Location & house overview

We'd love to host your at our family owned and operated cape retreat.

Our cape cottage is located in Dennis Port, tucked away from route 28 on a neighborhood side street. The house is 7 minutes walking to downtown Dennis Port, where you'll find great ice cream, breakfast, groceries, Walgreens, a liquor store, pizza, and more. Leave the car in the driveway and walk to get a coffee in the morning or ice cream after a beach day!

Our home is located centrally to many beach options - you'll find great beaches in both directions as close as 0.7 miles (a quick bike or walk). If you like exploring, this location is a great hub to try the 16 different beaches Dennis has to offer with a weekly beach pass. Dennis is known for having some of the most beautiful beaches on the cape - you can visit a different one each day!

Pack light - the house comes fully equipped for family beach days with beach chairs, beach umbrellas, coolers (of all sizes), and beach caddies to transport everything on the sand that we provide for your use. Our storage shed is also full of bikes (adult and child sizes), yard games, wiffleball, and more for kids to enjoy while playing in the yard. There is also an outdoor shower with hot water.

The house is Mid-cape, centrally located to visit many of the other beautiful quaint Cape Cod towns all within a short drive. This includes ferries to Martha’s Vineyard in nearby Hyannis (10 miles from the house) or the ferry to Nantucket (5 miles from the house)


About the house

The house is updated with modern amenities, while maintaining the home’s original cape charm. Enjoy central AC, fast wifi, flat screen TVs, full cable. You can access your own Netflix account or other streaming service on our smart TV or browse the on-demand cable selection. We also have a large DVD collection of kid and adult movies to enjoy an old-school movie night in our movie theater. There is parking behind the home in the private driveway for 2 cars (it's possible to park more cars by blocking cars in).

Enjoy the provided selection of coffees and teas by the bay window drenched in the morning sun or head outside to the two rockers on the front porch to plan your day. The house comes fully equipped with all linens provided, toilet paper, paper towels, and a fully stocked kitchen. The kitchen has all you’d need to prepare a meal for the family or pack lunch for the beach, including spices, a lobster pot, microwave, toaster, pots and pans, plastic bags, tin foil, and much more. There is a brand new washer and dryer in the closet of the twin bedroom with provided detergent and fabric softener. Beach towels for the whole family are also provided.

At the end of a hot summer beach day, head downstairs to enjoy your very own movie theater in our lower level, equipped with a high definition projector. Select a DVD to watch with the family or watch anything on TV (including on-demand shows and movies).

Outside you’ll find a grill and several lounging and eating areas throughout the yard. The backyard is private, surrounded by 50ft pine trees, a perfect place to make smores around the fire pit after dinner or enjoy a glass of wine.


Sleeping

On the ground level of the home, you’ll find two bedrooms and a full bathroom with a tub. The spacious primary bedroom has a king bed and flat screen television with cable. The second bedroom is a bright and cozy room with two individual beds. All linens are provided, you’ll arrive to freshly made beds with clean sheets and cozy blankets. In the living space, the couch pulls out to a queen bed. All linens and pillows for the pull out couch are provided as well.

Our house has recently been expanded featuring a coastal rustic lower level with an additional queen bedroom, full bath, and reading nook. This area feels like its own private suite. Enjoy our "Below Deck" feel downstairs featuring port holes in our bedroom with nautical antique touches throughout.

Wonderful and Cozy Vacation Home
Kate’s home was perfect for our stay. The home is conveniently located near the town center making dinners and breakfast out easy. The full kitchen allowed us to comfortably cook meals at home if desired. Plenty of outdoor space and a fire pit. Parking was easy in the driveway. Beds were very comfortable and the house very clean for our stay. Would return in a heartbeat.

Beautiful home!
This house is beautiful, even prettier than pictured. It is so unique and well decorated and has everything you could possibly need inside or outside. The movie theatre in the basement is a total treat! Our little ones and family couldn’t get enough of it. The house is in a great location to drive to smaller local beaches or jump to other towns like Hyannis and Chatham. The neighborhood is very quiet. Most go to Holy Cow ice cream a block away! We would definitely rent from Kate again.

Great week
Thank you so much! The house was perfect for our family. The house had all the amenities we needed for the week! My grandkids loved the movie theater, couldn’t wait to go down every night and pick a new movie to watch! Location was perfect not far to beaches, lake and activities! Had so much fun!

Very clean and neat house
Very charming cottage that is close to a lot of attractions. Clean and well stocked. It was so nice having beach chairs and towels at the house and not having to bring them along. Our only complaint was the downstairs was very cold/damp and the toilet didn’t flush very efficiently. We did try turning the temp up in the house but the upstairs got too warm. We wouldn’t stay again but only because of this. It’s in a great location and very charming.

Dennis Port
The first floor was great and had a fully stocked kitchen, and there’s a nice setup to eat breakfast outside, which we did every morning. We also really appreciated having bikes available. The neighborhood is okay, but doesn’t have the charm of other towns we’ve stayed in. There is a cute strip of stores and a great market just a few blocks away. The main problem was the downstairs bedroom setup that had very minimal natural light and was cold and damp and smelled like a litter box. The general clamminess of the room was really unpleasant. I had to buy a scented candle to help with the smell but it didn’t do much. And the plumbing was a little off-putting: when you flush the toilet it gurgles in the shower. I’m sure it’s fine, but I wore my flip flops while showering. The whole bottom half could really use a fresh coat of paint, some dehumidifiers and maybe wall to wall carpeting. The mattresses on all of the beds are soft, which is great if that’s what you prefer. And the coffee maker was temperamental. The regular drip machine tasted terrible and the Keurig had a a spotty performance. We spent 45 minutes getting four adults a decent cup of coffee in the morning. It’s always a great time on the cape so we still had a terrific week, but this choice of house didn’t add to our enjoyment.

perfect spot for a family - a total gem
Kate's place was a gem of a discovery - can't recommend enough! My family kids under 10 years + my parents in their 70's had the best time at the house! It was better than the pictures, the kids (and all of us actually), loved the movie theater, and a perfect location. There was lots of space for both privacy and hanging out together in the kitchen. Also, the kitchen was thoughtfully stocked - it had everything we need to make breakfast lunch and dinner. Can't wait to come back in the spring and summer! Thank you Kate for an incredible experience.
