Location Information


We are the fortunate new owners of this lovely cape retreat, which was previously hosted by awesome former owners Melissa & Ed.

Our beach cottage is located in Dennis Port, tucked away from route 28 on a quiet side street. The cottage is located walking distance to Dennis Port’s downtown (7 min walk) where you’ll find great restaurants and pubs, convenience stores, breakfast, pizza, ice cream, and much more. Ditch the car and walk to dinner or to get ice cream after a long day at the beach! The cottage is a 5 minute drive or .7 miles down the road the cottage is on. There are beaches in both directions from the house and many to choose from. Enjoy 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!

The house comes fully equipped for family beach days with beach chairs, umbrella, coolers, and many more beach accessories that we provide for your use. You can pack light and use our storage shed full of beach accessories to load the car or the provided beach caddy to head to the beach!

The cottage is Mid-cape, meaning it’s centrally located to visit many of the other beautiful quaint Cape Cod towns all within a short drive from the cottage. This includes ferries to Martha’s Vineyard in nearby Hyannis (10 miles from the cottage) or the ferry to Nantucket (5 miles from the cottage)


The cottage - living space

The cottage is updated and decorated with modern amenities, while maintaining the cottage’s original cape charm. Enjoy AC, fast free wifi, flat screen TVs, cable with all the channels you can imagine, a DVD player with a collection of classic and recent movies for a rainy day or a family movie night. There is parking behind the home in the private driveway for 2+ cars.

Enjoy the provided selection of coffees and teas outside on the deck drenched in morning sun or enjoy some shade in the trees on a picnic table or chairs 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, including spices, a lobster pot, microwave, toaster, pots and pans, plastic bags, tin foil, and much more. There is a mini-washer/dryer in the closet of the larger bedroom with provided detergent and fabric softener. Beach towels for the whole family are also provided.

Outside you’ll find an outdoor grill and several lounging and eating areas throughout the yard. Relax below the 50 foot pine trees surrounding the backyard, tucked away from the street with your own private fenced yard. The backyard shed is filled with games for kids including horseshoes, baseball mitts, volleyball, badminton. Make smores while you relax around the fire pit after dinner or enjoy a glass of wine. There is also an outdoor shower with hot water!

We also provide 6+ bikes in both adult and kid sizes to check out the cape rail trail, bike to the beach, or explore the neighborhood.


Sleeping

The cottage is cozy and perfectly fits a small family. The primary bedroom has a queen sized bed. This cozy room has great AC, a flat screen tv, space to tuck away luggage, and a closet with the washer and dryer. The primary room connects to the sunny jack and jill full bathroom.

The second bedroom has two twins with tons of light. This space comfortably sleeps to kids or two adults. The second room also has AC, but no television.

All linens are provided, you’ll arrive to freshly made beds with clean sheets and cozy blankets.

Place is very small but cozy!! I feel that having 4 guests there would be pretty crowded. The large fenced in yard was great for our pup-loved just being able to run!!The location is close by to many restaurants and easy driving to the bay or ocean sides. Very quiet neighborhood.

The property was everything we couldve asked for, perfect location and the fully fenced in yard was amazing, any where we travel we always have our dog. This stay is perfect for vacationers who bring there fury family member along for the ride. The host was quick with responses and very helpful. The stocked beach supplies were perfect and made for great days by the ocean. I will absolutely stay here again for our next trip to the cape

Rooms were clean - my only complaint was the closets were filled with pillows and blankets leaving little space for us to hang clothes and the kitchen cabinets had no real order to them - random things were in each cabinet. Other than that the place was perfect as far as location was concerned. It was quiet, heat worked beautifully. Kitchen had everything that we needed - we really didnt do any cooking but breakfast. Cait was extremely responsive. We were told that we could get into the house at 2 but the cleaners did not finish until 3 - which really wasnt an issue for us. Cait gave us a gift certificate to a breakfast place since we were inconvenienced. We appreciated that !!

The cottage has great potential but it needs some serious attention. It is dirty and with that it, made it very difficult to feel clean. I understand that it is near the beach but I have stayed in a number of cottages that were clean. The floors were dirty upon arrival, the floor mats in the living room and bathroom are filthy, surfaces were sticky, etc.

Long Weekend On Cape Cod

I stayed here with my husband and teenage son for 4 nights, and we enjoyed it very much! This lovely cottage is exactly as pictured; super cute, clean, comfortable, and private! The many little, extra touches certainly add to its charm, and the bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept on. The location was great as we wanted to be centrally located to explore all of the cape during our few days here. The owner was very responsive, and we had great communication through the booking and check in/out processes. I would highly recommend Cape Escape!

Better than Advertised

The property was perfectly advertised, fully equipped relaxation, and afforded my adult daughter the ideal location for exploring the cape, while enjoying the town and beaches of Dennis Port. The amenities and the thoughtful suggestions/notes were amazing and made our short stay much easier than expected. Cozy and comfortable, it directly contributed to the a great, but short vacation. While the property was superb, I cannot say enough about the hosts. Warm, friendly, and helpful, they responded immediately with helpful info, making us feel welcome. Highly recommended!

Amenities Not as Described.

The house was as expected but there was a musty smell and lots on ants in the kitchen at the end of our stay (we kept the dishes/counter/floors clean). The bikes and yard games provided need some love (modt were broken). The neighborhood was not as charming as the rest we visited and not as walkable/bikable for our age kids (7,5).

This was our second stay at this property. Kate was so accommodating with an early check in and making sure that all was well. The cottage is located in a perfect location of the Cape. We were able to bike the Shining Sea trail in Falmouth and the Province Lands trail at Ptown both trails about 45 minutes from the cottage. The Cape Cod Rail trail is located very close to the house. Our Pug was so comfortable and we loved the huge fenced in yard where he could roam. We took advantage each night of the fire pit. Would highly recommend this cozy cottage.

Pleasant cottage

Owner very communicative/friendly! Walkway/rock path could be redone (little icky if raining w bags). We planned to be gone essentially all day during the stay… close quarters but not bad if with a close friend/family member! Wouldn’t recommend as being within walking distance to stores/town.

Quintessential Cape Cod

If you grew up visiting the Cape or are looking for an authentic Cape Cod experience, look no further. This absolutely charming, classic rustic home has every amenity you could possibly need — washer/dryer, mini-split AC, outdoor shower (a personal favorite!), a private fenced-in yard, patio, fire pit, board games, and even a shed stocked with water toys.The attention to detail is obvious — the owners have truly thought of everything, and the décor is adorable! The house was actually more spacious than we expected, comfortably accommodating four adults. The primary bedroom is larger than expected, and there's a second bedroom with two twin beds.It’s fully stocked with all the essentials: towels, sheets, soap, sponges, trash bags, and laundry detergent. An added bonus is its walkable location — close to several restaurants, shops, and stores — plus it’s a quick, easy drive to the beach and an easy pickup spot for Uber.A 10-star review is a no-brainer. We hope to be back next year!
