Amazing property! Great location - able to walk to restaurants and very close to beaches. We loved that it was on a quiet street and we were able to bring our dog. House was also stocked with a ton of amenities and very much felt like we were right at home!

We had a fantastic stay - everything was great, from easy check-in, communication, cleanliness, to being as-described and a great layout for our group of 4 adults and 3 kids. The backyard space was a family favorite place to gather and enjoy time together at the large picnic table and fire pit area. It was also wonderful to have such great air conditioning during a hot week and we enjoyed the availability of having the bikes to use. Overall an excellent place!

Wonderful getaway!

Our family stayed the week in this beautiful cottage. Everything was as advertised, and there were even lots of extra conveniences (lotion, toiletries, utensils in the kitchen, beach towels, sweatshirts, etc). Great location, super clean, excellent and thoughtful hosts. We found a gem for sure.

Just perfect for our family

The space is cute with the upstairs loft just right for our teen sisters (stairs would be too steep for older adults). Very well stocked kitchen. Both indoor and outdoor showers which was welcome after our beach days. And convenient to beaches, restaurants and markets.

Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place in the cape for four adults and a couple of kids. Well represented by the pictures, with everything clean when we arrived. The hosts are great, easy to reach and very nice. The backyard really feels like you're out in the woods.

Amazing location and fantastic property!

We had a blast at Starfish cottage! Two couples and two kids (ages 9 & 12) who absolutely loved sleeping upstairs in the loft. This place is fully stocked for all your beach vacation needs. Everything comes as advertised and the location is walking distance to anything you’d need in Dennis Port. The outdoor shower make for a stellar touch as well.

Great week at Starfish Cottage

The Cottage had all the accommodations needed for our vacation on the Cape. Plenty of room in the house for the five adults and two young kids, well stocked with the everyday necessities. Close to the beaches, restaurants, shops and of course ice cream. Backyard well furnished with chairs, fire pit, hammock and outdoor shower. Quiet area to spend a relaxing week.

A Wonderful Family Vacation

My two sons, my daughter-in-law, my wife, and I, and a dog decided a year ago to vacation together on Cape Cod this summer. After searching for a property listing, we settled on this cottage. It was everything we had hoped it would be. There is plenty of space, including an outdoor sitting area. It was clean and ready for us when we arrived. There was great communication between the owner and myself during the visit. It is close to several beaches and on a street without any traffic. I would give it my highest recommendation and would not hesitate to stay there again in the coming years.

Beautiful cottage with everything you could need!

I visited Starfish Cottage with my daughter, who has severe disabilities, and our golden retriever. The cottage was amazingly comfortable. Everything inside appeared new, including the very comfortable mattresses and the large, luxury washer dryer. There were lovely touches everywhere I looked, like little twinkly lights adorning the fireplace. I would definitely recommend a relaxing stay at Starfish Cottage!

MA family vacation

The cottage was cute, clean. Not a fan of plastic bowls and plates. The bed frames need to be updated. MA weather is on the dam side, there were 2 days of rain during our stay; the cottage feels dam. Over all, we enjoyed and made the best vacation for the rest of our week in MA.

Relaxing at Starfish Cottage

My family had a wonderful, relaxing vacation at Starfish Cottage. We enjoyed excursions either walking to the beach or riding on the bikes provided for our pleasure. The weather was perfect allowing us to take advantage of the fire pit and hammock in the backyard. The oversized picnic table was was a great place to enjoy food, family and long conversations into the night. We all had a fantastic time and hopefully we can return soon. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. ❤️

Cape Cod Gem

We enjoyed our stay. The home is situated on a dead-end street. Quite quiet, except for the occasional loud guests at the inn behind the property. The home itself is wonderful. Kitchen is stocked, comfortable beds, couches, and chairs. Aruna is a high-quality host. 10 min walk to the beach. Close to the shops of Dennis Port. GG

About the host

Hosted by Aruna McDermott

Host profile image
We purchased these properties (House & cottage) in 2008 and have renovated them over the years. Every year we do a new improvement. We use the cottages ourselves so you know they are well loved and cared for. We love the cottages and area and know you will too!

Why they chose this property

The house and cottage are a short 1/2 mile from both the ocean beach and the village of Dennisport. They are both decorated in a Cape Cod style that we think you'll love.
Put your feet up, read a book in the hammock, sit outside under the twinkle lights in the tree or stroll to Sundae School for the worlds best ice-cream sundae!

What makes this property unique

If your party is larger, you can rent both the 3BR/1.5BTH house and the 1BR/1BTH cottage next door.
