway for any family member to enjoy TV, even an arcade game. Special note must be made to the owners who were a pleasure to interact with but also incredibly accommodating to our special needs. They are incredibly giving people by making sure we had an enjoyable stay. This was unexpected and consequently meaningful to us. The home is otherwise ideally located, close to beach front where one can swim, paddle board or kayak. It is well situated in Cape Cod itself and only two miles from its Rail Trail which we highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a bike ride. Much needed rest was found here as well as fond memories.

Cape Long Weekend
Beautiful home and convenient location. We had such an amazing weekend, and fully enjoyed this home from the incredible movie room, to kayaking and checking out local fall and seafood festivals. House is so well appointed and there was plenty of space for us all to unwind. Thank you to our gracious hosts.

2nd year stay
This was our second year to stay at this property, it was better than last year with the additions. They have added mini splits and outdoor shower, very nice additions. This home is a very quiet neighborhood, great for taking our 4 yr, 18 month grandsons for walks and bike riding. When at the house we spent a lot of time on the covered patio relaxing and hanging out. The location is 5-15 minutes for anything you need or want. There is plenty to do in the area and we spent a lot of time at the beach that is a 5 minute walk from the house, the kids loved it. This location is also convenient to many beaches, restaurants, bike trials and playgrounds. Thank you Brenden and Meghan and we can not wait for 3rd years trip. My grandson keeps asking when are we going back to the cape house :)

Comfort on the Cape
As someone who owns a few nightly rentals I can say both myself and our group were thoroughly impressed with the amenities, location, and responsiveness of the host/ owner of this property. Not often do you rent a vacation home to find that it comes better equipped than advertised. Nice job Brendon on a well maintained and operated property. Our entire group only had positive comments. We were all so comfortable staying, the kids were more interested being “home” than seeing what the Cape had to offer!

Fun family week
We had a terrific stay at Bluefin Cottage. The house was well appointed and designed with a really clever use of space especially downstairs. Very cool bonus movie room. We loved having a short walk to the local beach, and a short drive to lots of beaches, restaurants, and attractions. Highly recommend for a relaxing stay in a lovely space!

Great family vacation with adult children and grandchildren
This home is nestled in a private, quiet neighborhood, great for taking walks or bike rides with our 3 yr old grandson. Upon arriving at Bluefin we quickly admired the covered side patio entrance to the house, this was a place we spent a lot of mornings for coffee and evenings for dinner or drinks. the Bluefin has endless amenities, every space has been well thought out and organized. The ocean theme is carried out throughout with the beautiful decorations. All the linens and bedding were very new and high quality keeping us very comfortable. We loved having the french doors to close off the kitchen space with our grandchildren being early risers. the media room was an Awesome experience for a family movie night and watching football! The fire pit was a nice touch for cooking hotdogs with our grandson for dinner! The location of the Bluefin is private and is easy access to a The Braille Trail; fitness loop and playground, The Cape Cod Rail Trail and many beaches such as Mayflower and Grays Beach which we enjoyed every day. This location is also convenient to many restaurants that we enjoyed as well as having a wonderful gas grill and every amenity you need for cooking a wonderful meal at the Bluefin! Thank you Brenden and Meghan for the Best Family Vacation we have had at the Cape! :)

Loved Bluefin
We had the pleasure of staying at Bluefin the first week of August for our first time In Cape Cod and had an awesome vacation week. The home is open, airy and beautifully decorated. Plenty of plates, cups, and kitchen utensils if you plan on cooking. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway - away from the hustle and bustle, this is the house for you. The living space is so comfortable and there is plenty of room for extended family or friends. This time it was just 4 of us (husband and 2 teenage sons). Just a short walk down to launch the kayaks into the bay and then relax on the sand. We took in the nature all around us - the outdoor patio is simply relaxing. A beautiful friendly community that is lovely for morning and evening walks. The supermarket is a short 7 min drive and we ate a few nights in Hyannis which is about 15-20 min drive depending on traffic. The boys also parasailed for their first time at Sesuit Harbor, also beautiful. We went to the museum and miniature golfing. Plenty to do here all within a short drive. Could have easily stayed another week without craving the comforts of home because this house is too cute and comfy. Thank you Brendon and Meg. We enjoyed every minute at Bluefin.❤️

Perfect for family vacation
We stayed in this property for a week. 2 families with kids ages from 7 to 11 and we had the best time. The house is very confortable and is full of details. You can enjoy outside firepit and s’mores, or go kayaking, enjoy the neighborhood beach, or a movie night. We made amazing memories with our kids and family friends in the house and in the towns and beaches in the area. Totally recommend, not one negative point!

Wonderful Family Getaway at the Cape
We felt like we were staying on park-like property. There is so much space for a family to spread out between the firepit area in the backyard and the patio area with the grill. The bedrooms are spacious, and the bathrooms are updated. The kitchen is beautiful and very well equipped, and the open layout gave us all the chance to gather. The movie room is great, especially for rainy days. We would love to stay again when back at the Cape! It was also nice to have the small beach nearby and the path to Quaker beach, for morning walks or a quick dip in the water. We're super glad we discovered this gem. Thank you for a great stay!

His grandfather owned and operated a charter fishing boat named the “Bluefin” - hence Bluefin Cottage. We were married on Old Silver Beach in North Falmouth. We have 2 teenage daughters and have spent countless summer vacations with friends and family on the Cape.

Why they chose this property

The perfect spot on Cape Cod that is in the center of everything with everything you could want: a private salt water beach, ability to bring your dogs, fully setup kitchen, a movie room for those rainy days, plenty of space to spread out, quite neighborhood perfect for walks, and much more.

What makes this property unique

Location! Nestled in a quiet neighborhood with access to the Bass River and a private beach and nearby boat launch, but only a short drive to ocean beaches, this house offers the best of both worlds. So spacious, yet still maintains that cozy cottage feel. Plus, for those who can’t bear to leave their fur babies at home, it’s dog-friendly (for a small fee)!
