Our stay was absolutely wonderful! Meg was a gracious host. The house was beautiful and exactly what my family and I needed. The beds were very comfortable and the house was spotless and decorated in excellent taste. The kitchen had everything we needed and we enjoyed breakfast each morning on the side patio in the sunshine! The grill and fire pit were an added bonus which we enjoyed too. Will definitely be back again!

Vacation 2023

Great set up for vacationing with my husband, parents, and our two small children. Clean with great renovations, quiet neighborhood. Deck was used daily, one of my favorite places to enjoy after the beach and at dinner. Overall, perfect location for my family! My dad is very particular on where I’m Dennis Port he likes to stay :-). Many thanks for providing your home for our Cape 2023 family memories.

Great Cape vacation!

We were so happy to spend a week down the Cape at Meg’s family cape house. The location was perfect- a quick ride to beaches, food, ice cream- anything you could want. The neighborhood was nice for walking with our 1.5 year old son and we walked to the nearby beaches a few times. We had plenty of space in the house for our family of 3 and to have my parents join us. We loved eating every meal out on the deck, and the outdoor shower was great after a day at the beach. We would love to return again next year!

Had a wonderful week in Cape Cod at this charming rental property. The host, Meg, was communicative before, during and after our stay. She provided lots of helpful information about the house, as well as great information about the area and places to dine. The bedrooms were perfect for our family. The primary bedroom has an ensuite bathroom that was a good size with a stall shower, while the secondary bathroom was a little smaller, and had a tub/shower. There is also an outside shower that we did not utilize as the temps were still a little cool, but I can see this would be very useful after beach days. The kitchen was spacious with most every utensil and cooking supplies needed. There was a nice size living area, as well as additional living space in the basement with games, foosball and a tv that kept the kids entertained. There was also a washer and dryer that came in handy. The outdoor living space was also perfect with a nice deck and table for outdoor dining, as well as a separate patio area with a firepit and chairs and a good supply of wood for the firepit. I would not hesitate to rent this home again. It was perfect for our needs, located in a lovely neighborhood and convenient location.

Perfect place for a girl’s trip!

This was my first vacation to the Cape and this house was the perfect place for me and my four girlfriends to stay! The house was exactly as advertised, very clean, centrally located, great outdoor space, everything worked and it had A/C for the hot days! Meg and her husband were wonderful to communicate with from the start of the week at check in and throughout when an unforeseen incident came up that is laughable now (a hawk dropped a rabbit on the house—it was a whole thing), and when checking out-very easy to work with. I would recommend them highly and am trying to convince my parents to plan a trip next year!

Great Stay

Great location, close to everything, especially the beach (a short bike ride away). Plenty of space for our teen, tween and 7 year old. The house has everything you’ll need including kayaks and an all important karaoke machine!

Great beach vacation!

We had a great time the weather couldn’t have been better! The house is centrally located, you can go to one the many Dennis beaches or as we did on several days drive to one of the National Seashore beaches. It was great having the central ac as it was very humid during our stay so it made sleeping comfortably. Overall our stay was fantastic & plan to go back next year!!

We had a wonderful time - place was lovely !

We had a wonderful relaxing family vacation. The cottage was clean, convenient and had all the space and amenities that we needed for our family of 5. It was a treat to be walkable to the beach and it was lovely to sit on the deck and watch the birds and enjoy the sun. So nice to have a washer/dryer. We feel confident that everyone would have been comfortable inside on a rainy day - not that we had one! There is nothing we wanted for :) Thank you for the happy memories!

Clean, cute, quiet and stocked with every thing we needed!

Had a wonderful vacation! This house in a nice residential area with friendly neighbors but at the same time it is well located so getting to activities and attractions didn't take long at all. The house is very comfortable and well organised and has a great deck. We would definitely come back and are already thinking about our next vacation.

Best vacation home ever

German family with two kids (11, 13) visited the American part of the family and afterwards stayed a longish week on Cape Cod. We had a great time in the States and esp Cape Cod. We absolutely loved the house, it is very charming and comfortable. It is a vacation home for Meg and her family, which you directly can tell and was in immaculate condition when we arrived. The attention the detail and the very nice beach theme styling is great. Absolutely everything you might need is there which was great as we could not bring along much. OK, I would have liked one proper large frying pan. But otherwise we did not miss anything. It was great that we did not have to bring along beach towels, loved being able to use the beach chairs, the grill for barbecue was great and used every second day. Even candles and a water filter were provided. Due to tropical storm Hermine we had a few less nice days and came to appreciate how spacious the house is, esp the family area in the basement. Quite new washing machine and dryer were also very helpful. As mentioned in the other reviews, it is possible to walk to the beach and a few nearby restaurants. The house is in a very quiet street, the patio deck can be seen from the street. The garden/yard was a bit smaller as expected, but our kids are past that age anyway. It is a great vacation home for a family with kids of any age. And I would love to be able to come back very soon.
