This welcoming 2-bedroom cottage has everything you look for in a coastal getaway. There’s plenty of space inside and out for families, including a large eat-in kitchen and versatile sleeping spaces.
Enjoy an unbeatable location just over 1 block to the beach and a quick walk to restaurants and shops. Stroll to Ocean House Restaurant just minutes away for mouthwatering lobster ravioli and chocolate sundaes (complete with chocolate spoons). For seafood fried to perfection, it's an 8-minute walk to the famous Oyster Company.
Pick up a bike at Dennis Cycle Center 2.3 miles away, then spin over to the Cape Cod Rail Trail for a picturesque ride through woods, over bridges and past cranberry bogs!
INSIDE THE HOUSE
Stroll up the garden-lined brick walkway and enter into a warm, wood-lined living room with beautiful blue couches and chairs. Inspired artwork invites you into the interior.
The sun-drenched eat-in kitchen is stocked with everything you need to whip up your favorite dishes! A dining area seats 6 below an elegant chandelier. The bright and open sunroom is off the kitchen and features wicker furniture, a queen-sized futon and a TV.
Enjoy a master bedroom with a comfy queen-sized bed, warm wood walls and plenty of lighting. The roomy master bath is located past the laundry room and has a shower/tub combo. Both fun and snug, the 2nd bedroom features 4 twin bunks, and the guest bathroom has a stand-up shower and plenty of shelving.
Sit back and relax on the sunny back deck, where a gas grill stands at the ready for scrumptious outdoor dinners! Lush gardens line the backyard— stretch out on the grass and take in the enchanting sights and smells.
THE LOCATION
So many beaches, so little time! You are so close to the warm waters of Nantucket Sound you can see the beach from the yard! Bass River Beach & Boat Launch is just under 4 miles away, beautiful Mayflower Beach is a 15-minute drive, and a bit of nautical history can be enjoyed at Chatham Lighthouse Beach, about 20 minutes by car.
Indulge in a delectable brunch at Bonatt's Bakery and Restaurant, 2.8 miles away. For a fun combo of Irish cuisine and seafood, visit Wee Packet just 4 minutes from home.
Find fun souvenirs and trinkets at Ebb Tide Gift Shop a half-mile away. For unique artisan goods, visit Sodium— the store's handmade furniture and art is crafted from entirely reclaimed materials, and it's less than a mile away.

Location was great. Neighborhood is quiet. Beach is only a block away. Easy walking distance.

This was great for our family with 4 kids. There were 2 full bathrooms, a nicely stocked and sunny kitchen, and two sitting room spaces each with a tv, so kids and adults can have their own spaces to hang out if you wanted. It was a very close and easy walk to the beach, which was small but very nice for us with young kids. Especially nice given most of the cape cod beaches cost $20-30 dollars to park it. (Just don’t try to do laundry at night after bedtime because it was kind of loud in our room). Would definitely choose it again if e we went to the cape again.

The inside of the house was very very nice - clean and very comfortable. The Wi-Fi was spotty at times. Easy walk (1 block) to the Raycroft beach. Easy walk to the Ocean House and Pelham House restaurants. The outside deck/furniture needed to be cleaned.

Proximity to the beach is great. The house is immaculate and cozy, and we enjoyed the deck at night. The home is well-stocked on arrival and the kitchen includes everything you need.

Cottage is old and outdated. Knotty pine walls in main living area. Musty smell pervades. Nice size kitchen and adjacent tv room. Small bedrooms and second bath. Clean upon arrival, except carpeting is disgustingly stained. 1 1/2 blocks from the nearest public beach (small beach) bordered on 2 sides by private beaches. Nearest "pay" beach in W. Dennis.
A/C, located in attic over main bedroom, drain line became clogged one day and backed up water that leaked over and on to main bed. Local Vacasa management were very good in getting a plumber over that same day to fix the problem. Water was still dripping from the ceiling after the plumber left and until 11:00 PM that night. At that time we changed the bed linens that the maids had left earlier. Our entire day was spent having to hang around and wait for repairs, maids and for Vacasa Relocation to contact us. By now it is 6:30 PM.
Local Vacasa and contractors very helpful. Relocation not so prompt to help our situati.on.

Perfect location, but rental needs ALOT of work
My husband and I flew in from the UK and met my mom in Boston for a trip to Cape Cod. This rental in Dennis port was our first stop. These are my thoughts on the rental:
Pros:
- Location was perfect. A block off the beach made for easy access and it was beautiful
- Plenty of space to accommodate large groups. My husband ended up crashing on the futon in the porch since he snored and he loved it. Having two tvs was nice as well
- Loved having a washer and dryer
Cons:
- The front brick walkway is a death trap. The bricks are sticking out, uneven and loose, making it easy to trip on, which my 73 year old mother did. And please don't respond with you appreciate my informing you of this issue. I can see it mentioned in previous reviews and you obviously haven't fixed it.
-The rental is in dire need of an update. The bedrooms and the bathroom are quite old
-The WiFi is shotty and we had trouble getting anything to stream on the TV in the living room, which was frustrating since there was no cable.
- In the time leading up to the rental, I had texted the rental company twice through the app, as told to with no response. Very frustrating.
Overall, I do not think this rental is worth the money we paid.

