About this house rental

PLEASE NOTE: There is NO smoking and we cannot allow pets. Also, the slightly steep staircase to the bedrooms makes this property unsuitable for those with difficulty with stairs, and also for young children. Accordingly, we do not allow children under five years old. Lastly, though we do not offer a TV, there is strong WIFI.

This wonderful 1830's carriage house sits on the grounds of the oldest house in Dennis (built in 1680), and provides the comforts of home in a serene setting. Lovingly updated and beautifully decorated, it's filled with original art and carefully selected antiques, for a tranquil and restful home base during your vacation.

The vaulted living room features a beamed ceiling and plenty of comfortable seating. The mahogany dining table seats 6. A desk and chair are off to the side. A full kitchen makes meal preparation a cinch and features table and chairs for 4. A bathroom with shower and laundry area complete the first floor.

BBQ-grill is there for your use.

This unique carriage house is situated between two tidal rivers on a quiet, family-oriented street. It’s a short walk to a small Bass River beach or a quick drive (under 2 miles) to the fantastic West Dennis Beach. Stroll down the Swan River road that winds down to Nantucket Sound. Walk to Kream 'N Kone for a casual seafood dinner. Bike the scenic Cape Cod Rail Trail, just 1.5 miles away. Explore Dennis beaches on the Bay side (south) or Sound side (north); they are some of the finest in America. Other great nearby attractions include the Cape Cod Museum of Art, the Cape Playhouse and Cape (Art) Cinema. Kayak rentals are walking distance away on Swan River. Two championship 18 hole golf courses, fishing, homemade ice cream shops, mini-golfing, conservation lands and many fresh-water ponds are all nearby.

Come explore the beauty and fun of a Cape Cod summer!

The carriage house is a charming place to spend time with the family and get away from work and school routines. Gary and Carolyn are lovely hosts who go out of their way to make your stay special. Come here to unplug from devices and reconnect with each other. We recommend it highly!

This was the second time we stayed at the carriage house, and we enjoyed it as much as the first time. The house is charming and beautifully decorated. There is everything you need, and Gary and Carolyn could not have been nicer and more helpful. Inside and out, the house and yard are.peaceful and relaxing. Tue location is near the beach and restaurants. We would happily stay there again.

The house is very clean and comfortable with thoughtful amenities, like a clothesline for swimsuits out back. Great location--convenient to all of the places we wanted to check out. Gary and Carolyn are lovely hosts.

Staying at the carriage house was just what my family needed to de-stress for a week on Cape Cod. It was charmingly decorated and very clean inside, and we had plenty of space to spread out. The location was very convenient to multiple beaches and other attractions; we never spent too much time in the car. And Gary and Carolyn were gracious hosts who made us feel comfortable and even loaned us some bikes to use. Highly recommend this property!

Gary and Carolyn are the perfect hosts! They are engaging, extremely helpful with a wealth of information; we all enjoyed getting to know them socially. They provide a lovely charming carriage house, will all the amenities necessary for a wonderful Cape Cod vacation. The carriage house is extremely comfortable and located close to shopping, dinning and bars, beaches, rail trail and tennis. My husband and 2 adult boys all said this was the perfect vacation spot! We hope to return next summer!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying at the carriage house which was tastefully decorated and full of charm. The hosts were welcoming and took care of all of our needs. The house is very close to kayak rentals on the river, the bike trail, and quite close to beaches. We took excursions to Martha's Vineyard, Provincetown, the Audubon Wildlife sanctuary and so the house was perfectly located for our trip to Cape Cod!

This was our first trip to Cape Cod and we loved it – and we really enjoyed this house! Gary and Carolyn have obviously gone to great lengths to make it welcoming and they take great care of it. All necessities provided, beach chairs and an umbrell; a couple of bikes to ride on the local trails; even bedding and towels (not provided by may houses in the area we looked at). They also just added a deluxe hammock out front and there's a badminton net and more. My wife and two teen+ daughters had a fun and relxing stay here. I'd totally recommend it!
