Great location with easy access to the beach, restaurants and shops. Outdoor area was perfect for cocktails before dinner and s’mores for dessert. Cottage was comfortable and well stocked. We loved the beds. Aruna was available the entire stay (although we never needed her because everything was so well done). Fantastic vacation home. I would DEFINITELY rent again.

We couldn't have asked for anything more for our stay at the Starfish cottage. Not only was the cottage beautifully decorated and welcoming; it had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was also great! The cottage is on a dead end quiet street and within close proximity to multiple restaurants/shops. Was also only 10 minutes away from the beach! Victoria and Aruna were very responsive and made sure that we had everything that we needed for our stay. We hope to return in the near future!

This is a lovely Little cottage tucked into the end of a dead-end street. My daughter said, it was the perfectLocation from which to explore all of Cape Cod. We walked to beach, ice cream shop, restaurants. The house came with lots of extras we didnt even think about—beach chairs, bikes, hammock, extra beach towels. The cottage is perfectly compact and can host quite a few people. There are neighbors on the property, who were not bothersome, but were very close. The owner and her partner were very responsive and helpful before/during/after. Would 100% stay again.
Properly was very clean, supplied with everything we needed. Welcoming for dogs, no reissued from previous pets. Communication was excellent. Loved the welcoming touches of lights, chocolates, books and games. Thank you

Loved the layout of the cottage. It’s perfect for experiencing family togetherness.
We really enjoyed staying at Starfish. The cottage was cute and the decor was perfectly themed. The location was amazing and the host provided us with a comprehensive list of things to do in the area.

Our family stayed the week in this beautiful cottage. Everything was as advertised, and there were even lots of extra conveniences (lotion, toiletries, utensils in the kitchen, beach towels, sweatshirts, etc). Great location, super clean, excellent and thoughtful hosts. We found a gem for sure.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us again Devon! You are always a wonderful guest. :-)
We had a fantastic stay - everything was great, from easy check-in, communication, cleanliness, to being as-described and a great layout for our group of 4 adults and 3 kids. The backyard space was a family favorite place to gather and enjoy time together at the large picnic table and fire pit area. It was also wonderful to have such great air conditioning during a hot week and we enjoyed the availability of having the bikes to use. Overall an excellent place!

About the host
Hosted by Aruna McDermott
We purchased these properties (House & cottage) in 2008 and have renovated them over the years. Every year we do a new improvement. We use the cottages ourselves so you know they are well loved and cared for. We love the cottages and area and know you will too!
Why they chose this property
The house and cottage are a short 1/2 mile from both the ocean beach and the village of Dennisport. They are both decorated in a Cape Cod style that we think you'll love. Put your feet up, read a book in the hammock, sit outside under the twinkle lights in the tree or stroll to Sundae School for the worlds best ice-cream sundae!
What makes this property unique
If your party is larger, you can rent both the 3BR/1.5BTH house and the 1BR/1BTH cottage next door.