Nice Getaway
The property was very good. Traveling with a teen, it was really nice to have another sitting room with a television. However, we could not get the cable to work so I had to use my laptop for access. This was a last minute getaway away and it worked out great. The house was well-supplied and everything we needed was there. It was not as updated as others I've stayed in on the cape, but it was really just fine and clearly a lot of care went into making sure guests were comfortable and well taken care of. In addition, it was more affordable than other places I looked at. I'd definitely recommend to others.

The house was the perfect size for my family of 5. Loved that it was a quick walk to the beach and a quick ride to other places on the Cape. It was the perfect house for an unplugged weekend away.

Overall enjoyable experience. The cottage was very clean and had all the necessary amenities. The location was great. A 5 minute walk to the beach. A couple of issues with technology. Couldn't get one of the TV's to work. Didn't need it so didn't pursue assistance.

Good location and comfortable.
It needs updating. 2nd bathroom shower not very usable as it leaks however main bathroom good. Pots and pans old. Kitchen size large and nice.. The 2nd bedroom could use a dresser and lighting. The sitting room is nice to sit in.

Perfect
It was private and both very cozy and spacious. Having two living areas would be great for people who bring their kids. We instantly felt very comfortable in the house and can't wait to go back. This was a great find.

Property owners and Turnkey need to monitor property
My daughter is an above the knee amputee and she uses a walker which I reiterated to Turnkey more than once. I chose the property, even tho it was more expensive, because it was one level, spacious, and beach accessible for her and looked safe for her. Sadly we found the brick walkway leading to the home buckled and dangerous for anyone to walk on . Many bricks were elevated and wobbly making for scary and difficult travel , especially for a handicapped person. The handrail at the front steps was rusted to the point of being disjointed and was easily moved and pushed thru. As I said before I told Turnkey my situation up front. She fell on the stairs with her walker and refused to go out again till we left. Five beautiful sunny days spent indoors because no thought was given to the safety of their guests. Shame on them. Photos were taken. I’d appreciate an explanation from Turnkey ASAP. Oh, the beach which I was told was walk on and easily accessible was lovely but perhaps 10 steep stairs to the ocean. Not good.

Lovely birthday vacation
My family and I had a wonderful time at this house. We spent 5 days and found the property to be everything we were looking for: short walk to the beach, short drive for ice cream cones and dinner. The house was immaculate when we arrived and had everything we needed. We appreciate the opportunity to stay at such a lovely home!

This property was excellent for our family of 5 and friends. We stayed the week and had an excellent vacation. A 2 minute walk to an access beach (seaweedy) but great to shell hunt and kids played in the sand. Enjoyed bike riding around and just enjoying the cape! Great backyard and deck too! Ping pong table was a nice surprise as well as outdoor shower. Just wish the grass were mowed but it has been very wet. All in all this is a great vacation spot for families and friends who enjoy cooking in and having plenty of room!

Dennisport, October
I found this rental on vrbo short notice for a funreal of a family member. The property is managed by turn key vacation rentals. When we arrived the inside temperature was 63°, and no hot water in sinks or shower. It took over a day to correct this problem, after numerous times talking to different people with Turn Key. The information tablet from Turn Key indicated it was for contractors and employees, not guest. So, we had no idea how to get hot or heat. I did turn up the thermostat but we were not getting any heat. A day later we finally got someone locally from Turn Key to fix the problem. The people that I spoke with apologized, but couldn't help out with our issues that 1st day into the 2ND day. I had to help out a relative with a disability, on November 1, when I returned to the rental the lock on the door had been changed, so I had to call Turn Key again to enter the home. The home was clean, nice, but I wasn't impressed with Turn Key vacation rentals.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Garden Cottage. It is an older home but it is in excellent condition. The home was very clean, well stocked and comfortable. We cooked a lot while we were there and found everything we needed. We loved the large dining table in the kitchen. The backyard was full of beautiful flowers and shrubs. Very inviting. Turn Key was very helpful and easily accessible when we had any questions. They did a great job of communicating with us. We would definitely use them again and recommend them without reservation. We would return to this home if we were in this area again. The location was very central to all the places we visited. Great all around experience.

Reviewer Comments:
First, the Turnkey property rental group was very good. Great and I mean great communications. The property... cons: dark and dated and a little musty. Mis-matched furniture, dishes, etc. Some lights not working. Door to bunk bed room won't shut as the bunk beds completely fill the room. 4 TV remotes which took a while to figure out. Pros: The kitchen was well stocked. Wifi works well. It was clean. Good location with great dining nearby. For beaches... If you have little kids the beach right down the road should work well for you. It is very small and flanked by private beaches. (Yes, in MA you can have a private beach.) Another beach we enjoyed was the West Dennis beach. Only 10 min down the road with plenty of public parking. We tried to go to the north shore beaches which are supposed to be great, but we arrived too late to get parking. Would I go back? No, I would look for another property. It was just... OK
