Location & house overview
We'd love to host your at our family owned and operated cape retreat.
Our cape cottage is located in Dennis Port, tucked away from route 28 on a neighborhood side street. The house is 7 minutes walking to downtown Dennis Port, where you'll find great ice cream, breakfast, groceries, a package store, pizza, and more. Leave the car in the driveway and walk to get a coffee in the morning or ice cream after a beach day!
Our home is located centrally to many beach options - you'll find great beaches in both directions as close as a mile away (a quick bike ride!). Our location is a great hub to try the 16 different beaches Dennis has to offer with a weekly beach pass. Dennis is known for having some of the most beautiful beaches on the cape - you can visit a different one each day!
Pack light - the house comes fully equipped for family beach days with beach chairs, beach umbrellas, coolers of various sizes, and beach caddies to transport everything on the sand that we provide for your use. Our storage shed is also full of bikes (adult and child sizes), and yard games for kids to enjoy while playing in the yard. There is also an outdoor shower with hot water.
The house is Mid-cape, centrally located to visit many of the other beautiful quaint Cape Cod towns all within a short drive. This includes ferries to Martha’s Vineyard in nearby Hyannis (10 miles from the house) or the ferry to Nantucket (5 miles from the house)
About the house
The house is updated with modern amenities, while maintaining the home’s original cape charm. Enjoy central AC, fast wifi, flat screen TVs, full cable. You can access your own Netflix account or other streaming service on our smart TV or browse the on-demand cable selection. We also have a large DVD collection to enjoy an old-school movie night in our movie theater (on-demand movies and cable are also available). There is parking behind the home in the private driveway for 2 cars.
Enjoy the provided selection of coffees and teas by the bay window drenched in the morning sun or head outside to the two rockers on the front porch to plan your day. The house comes fully equipped with all linens provided, toilet paper, paper towels, and a fully stocked kitchen. The kitchen has all you’d need to prepare a meal for the family or pack lunch for the beach. There is a brand new washer and dryer in the closet of the twin bedroom with provided detergent. Beach towels for the whole family are also provided.
Outside you’ll find a grill and several lounging and eating areas throughout the yard. The backyard is private, surrounded by 50ft pine trees, a perfect place to make smores around the fire pit after dinner or enjoy a glass of wine.
As of 2026, we've added a new front patio off of the kitchen to enjoy meals or have a coffee on our couch in the sun. This patio gets great morning light and shade all afternoon - a great place to hang outside for indoor/outdoor living.

The second bedroom is a bright and cozy room with two individual beds. All linens are provided, you’ll arrive to freshly made beds with clean sheets and cozy blankets.

We had a sister's winter getaway trip to Kate's wonderful home on the Cape. The place was immaculate, beautifully decorated, the kitchen was perfect and the home theater was so fun. Kate is a great host and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend a stay here.
Kate was a wonderful host and very responsive to my questions and messages. The house was nicely appointed and had everything we needed for our three day stay.
We had a great stay! The house is well stocked & it’s a great location. Our host was very responsive & accommodating! We would definitely recommend this house to anyone visiting in the future!
My friends and I had a great stay at the Sweet Retreat! The house was a cute, cozy, and spacious beach house. Enjoyed some grilling in the backyard. Location was perfect. Less than a 10 minute bike to the beach and a quick drive to the Sandbar. Thank you so much Kate!
This is a 10/10 for sure. The house is so well kept and has a lot of unique elements to it - not to mention a nice theater in the basement. One of the best VRBOs I have ever stayed in. You can even walk to grab dinner or ice cream too. If you have a chance to stay here grab this house the minute it is open.
Stay was exactly what we were looking for in a quiet girls weekend away. Property Manager was super responsive with all questions and even late night needs. Highly recommended.
We had a lovely stay. Did not use the lower level (stairs are quite steep for women "of a certain age") but the house is charming. Owner was very responsive and easy to work with. The pull-out sofa was comfortable too.
My family truly enjoyed our stay! Everything was clean and ready! Supplies for beach and bikes were available. Even the grill cooked food to perfection. Perfect week!

Thanks so much Emily, we'd love to have you back anytime!
Kate’s place was wonderful! She has thought of everything a guest could need to make you feel right at home. Sweet retreat is the quintessential cape cod cottage with everything to make a stay enjoyable. We spent Memorial Day weekend and the location is perfect mid cape to easily access all locations on the cape. The home is spotless, beds are comfortable, and communication with Kate was seamless. We would love to stay again next time we visit the Caoe.
We had a great time on the cape. Our boys loved the theater room and the host was so quick to respond with any questions. We loved using the bikes and accessing the rail trail. I grew up going to the cape to see my grandparents and loved showing my kids the area. I hope to return again!
It was the perfect home for our recent Sibs Weekend trip. Everything was provided. There was so much space, and each room was so quaint. The owner was above and beyond accommodating. We definitely want to return.
Plenty of communication on check in time and offered local suggestions. The home was clean and well equipped. Plenty of beach chairs,spacious backyard with a fire pit we used nightly & a gas grill. Our time was quick but we enjoyed the house.
