Bliss By The Bay
South Dennis Vacation Rental - ID 35734

Even in the Winter, Bliss By the Bay - is perfectly named! Such a delightful place to stay while we enjoyed time creating memories with our family for the holidays. The house is lovely and we didn't want for anything during our stay. Grace and Brian have purposefully thought of everything for their guests and couldn't have been more accommodating. So special! We are already planning our return for next year.

My family recently stayed at Grace and Brian's "Bliss By The Bay". The location is located in a quiet, charming neighborhood near a picturesque pond. The cottage is located a few minutes drive from some the most beautiful beaches on the Cape and close to many stores and restaurants. The house is well appointed and beautifully decorated. The yard is an oasis perfect for grilling outside and making a bonfire. Grace has thought of everything that a family may need while on vacation, including those with small children. I cannot recommend her home enough for your next getaway!

We booked Bliss by the Bay last September and had been counting down the days! We stayed Aug 17-23rd. We immediately felt at home; and what a beautiful flip of a home! You can tell everything is brand new. There were a handful of things that stood out to us:
Kitchen items well stocked (such as a mini crockpot- which we used 4x!)
Outdoor shower - so spacious and practically brand new!
Outdoor space; this area clearly took a lot of work and I'm sure had a high price tag- but it's so worth it! No need to worry about splinters with Trex deck, a beautiful fire pit and the most comfortable patio set! Not to mention the full irrigation system and beautifully maintained grass and fully fenced in yard. Wonderful for kids!
The "extra" room on the side of the house. We loved this room! It was just so cozy, and my youngest claimed it as his room!
We appreciated the regular beds over bunks - all beds were so comfortable, and each room came equip with a sound machine nightlight!
All the beach items! Toys, chairs, tables, umbrella.
The welcome notes; laminated and had everything you needed. Plus reminders on what to do at checkout. So helpful!
A few things that would be lovely additions in future years:
outdoor hanging lights
A few fishing poles
Knowing the time of day irrigation runs - just incase you leave anything out in the yard!

Grace was a five star communicator from the beginning. She went above and beyond with sending us a full walk around of the cottage so my son could watch these beforehand and get more familiar with the space. This was so helpful! She also responded to texts so quickly when we had a few random questions while at the cottage.

It clearly shows how much they not only love cape cod, but how much pride they take in being hosts and making sure you have a wonderful vacation.

Highly recommend if you can snag one of the very few weeks left as it was clear from the guestbook it's mostly repeat vacationers year after year!

What an amazing vacation! Our stay at Bliss by the Bay was great! Beautiful home, super clean and well appointed (Grace thinks of everything!). It's so convenient to travel all parts of the Cape yet perfect to stay back, paddle boarding or playing hoops. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will "sea" you next year!

Bliss by the bay is a wonderful place to stay. The house is clean and well stocked and located so close to activities like golf, biking, shopping, restaurants. The back yard is a great place to hang out and enjoy meals. It is very private and the outdoor shower is great.

We came for Memorial Day weekend and this home could not have been more perfect for us. There were 3 adults and 2 kids and we had plenty of space inside and outside. Every little thing was thought of in this rental plus more, games for kids, everything you could need in the kitchen to extra toiletries if you forgot something. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed the perfect back yard every night and used the fire pit. Grace and Brian were so easy to work with and super responsive. We will definitely be back!

Our stay on the Cape was absolutely delightful! The house provided a perfect blend of comfort and charm, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The amenities were fantastic, and everything was well-maintained and clean. We especially loved the outdoor shower and fenced in backyard. The location was convenient for exploring the area, and we enjoyed the nearby beaches, recreational park, and local dining options. Overall, it was a memorable vacation, and we can't wait to return!"

We were delighted with our stay - Grace and Brian's place is welcoming, super comfortable, and *immaculate*. Having rented on the Cape for 20+ years, my wife and I found this rental to be among the very best. Grace and Brian have thought of everything, and are great hosts. Top scores, highest recommendation.

We have stayed in many, many homes on the Cape before, but we have finally found "the one". This house was perfect - plenty of space, comfortable back yard and all the furnishings we could have needed for my family of 3 to spend quality time together. Everything was so clean and well cared for. The decor was so nicely done. The location was perfect in a quiet neighborhood, but just around the corner from the main road. We were easily able to cook multiple meals in the kitchen, which had everything we needed supply wise. They have thought of everything in their home from providing the simple things like toiletries to a vacuum and broom to keep the home tidy while staying there with children. Communicating with the owner was very pleasant and easy. They have an absolute gem of a cottage and we can't wait to go back!

