Location: Dennis Port, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA (Centrally Located Area, just off Rt 28. 15 min to Hyannis)
Accommodations: Year Around House, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
This charming year around vacation home lies in a quiet, rural neighborhood on one-half acre yet still close to the village and beaches. A classic ''Cape Cod'' home, we have decorated in a unique ''seacoast'' motif to make our house a special one.
We also keep it very neat, clean and ''ship-shape'' condition.
We have 2 large bedrooms with lots of closet space. With two full baths we can accommadate a large family.
The sunny dining room seats 6-8 people& kitchen. Our comfortable living room has a couch and 2 recliners for a relaxing evening pause. And if there on a chilly night the fireplace makes it even more cozy.
There is approx. 1300 sq ft of living space. The kitchen has been updated with lots of new cupboards & counter space. Lots of fun Cape Cod dishes, plenty of pots & pans, silverware/utensils & large pots for steaming your fresh lobster or clams. The kitchen is open to the sunny dining room, papered in sky and ocean scenes and 4 large windows with hanging colored glass fishing balls that send rainbows of color into the room.
Our dining room also features a desk for maps, brochures, menus, and a filled notebook describing the area and all its ammenities. A unique useful guide. We even sport a ships' brass dinnerbell!
Our blue & white papered living room has a queen sofa-bed, and 2 recliners for relaxing or watching movies or the flickering flames in the fireplace. Wait 'till you see our authentic lobster trap coffee table! Look thru all our Cape Cod magazines (old and new issues with lots of the Cape stories and things to do).
The mirror over the fireplace, reflects lots of light from the two front windows and built in bookcases span either side of the fireplace stocked with lots of books, videso & games. We have a card table to can set up for games, a hand of bridge or enjoy one of our many puzzles on a rainy afternoon.
Our largest bedroom with soft lavender and rose paper/paint, has 2 gueen beds, 2 dressers, 2 night stands and 3 shelved closets. A pink tiled, swan motif bath is right outside this room, & has a tub/shower. We provide a hairdryer, first aid kit and beach towels. Sorry, but sheets/towels/etc. are not included this year. However if very inconvenient to bring your own, (i.e. overseas or flying)we can provide them for a minimal fee.
On the other side of the house is the second queen bedroom, decorated in pastel greens & white, with a showered bath in seashell wallpaper. This bed & bath has 2 dressers, mirrors, closet with shelves and 5 windows as well as it's own entrance from outside!
The new washer and dryer are in the basement along with some extra supplies (chairs and outdoor equipment).
There is a large patio just outside the kitchen with 2 large wooden tables, one with an umbrella and outdoor chairs. We have a large gas barbecue grill (with an extra burner).
In our spacious 1/2 acre yard, the driveway winds up around the backyard, curving around an 'ancient' oak tree & circles back to the front. A great place to park your small craft. We even have a half moon drive in the front of the house, so lots of parking for company!
Bordering the patio are flowering shrubs of lilac, azalea, wisteria, spirea, and hydrangeas. We try to maintain several perennial & annual flower gardens you are welcome to water or weed anytime! The yard has a variety of trees and flowering bushes; pine, blue spruce, maple, oak, mimosa, forsythia, tulip tree, firebushes, a Harry Lauder Walking Stick, white & pink rhododendron and several unidentified flowering bushes. We have a stationary two seater swing and a convenient clothes line to dry off beach towels after a day at the shore.
We are always updating the house and yard to make your vacation the best ever, so you want to come again year after year. I leave a welcome guest book for you to comment on ways to improve our property or just to share your thoughts about a great resturant or adventure you've had while there.
We are located only 1 mile from the famous ''Cape Cod Bike Trail'' and provide several bikes for your use or bring your own if you prefer. We are within walking distance (about .5 mile) from the quaint center of Dennisport with many antique shops and speciality stores, as well as a Job Lot, a health food store, pizza parlor, Mexican & breakfast restaurants, and Brooks.
We are less than 1.5 miles to the closest beach, but there are 10-12 beaches in Dennis/Dennisport you can visit under 1 parking sticker pass. You can also walk/short drive to Swan Pond (which has access to Nantucket sound) and enjoy boating, kayaking, canoeing, or just watching the may birds that frequent this water area.
We are also a short drive to the many golf courses, miniture golf, fishing & whale watching piers, museums, cranberry bogs, and the famous Dennis Theater - the oldest theater in the northeast.
We are about 15 minutes from Hyannis and 30 minutes to Provincetown using the Rt.6 bypass. Or meander to other towns and villages along Rt 28 or 6A and delight in the uniqueness of the Cape.
We leave a large notebook at the house with maps, menus & lots of information about the area, along with a list of emergency/useful numbers.
We provide 'in yard' trash pick for your convenience, so you won't need to remember to bring the barrels out to the road, just the trash out to the barrels.
We feel you will certainly enjoy our house & we are only a phone call away if you have any questions or concerns.
Come for your perfect ''Cape Cod'' experience!

Welcome to our guestbook. Since we are just beginning to use this - I am transcribing some wonderful comments our guests have made recently. "..It was a wonderful week. The cottage was so comfortable that we felt at home almost instantly. It is convieniently located." "We found ourselves going to the beaches, playing mini golf, ordering lobsters from Sveden's and dining in restaurants along Rt.28. We also took a morning fishing trip out of Harwichport to keep my husband happy. Jessie, our little dog, had plenty of running room in your spacious back yard.... Hopefully we can rent your place again somday. Thank you very much.... Fondly, Donna M." From Baltimore, MD. Thank you Donna for the wonderful compliment - we do aim to please. Susan & Sarah.
