Destination guide

Two sides to Dennis' Cape Cod

Expect a real choice of style and budget when it comes to Dennis vacation rentals. You could say that the story of Dennis is a tale of 2 coasts and 5 villages. Tour the north-facing side of this Cape Cod town and you'll be spoilt by quaint restaurants, cobbled stone towers, storied restaurants, and historic playhouses. The south coast is home to some fabulous sandy beaches. This area is more about the fun than the theater, and more mini golf than exclusive club houses. But whichever way you face, the swell of the Atlantic is never far away.

Things to do

Cultural appeal in Dennis

Squeezing a little culture into your stay in a Dennis vacation rental shouldn't prove too tricky. With intriguing spots such as Scargo Tower and the 1801 Jericho Historical Center, the town's historic district is a great place to start. A trip to the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History and the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum rounds off a culture fix nicely, although those hungry for more can check out exhibitions at the Cape Cod Museum of Art. Catching a movie at the historic Cape Cinema, set right beside the museum, is a lovely way to round off the day.

Activities

Dennis—twice the coast, twice the fun

With so much coast spreading both north and south, the call of the Atlantic is hard to ignore. Some of Dennis' beaches are full-on, curling with breaking surf. Others are sheltered delights; perfect for paddling with the kids. Swimming is best done in high summer, but sport angling brings its silvery rewards throughout the year. Golf is big here, with silky sanded dunes adding an extra challenge to your play. Families might prefer to spend the afternoon with a game of mini golf, or to go full throttle at a go-karting venue.

Weather

Blissful summers in Dennis

The best time to bag a rental in Cape Cod depends on what vacation means to you. If swimming and sunbathing are on the agenda for much of your getaway, the summer months of July and August provide the best conditions for outdoor play. Be aware, though, that many travelers will think similarly, so it pays to secure your ideal Dennis vacation rental in advance. If a quieter stay is more your style, opt instead for a shoulder season stay in May, June, September or October. Rental rates in December through April are at their lowest but temperatures dip also.

Natural features

Fabulous day trips from Dennis

Within a quick jaunt of the village, you'll find a number of natural highlights that are must-adds to your Dennis travel agenda. The pristine sandy beaches, lighthouses and wild cranberry bogs along the 40-mile Cape Cod National Seashore are easily accessible from Dennis rentals, while those looking for an adventure further afield may well find themselves sailing the open seas toward Martha's Vineyard. Here you can explore quaint hamlets, take a ride on Coney Island's historic Flying Horses Carousel or set off on a bike tour to enjoy the views of Elizabeth Island from the Aquinnah Cliffs.
