About this property

Waterfront! Beautiful river views! Kayaks, paddleboard, porch, fire pit!

NEW OUTDOOR RENOVATIONS completed in the off-season! Two new beautiful gray treks decks. Large, stunning back deck with cable for viewing of the gorgeous Swan River. On the deck is a carefree, large, sturdy composite and teak outdoor dining table and chairs. New stone patio is perfect for grilling, having a cold beverage with a beautiful view of the River and wildlife. Two new wicker lounge chairs to relax or read a book are set by the river bank. A newly built stone fire pit and Adirondack chairs overlooking the river to enjoy by day and night. A newly installed sliding door with built-in shades leads you to the gorgeous deck and one of the prettiest views on the cape! We pulled up a indoor-outdoor carpet in the porch and put down easy care waterproof laminate flooring. We added a cafe table and chairs for morning coffee on the porch. The front deck is also new beautiful treks decking. Spacious with beautiful views of the river as well. We pulled down the light green vinyl siding and painted the clapboard driftwood grey. Front door is a beachy aqua blue. All of the windows in the house have been replaced. A new mulched path within the trees leads to yet another tranquil spot with more Adirondack chairs to enjoy the peaceful and serene river. The house has better curb appeal and we are really happy with the results. Please see some updated pictures!

You will see many windsurfers. At the end of the beach is Bass River beach or boaters beach, as the locals call it. Mayflower on the Cape Cod Bay is one of the prettiest beaches with tidal pools at low tide. Both beaches have bathrooms and concession stands. Mayflower is a great place to watch the sunset. Corporation is a pretty beach with limited parking and Chapin is a beach I like to walk after 5:00.

Loved it - Great weekend getaway
Everything was wonderful -- close to beach, close to stores, quiet, kayaks, plenty of room for my wife and I and our two adult children and partner to kick back and relax and enjoy the Cape. Host was great to work with and communicated everything we needed to know and more!

Best house ever
Property was fantastic and as advertised. Despite a not so great beach week, the location of the house and the amenities made it an amazing week. Far and and away the bear house we have ever rented at the Cape.

Great find!
This was a last-minute vacation for us. Kerri (the owner) was very responsive to our questions. The home was just as advertised well equipped and right on the Swan River salt-marsh with easy kayak and paddleboard access. Discovering West Dennis Beach was great – easy parking (with non-resident pass) and short walk to the water. We had a great time.

Absolutely beautiful!
After a very stressful week at home, coming to this home situated right on Swan River was the break from reality that we needed! The home is beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. There was more than enough room for our family of 7 to spread out and not feel crowded. The back deck was our favorite place to have a cup of coffee in the morning while enjoying the beautiful view of the Swan River. My youngest had a blast identifying the many types of birds we saw -thanks to the coffee table book with pictures and facts about all of the birds on Cape Cod! My sons brought their fishing poles and nets, and caught more crabs than ever! Thank you for the use of the kayaks and paddle board -what a great addition to our vacation to be able to kayak down the river to the beach. The fire pit was a fun evening activity after a long day at the beach, and we discovered a few new games that we had never played before- I am the family champion of Skittle-Scatter! :) And the outdoor shower… the kids never complained about having to take a shower once! We also appreciate your home being dog friendly- we were so relieved to be able to bring our 13+ year old Jack Russell Terrier on this year’s family vacation- now that he’s getting on in years he doesn’t like to be boarded- so thank you for that memory as well. We brought our bikes and spent one day biking the rail trail to Chatham for lunch and back- it is so close to the house. Actually there isn’t much that you have to travel far for, there are some great restaurants, ice cream, and shopping all right around the corner. We took pizza to Mayflower beach to watch the sunset as was suggested in the “house book” and it did not disappoint! The host of this property has really taken a lot of time and effort to put this book together and it covers EVERYTHING! Communication with the host is fabulous! She and her husband bent over backward to help us retrieve an item I left behind. I would HIGHLY recommend this property for your Cape Cod getaway!
