Great Yarmouth Port House

We had a wonderful stay at Dennis’s Yarmouth Port house. It is clean, spacious, and super for families. We especially enjoyed soaking in the hot tub, both in the morning and the end of a long day. We also took advantage of the Weber grill to make some great BBQ meals. Dennis was friendly and quickly responded to my texts. My only small critique is that I wish they offered a bigger washer and dryer.

Cape stay

Dennis was easy to communicate with and always quick to respond to any questions. The house was exactly as seen, the kitchen well stocked. There were even some necessary cooking supplies as well! The hot tub was a nice addition after a long day.

Wonderful house for our big Thanksgiving crew

We stayed over Thanksgiving and yes, we cooked the whole thing there. The kitchen is pretty well-equipped (we brought some stuff like sharp knifes, but the rest was all there). Arrival as a snap, and Dennis always responded quickly in a few cases I had questions. We brought our own linens -- would have been nice if there were a few little things like soap, shampoo or a hand-towel, but overall no biggie. The house is on a residential street near Rt 6 -- a nice yard and lots of nice accoutrements outside ... which we mostly didn't use since it was so cold. The hot tub would have been nice, but it's closed after October I guess. Inside is spacious, and our teen kids and their guests spent most of the nights downstairs in the great basement. I am sure the clinking sounds they made on their way upstairs were teacups because teens never sneak alcohol in anywhere, do they? Haha -- out of sight worked for us, and also gave us peace in the evening, then in morning as they all had hangovers. Too much tea. So it's a really functional house, and well-maintained. Actually kind of impressive as it's got the total 1950's vibe, but the shower was sparkling and freshly grouted, all the appliances worked well, and the place was clean and in working order. Great place to hang out, especially in warmer weather.

Great Mid Cape Location

Clean cape home in a great location-near the bike path/bay side beaches, a quick ride to Hyannis or Chatham to shop. Nearby conveniences-great Pizza at Pizza by Evans and Peterson's Market for anything you might need. The house had everything to enjoy a family vacation-well stocked kitchen, great deck and outdoor shower and a bonus jacuzzi-yard space for our pups to enjoy too!

Great house, great location

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this house. It's in a great location, was very clean and Dennis was a great communicator, checking in by text to see if we needed anything and making sure everything was to our liking. Downstairs is an added bonus if you have kids....washer dryer was a bonus. We hope to return next year, thank you Dennis!

Felt like home!!

Great location to Corporation and Grays Beach - must do sunset at both locations! The house was equipped with everything including toilet paper, paper towels - and cleaning supplies! Only had to supply linen & towels. Convenience of washer/dryer was great! Lots of room for 6 adults and 3 kids - it has a great family room downstairs for games and the hot tub was a fun extra! We cooked breakfast & dinner! You can’t go wrong with property - we had a great first experience!

Me and my friends had a lot of fun at the house! Everything was clean! The kitchen had everything we needed. We did barbecue on the porch and enjoy the hot tub. The property is near the beach.

Nice weekend retreat for big groups

A group of 10 of us stayed at this property for the weekend and had a great time! The property manager was also quick to reply to any questions and easy to reach. The location was excellent, close to the beach (10 min drive) and be sure to check out the restaurant Captain Frosties nearby! Grocery store was also 3 min drive, very convenient. Overall, the property is nice, supplied with kitchenware. It was a bit of hassle to bring our own linens/pillow cases/towels, but wasn't a huge issue. Only other minor complaints was that the hot tub was a bit dirty on the sides of it, and the basement level was a little musty smelling. Overall, we had a fun stay here in Yarmouth!

Lovely house in a wonderful area

Dennis was very easy to communicate with. Check in was very easy. Note that linen & towels are not included (I'm not sure if this is usual in the US) but Dennis provided contacts for getting this delivered so it was quite easy to solve. We were disappointed that the hot tub was not clean and the washing machine did not work meaning we had to go to the coin laundry. The house is well situated for exploring the Cape.

Prompt response from owner but house needs TLC

We stayed in this vacation rental for 14 nights. It was very convenient to beaches and attractions on the cape. The house itself had some issues with the plumbing which was addressed. The hot tub was used once but it seemed to need some attention. The mattress in master bedroom desperately needs to be replaced. The coils are sprung and it’s extremely loud every time you turn over in bed. The basement had a musty smell. The dehumidifier had to be emptied every 12 hours at least to keep all the moisture under control. Dennis returned my text messages but don’t think I would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Dennis & Betty Anne Catalano

We are a small family from Connecticut that has spent many vacations on Cape Cod over the years. After some years we purchased a Vacation home for ourselves to use with our friends and family. We have enjoyed the relaxing shores and paths for many years now and plan on doing more of the same for years to come.
We welcome all families and friends and their pets to use our home for their next vacation getaway.

Why they chose this property

House is located in the back of a small neighborhood on a private dead end. It's close to markets, restaurants and small shops on the Bay side and most importantly mid Cape. Less than 10 minutes to Dennis and Yarmouth Port beaches and ponds and parks. Right off 6A and near the Cape bike trail. A great neighborhood for walking or biking. Hot Tub open mid March thru October.

What makes this property unique

Great mid Cape vacation home. Walking trails nearby. Beaches nearby, Private home located on dead end in small neighborhood with lots to offer families & friends & pets.
We welcome children with lots to do and we are pet friendly too. Take a relaxing time in the hot tub. Take a well deserved 3 night getaway for a special price of $375/night off season.
