Tucked in the woods, yet walkable to Scargo Lake, local beaches & historic Dennis Village shops, bars & restaurants… Experience coastal living at its finest in this newly updated fisherman's cottage.
Situated in a prime location, this quintessential Cape cottage provides the perfect setting for a family getaway, a romantic escape, or a trip with friends. Modern amenities like central AC, renovated kitchen & bath, plus all new linen & furnishings, blend seamlessly with the antique charm of this 130 year old home.
Imagine starting your morning off with a cup of coffee on the sunny screened-in porch. Surrounded by trees and the sounds of nature, you can sit peacefully and watch bunnies hop through the grass or try to spot the majestic Osprey living in the tallest pine tree in the backyard.
After a leisurely morning, pack up your beach bags and head out for a day in the sun. Corporation and Howes Beach are just a 10-minute walk from the cottage, while Mayflower Beach - one of the most popular beaches on Cape Cod - is just a short 5-minute drive away. If you prefer fresh water, Scargo Lake - directly across the street - offers crystal-clear water, perfect for swimming, kayaking, or paddle boarding. With a ban on motorboats, the lake remains calm and serene, and it’s stocked with fish twice a year, making it a fisher’s paradise.
After a day in the sun, return home to your own little oasis. The cottage’s large yard is the perfect place to unwind. Rinse off the day in the luxurious outdoor shower, featuring a rain shower head. A quintessential Cape experience - showering under the trees, surrounded by nature.
If you feel like staying in, the large picnic table and outdoor grill offer the perfect opportunity for a backyard barbecue. As does the newly updated cottage kitchen. Small but mighty, the kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need to prepare a meal. From oil and spices to cutlery and Tupperware, you won’t have to waste time running to the store for “essentials” that short term rentals often lack.
While prepping dinner, open up the antique casement window that connects the kitchen to the screened-in porch. Unique and charming, it creates the perfect setting for pre-dinner cocktails. With barware, wine glasses, a martini shaker and more, your cocktail hour is guaranteed to feel like a special occasion. Speakers throughout the house let you easily connect and set the mood with your favorite music.
If you’re in the mood to venture out after dinner (or skip cooking all together) Dennis Village is just a short 10-minute walk away. This charming downtown offers a variety of restaurants, cute shops, and a historic playhouse, cinema and art museum. Creating the perfect setting for dinner and a show. Grab a scoop at the Cape Cod Creamery, catch an open-air concert in the town green or visit the weekly ‘Dennis Village Stroll,’ featuring live music, local vendors, and outdoor shopping. Whatever you're mood, this quaint downtown has so much to offer.
Cap your day off with a stunning Cape Cod sunset at Mayflower or Corporation Beach—both offering breathtaking views as the sun sets over the ocean.
If you're hoping to explore more of Cape Cod, Dennis is the perfect home base. You’re just a short drive from Chatham, Harwichport, Wellfleet, Provincetown, and more. Plus, ferries to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard are only a 15-minute drive away, making day trips to these islands easy and convenient.