The property was exactly as pictured. Beautifully decorated, immaculately kept, paying close attention to every detail. The home is centrally located, which made it easy to visit all areas of the Cape. Traveling north, south, east and west, was so easy. Even though we only had a few days, we were able to visit all the areas we wanted. Coming home to the outdoor space was truly relaxing. We are all in agreement when I say that we will be coming back. Thank you Grace and Bruce for a memorable trip. Fishing Trip 2023 is in the books!! (And No...we don't fish : )

The house is immaculate and has everything that you could possibly need. It has been completed updated with new furniture, appliances and 4 large screen TVs. Grace and Brian have paid attention to every detail. The cottage is so cozy and the backyard is a wonderful place to relax with a great fire pit and perfect patio area. We loved the large outdoor shower! It's in a great location in a quiet neighborhood near beautiful beaches. We loved Mayflower Beach. Would highly recommend and we are already booking for next year. Thank you so much Grace and Brian

Bliss by the Bay was perfect for our family's visit to the Cape. The cottage is immaculate, and we were especially grateful for the on-site pack 'n play and mattress, which the homeowners purchased just days before our arrival to ensure the comfort of our youngest son. Our older two boys loved the nearby access to the water and using the outdoor shower when returning from the beach each day. We would love to return! Thank you.

We had an absolute wonderful time staying at Bliss By the Bay. The home was in a great location for venturing around the Cape and the house was an ideal vacation getaway. The inside was clean and had very thoughtful beach decor. The size of the rooms were perfect for my family of 4. The outside backyard was a relaxing place to have dinner outside and let the kids play! The owners have truly taken the time to make this place special. Would highly recommend!

Just finished a week at "Bliss by the Bay." It is a gem. Meticulously clean with every detail thought of. Location is great, easy to get to beaches and restaurants. Such a pleasure to come back every summer! Grace is so thoughtful and receptive!

The house is perfectly located to all major routes for easy access to anywhere on the cape. The house has been updated with a new outdoor entertainment space that adds great additional space for guests. We enjoyed our morning coffee relaxing outside before heading to the beach.

The neighborhood is quaint and quiet. Kids loved the ability to walk down to the water.

Definitely awaiting our next return! Grace is a quick text away for any questions and responds almost immediately.

We had another amazing stay at Bliss by the Bay. From the beautiful interior to the amazing patio and outdoor shower, the house has exceeded our expectations and we already can't wait to come back. Thank you Grace and Brian for your responsiveness and hospitality!

We could not have been more pleased with Bliss By the Bay cottage! This location is ideal and central to just about everything on the Cape. The house was fully stocked with all essentials, beyond clean and spacious enough for our family of 7 (kids age. 23, 19, 8 & 3). The outdoor shower, back yard fire pit and patio were amazing with plenty of seating for everyone. They had all beach necessities as well for use and really made everything for our stay so easy. Thank you Grace and Brian for allowing us a week of bliss in your cottage. When we come back to the cape we certainly will be reaching out to stay again!

We absolutely loved this vacation home! It had everything we could have possibly needed! We loved the decor. The home was immaculate. The mattresses were so comfortable! The house is close to many fun attractions. Grace was always available if we had any questions or needed anything. We definitely would love to come back in the future!

Had a wonderful stay at Bliss by the Bay. Great location. Home was beautiful and immaculate. We enjoyed sitting out on the back deck and grilling. Loved the fire pit, cooked up some smores with our grandbaby. Outside shower was nice and big. Close to the best beaches on the Cape, beautiful Mayflower and Chapin Beach. Also had a great meal at Gina's by the Sea and stopped for some cocktails at Chapins. Grace was super nice and always responded when I had any questions. Definitely will be back!!

We loved the house! It was perfect and had everything you would need. It was very cozy and relaxing. We really enjoyed the outdoor deck and fire pit. The neighborhood was nice and quiet as well.
The beds were super comfortable with tv's in every room. The owners thought of all the little things that you will need during your stay.
The location was really comvenient.
In the mornings we walked to the red sparrow for breakfast and evenings watched sunsets at mayflower beach. We can't wait to come back again!

This is our second visit to Bliss by the Bay, and our hope is to return. The house is truly a "home away from home", with everything to make our stay extremely comfortable. The home is as pictured, and immaculate. We enjoyed walks in the nearby park, walkways, and beaches; we enjoyed several bike rides on the Cape Cod rail trail; we enjoyed a few of the nearby restaurants. We did not bring a full set of golf clubs, but we're able to visit a nearby driving range. During this visit, the weather cooperated early in our stay and we were able to enjoy the beautiful backyard and deck area. Although there were only two of us, the bedrooms could sleep 5 with additional sleeping space in another room (unheated and uncooled). The kitchen was fully stoked and appliances were new, there was a full size washer/dryer, and the bathroom had plenty of storage space for cosmetics. There were televisions in every room (which we did not turn on), so we took full advantage of the excellent lighting for reading.

Finally, any questions were promptly answered by Grace via text.

