Great experience

Our stay at Denise's was very enjoyable. There were many amenities at the house, including convenient items like high chair for our little one. The beds were extremely comfortable. The house was clean and spacious and having two full bathrooms was key for our group. The pool was a huge plus. The area was nice for walking and we loved strolling to electric beach or driving the short distance to Onset beach, both of which are ideal for small kids and not overly crowded. Denise was responsive and helpful. Overall a good experience and would recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Denise

I currently live in Buzzards Bay, just a 1/2 mile from this property and work in the area as a registered nurse. I am very excited to offer guests a beautiful home & property in which to enjoy their Cape Cod vacation, to visit family & friends, or whatever else brings you to this unique part of the country.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I came to Cape Cod for our honeymoon in 1985 and often visited a friend who lives on the water in Cotuit. I have such fond memories of those days! Swimming, sailing, laying out in the sun, searching for seashells, barbeques, fireworks and bon fires… I have always been drawn to the beach but growing up it was pretty far. In 1987 my husband took a job on the Cape and the rest was history. I fell in LOVE with this quaint area with its beautiful beaches, amazing sunsets, and casual feel. This has been a great place to raise a family, and also a fantastic spot to vacation. There is so much to do!

What makes this property unique

I love the charm of this 1901 colonial home. It was completely renovated in 2010 with all the modern amenities but still holds the old character that makes it unique. I enjoy the fact that you can see the Cape Cod Railroad Bridge from the back yard and hear the train as it pulls in and out of Buzzards Bay station. It’s tucked away in a quaint quiet neighborhood, yet so close to the beach, restaurants, shops, the canal, and many area attractions.
