Amazing property! Great location - able to walk to restaurants and very close to beaches. We loved that it was on a quiet street and we were able to bring our dog. House was also stocked with a ton of amenities and very much felt like we were right at home!

Wonderful getaway!

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.

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!

Just perfect for our family

The space is cute with the upstairs loft just right for our teen sisters (stairs would be too steep for older adults). Very well stocked kitchen. Both indoor and outdoor showers which was welcome after our beach days. And convenient to beaches, restaurants and markets.

We had a blast at Starfish cottage! Two couples and two kids (ages 9 & 12) who absolutely loved sleeping upstairs in the loft. This place is fully stocked for all your beach vacation needs. Everything comes as advertised and the location is walking distance to anything youā€™d need in Dennis Port. The outdoor shower make for a stellar touch as well.

Beautiful cottage with everything you could need!

I visited Starfish Cottage with my daughter, who has severe disabilities, and our golden retriever. The cottage was amazingly comfortable. Everything inside appeared new, including the very comfortable mattresses and the large, luxury washer dryer. There were lovely touches everywhere I looked, like little twinkly lights adorning the fireplace. I would definitely recommend a relaxing stay at Starfish Cottage!

About the host

Hosted by Aruna McDermott

Host profile image
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.
