East Dennis Antique Cape Cottage, Walk to Bay Beach
East Dennis Vacation Rental - ID 25562

We absolutely loved our week in this cozy cottage. It is a tough thing to find a rental house that is well-equipped, homey, in a fantastic location, and doesn't "feel like a rental", and this house checked all the boxes. The house is beautiful, absolutely charming, and had so many unique qualities that could only be found in a home with this much history. The kids loved the fun upstairs bedrooms and we ended up staying home and grilling most nights because the yard was spectacular! The neighborhood is picturesque and it was so convenient to only be a quick 10-minute (flat and easy) walk to the beach, where we spent most days (the walk to Sea Street beach was a tad better than Cold Storage in our opinion, since the road was so quiet and pretty straight, but both are super close). The homeowner was great to deal with leading up to our arrival, and quick to respond with any questions during our stay. So great to have sheets and towels there so we didn't have to bring them. Overall, a wonderful week!

Our family of six and one toddler truly enjoyed our stay in the lovely Quivet Neck area in Dennis. The home exudes historical charm but with all the modern conveniences.(including new mattresses that were very comfortable ). The kitchen had everything we needed for special meals or the perfect barbecue. We appreciated the large flat backyard where we had memorable dinners, played family games, and toasted s'mores around the fire pit. The blossoming hydrangeas were the icing on the cake! It was about a 1/3 mile walk to either Sea Street Beach or Cold Storage Beach where low tide allowed for plenty of beach activities and the landscape for outstanding sunsets. It was less than 2 miles to the historic Cape Playhouse, and our favorite restaurants, including Encore,Sesuit Harbor Cafe, Grumpy's and Smuggler's Ice Cream. Learning the historical significance tied to this house made our vacation extra special ! The homeowner, Dave, was very responsive and easy to deal with. We are hoping to return next year!

Highly recommend this lovely home with plenty of living space for a group to spread out and relax, and cannot say enough about spectacular spacious yard....truly breathtaking outdoor space. Easy walk to Dennis northside beaches and a high end, quiet neighborhood. Newer kitchen, tastefully decorated home with plenty of linens/dishes/beach chairs and toys...just wish our stay was longer! Owner super responsive and helpful.

The weather was fantastic and the location was ideal. Your home is incredibly charming, the outdoor setting is so very peaceful and relaxing, this is where we spent most of our time. The inside is lovely as well, simple and functional allowing the historical elements to shine through.

Thank you again so much for a lovely stay! I think you may have one of the very best locations in Quivet Neck. We loved the quiet and peacefulness of your property – and delighted in seeing the resident bunnies and squirrels bounding about. Your outdoor dining area reminded us of rural France, and we were happy to have a few sunny mornings and evenings to dine there. I hope we have a chance to return to the Cape soon!

We had a great vacation! The house is amazing the yard was great for playing with my grandchildren. The weather couldn't have been more perfect! Having sheets and towels there made it even better! You are a great host, very easy to communicate with. Thanks for a perfect experience.

The home and area was perfect for our family of 5 including 3 kids. There was plenty of room and had all the necessities we needed for our weeks stay. Our kids really enjoyed the large yard and space to play after being at the beach all day. Dave was a great host and gave great suggestions for activities. A classic charming Cape cottage that we would definitely stay in again.

Lovely, quintessential cape cod cottage. Outstanding back yard. Updated kitchen with everything you would need. Wonderful, quiet neighborhood great for walks. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This beautiful property exceeded our expectations....charming antique with all the amenities and surroundings needed to fully enjoy our week: a quiet, pretty street, updated furnishings, a large landscaped yard in which to relax or play lawn games, and a short walk to pristine nearby beaches. We highly recommend this lovely property.

If you're looking to experience the charm and peace and quiet of East Dennis, and Quivet Neck in particular, look no further. Terrific location, walkable to Cold Storage and Sea Street beaches as well as the East side of Sesuit Harbor (the Cafe is on the West side though) and a short drive to the restaurants and shops of Dennis Village (or Brewster in the opposite direction). The charming antique house is well stocked, comfortable, and has enough space inside and out (great yard) for everyone to enjoy. Dave, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with (and always very responsive) and we had no issues during our stay. Having only one bathroom was rarely if ever an issue for us. The stairs to the second floor are steep and have a low overhang at the bottom (it's a house from the 1700s after all!), but our kids got the hang of it and it wasn't an issue. We would definitely consider renting this house again.

Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful home! My family of 5 stayed during Columbus Day weekend. The house had more than enough space and offers the perfect combination of Cape charm with all the updates and amenities that you could need. It is the absolute perfect location! It is just a short walk to Cold Storage Beach, our family's favorite and one of the best on the Cape!
The property is truly amazing, set on a peaceful and secluded lot that has outdoor living with a fire pit and a great yard for the kids to enjoy after a long day at the beach.

The communication with the owners was terrific and we honestly couldn't have asked for anything more from a Cape rental.

We've been renting on the Cape for more than 10 years and without a doubt, this is the best house that we have stayed in! My kids were sad to leave and immediately asked when we can go back! We just wish we had found this property years ago.

Thanks again for sharing! ~ The Dunn Family

We had a fantastic week at this home last summer and were not the slightest bit disappointed like we have been with other Cape rentals. The land is beautiful and the house has the charm of a Cape antique while still offering all the updates that we require. The owners were great with communication too but once our week began we didn't need to call them once. Our only complaint was that we didn't book it for both weeks when we had the chance. The following week booked within days from a past renter who actually preferred our week. I am returning this year too.... worth every penny!

Charming & private and walk to beach

This was our second summer staying at this wonderful property in Quivet Neck. Fully updated and incredibly charming antique home that is squeaky clean with everything you could possibly need while vacationing at the home or beach. Best part is the peace and privacy but so close to the beach. Perfect week !!

Amazing house with all the Cape Cod charm

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property, made our family vacation a memorable one. All what you would expect from a Cape Cod property + the wonderful advantages of the private backyard and close walk to beach. Loved the history of the area and the house. Very attentive owners and property was clean throughout. Would definitely return and recommend.

I love it when the photos accurately portray the house without any surprises. This home has everything needed for a great beach vacation week down the cape. Walk to Sea St Beach and Sesuit Harbor Cafe while still being off the main road which is pretty unusual for an antique that comes with as much charm as this house. A/C in every part if the house keeps it cool even during 90 degree days like we had. The yard is expansive for the kids to run and play volleyball, etc. lots of back up parking on the front side for local friends to enjoy before walking to the one if the Capes most beautiful beaches (Sea St) where the shallow calm waters give the kids plenty of safe play to enjoy. It's just a great home with decor and renovations you just don't often find in a beach house. Compared to other homes in this price range it is a far better value than anywhere I have stayed in the past. Best of all...the owners are awesome. So responsive and just really great people to deal with. Felt very easy every step of the way....again, felt too good to be true!

Such a great house in a great area of the cape!!! We will be making this our annual tradition for years to come.

We stayed at 27 North St home with my family for the 2016 Memorial Day weekend. This isn't the first house that we've stayed at in the Cape. We loved the old features such as the doors, door handles, the old construction methods using timber beams with pins and tenon joints (second floor roof framing is exposed nicely) and other original qualities of a house that is over 200 years old.

We have stayed in older homes in the past but not with this many older, but still in great condition, charming attributes.The beach is very close. We visited Sea Street Beach at sunset and were pleasantly surprised with the scenery. One of the better beaches on the Cape, in my opinion. We loved the neighborhood. Safe and very quiet. Didn't have enough time to check out East Dennis but hope to do it in the near future.

The house is very clean and comfortable. Plenty of beds including a sofa bed at the rear porch area. I noticed it has new beds, bed sheets, towels, dishes, cups, etc. Not very common for an owner to let us use these items.The house is newly painted including the floors. The house is also very nicely decorated. The living room has plenty of sitting space. The kitchen had everything we needed: toaster, coffee maker, plates, all the usual kitchen basics. Extra large master bed room. The bathroom was clean with a large shower area. Covered outdoor shower to wash off the sea salt is a great plus when you have kids. The backyard area is huge and flat. Great for an afternoon barbecue, the kids can play while the food is be prepared and then everyone can sit around the outdoor table and chairs provided. There is a clothes line set up in sunny spot where I towels dried within hours.

Overall we had a great experience and looking forward to getting back

?We absolutely loved our stay. Perfect spot, very peaceful and relaxing. I am definitely interested in a week next summer. Keep me in mind please.
Thx Chris

Thank you for sharing your wonderful home. We enjoyed the history of this home and did an internet search on the years of history of the original owner and the area. The weather was beautiful. The area of the cape is amazing and your home is so very comfortable and welcoming. We look forward to coming back!