Immaculately clean, cozy with everything you could possibly need or want. Positively fell in love with this property, the neighborhood and surrounding area - our stay was simply perfect! From the moment we walked in, we felt pampered and relaxed. Grace and Brian put so much thought and detail into our stay; the house was stocked with everything! Such gracious and informative hosts - so many great places to visit as well, WE CANNOT WAIT TO RETURN!

What a gem! Literally fell in love with this home from the moment I opened the front door! It is immaculately clean, everything is brand new. Simply wonderful. Wonder if Grace is an interior designer on the side!?! So tastefully decorated. What a surprise when you step outside to the patio with beautiful chairs, table and sitting areas. And, the outside shower….my goodness. Although we didn't get to use it, we were all in awe! Unfortunately it was too windy to use the fire pit…but what a plus. Fantastic location … easy ride to Rte. 6A or 28. The home is pristine…seriously!!! You will not be disappointed!

Grace and Brian were an absolute pleasure to rent from, ensuring we had a perfect stay. The house is bright and clean, and very comfortable. We would recommend to anyone looking to rent!

Wonderful!
5/5 Stayed Oct 2022

Grace and Brian have created a wonderful space to enjoy all that the Cape has to offer. The house is immaculate and as presented in photos. Although it was just the two of us, the house comfortably sleeps seven.

There is a sitting and dining area outside, but this was something we did not use because of the time of year.

The house is close to a recreational area and a walking/bike path. It is also within a short driving distance to restaurants and beautiful beaches.

We especially appreciated the quiet neighborhood, full size washer and dryer, good light for reading, a bathroom vanity that stored all cosmetics in the drawers, and new appliances.

We would not hesitate to recommend this home to others.

Our Cape Cod escape
5/5
Stayed Oct 2022

We had a wonderful Columbus Day escape in this charming, thoughtfully decorated, clean, comfortable house.

Everything we needed – and more! An ease walk to the beach to watch sunset. We enjoyed the hiking trails, fall festivities , seafood (fresh!), fresh cranberries !

The owners have thought of everything we might need and provided detailed and helpful instructions.

We were delighted with all aspects of this adorable Cape cottage! The open cooking/dining/living space made it feel very spacious, and the owners thought of everything anyone could need for their family vacation (games closet, storage space, fire pit, ample outdoor area, smart tvs laundry, cleaning supplies, etc.) I really appreciated the cleanliness and updated decor of this rental home, and I think families will enjoy that the Dennis Recreation Complex is so close by! There are tennis and basketball courts, a fitness/walking trail, playground equipment, softball fields, etc. Grace is very pleasant to communicate with and checked in before and after the trip to make sure all went well. We can't wait to return to Bliss By The Bay! :)

From the moment we walked into Bliss by the Bay we felt at home. The warm, inviting, modern decor felt like an upscale resort in a private, beachside setting. Bliss by the Bay was spotless and provided everything our family needed for the week. The open concept kitchen and living room gave space for our family to prepare meals and play board games in the evenings. The spacious bedrooms and outdoor deck and yard allowed for the children to spread out throughout the home and enjoy indoor/outdoor living. Grace was amazing to work with throughout the process! We can't wait to go back to Bliss By the Bay next summer!

Bliss by the Bay was absolutely perfect for our family! Everything is newly updated and clean… the home had everything we needed and more. The beds were comfortable, the outdoor patio was great and you can't beat the outdoor shower. We also loved having a tv in each bedroom… everyone was happy! Grace was so helpful, kind and extremely responsive. We can't wait to go back!

Enjoyed our time at Bliss by the Bay. Perfect location, near shopping, beaches and highway. Easy access to all cape routes. The house fit our family of 4 perfectly. The outside shower was amazing, when you came back from the beach.

We will definitely be back to rent again. House has all amenities of your own home. Grace provided all details upfront and was great to work with!

Just got home after a week stay at "Bliss by the Bay." Everything was just as advertised, house was spotless, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Grace thought of everything and anything you could possibly need. Texts were answered immediately with any questions. Can't say enough about this property, we will be back!

Great little cottage. Fully renovated. Everything you need. Plenty of space for family of 5 - including 3 young adults. Grace was super easy to work with and very responsive. Will rent again. Highly recommend.

We just finished our 1 week stay and LOVED the house! It's clean, wonderfully decorated, and super comfortable. We had 3 adults and 2 kids under 7 and had plenty of space to play and relax.

The hosts have really paid attention to detail- the kitchen had all of the gadgets and cookware you could need. There was a game closet, 2 cozy backyard seating areas and top of the line appliances. The outdoor shower was wonderful and could fit an entire family! Washer/dryer and dishwasher made for easy clean up too. Smart TVs in each room made it convenient to jump right into shows we watch at home.

The location is great- walking distance to a shaded playground with tennis and basketball courts as well. We walked to Kelley's pond several times and even did some fishing there. This house is a gem and we'll be back next summer for sure!
