Description

Description

Welcome to Highlands Haven. Avoid the traffic jams, we are a Sunday to Sunday rental. Linens are included year round. In the off season, there is a $250.00 cleaning fee.

As you can see, I have imbued the house with a colorful vibe and have filled it with love.

Tucked away from the maddening crowds (and the traffic), yet close to everything a Cape Cod vacation is meant to include, this exceptionally large 3-bedroom, 3 full bathroom (one on each floor) house has ample space to gather or to get away from each other. Located in a quiet neighborhood just off Old Kings Highway (Route 6A), a perfect area to enjoy your morning strolls or dog walks.

The large living room has a gas fireplace (perfect for those chilly evenings) with built-in bookcases and plenty of seating to gather around the 55” Samsung smart-TV (don’t forget your Netflix, Amazon, Disney or other streaming passwords) with Xfinity for cable service.

The eat-in kitchen was upgraded with all new appliances. The cabinets and pantry are filled with every conceivable accessory one could require to make delicious meals at home. For casual seating, there are three bar stools at the kitchen counter, which is open to the spacious and vaulted dining room that has a round table to seat six.

Should the weather be favorable, step outside to the oversized deck with another table and six chairs and extend the awning for a shady respite. This is the perfect spot to watch either your two-legged or four-legged family members enjoying the fully-fenced rear yard.

Tucked down the hall is the recently renovated hall bathroom that also has the large-capacity front loading washer & dryer. At the end of the main floor, are two equally sized guest bedrooms (one with a queen bed & TV, one with two twin beds). Each have comfy chairs for a bedtime story or just to find a quiet spot to get away with a good book.

The entire 2nd floor is the owner’s suite, encompassing the entire length of the house with a king bed (tucked under the skylight, count the stars before going to sleep!), its own en-suite bathroom, 2 comfy chairs and another Samsung smart-TV.

All bedrooms have Simmons Beautyrest mattresses.

Downstairs is a fully finished basement with a free-standing gas stove, the 3rd full bathroom and direct access to the rear patio or the attached 1-car garage. Should the weather be unfavorable, there is another large table with six chairs to enjoy playing games, cards or putting together jigsaw puzzles. There is even a small desk area should the ''work from home'' crowd need a place for the laptop!

We even put a second full-sized refrigerator in the garage attached to the finished basement for your beverages or additional food products.

Step outside and enjoy your own private oasis with 6 Adirondack chairs and a fire pit for evening relaxation and beautiful plantings that surround the rear property line. The large yard has ample room for soccer, baseball or other fun activities with the family. There is also a Pawley's Island hammock for relaxation.

There is an outdoor shower for washing off the sand from your beach excursions (or bathing your pooch after a long run) with a handheld shower head.

There is also a gas grill for BBQs with 4 burners and a side burner for doing a lobster boil.

The large detached garage is not currently part of the rental.

Air conditioning is provided on all three floors and of course, there is high-speed internet with WiFi boosters on each floor.

There are 5 public beaches within 2 miles of the house, try a different one each day. For just $90.00 for a beach pass for the week, you can explore Chapin Memorial, Mayflower, Nobscussett or Corporation Beaches on Cape Cod bay and Princess Beach on Scargo Lake. We provide you with ample beach towels!

No trip to any of the bay beaches would be complete without a sunset stroll or spending an hour or two at low tide to hunt for critters & shells in the mile-long sand puddles that extend far into the bay.

So convenient to everything that Dennis has to offer, there are so many things to do on the north side of the Cape! The Dennis Public Market is less than a mile away, and is a wonderful, family-owned food store that has everything you could need to create great meals at home. A slightly longer drive, you will find Ferretti's Market in Brewster with the best selection of steaks & other meat products or Peterson's Market in Yarmouthport!

The Cape Cod Museum of Art is well worth a visit to explore some of the amazing art by local Cape artisans. The Cape Cod Playhouse is the best place to experience live theater and the summer schedule is already up on their website. Both are less than a mile from the house.

Care for a little walk (or a kayak) on the wild side? Take the time to go climb Scargo Tower, located at the highest point on Cape Cod with views for miles on a clear day! Take a couple of hours to enjoy the nature trails at Flax Pond Conservation Lands or travel a little farther to the larger Nickerson State Park. Paddleboards and kayaks can be launched on Swan River just a few miles away.

Whatever your plans for a memorable Cape Cod vacation, Highlands Haven is the perfect base from which to explore, and a lovely sanctuary to relax at the end of the day!

Dogs must be crated when the humans are not at the house (provided). Maximum of 2 dogs, no cats.

    Spectacular home away from home

    From the moment we walked into Scott's home, my family and I were floored by the cleanliness, the bright colors, and the quality of everything! This house has all the comforts of home including fluffy towels, feather pillows, good WiFi, and all the kitchen gadgets. Our dog settled right in as well, enjoying and exploring every bit of the enclosed backyard. Before we arrived, Scott was kind enough to let us know that the previous guests must have had a black dog and the quilt in the primary was unacceptable for our stay. It wasn't a problem for us as we brought our own quilt, but how kind of the owner to alert us! He also texted us to tell us about some fireworks and town events that were happening…so thoughtful! The beds were great, the tub was helpful for our kids to take a bath each night, and the patio was a slice of heaven. The neighborhood was so quiet; we took nightly walks with our dog and kids…so enjoyable! Best of all, the location! Central to so much. Our favorite spots were Grumpy's for breakfast and Captain Frosty's for seafood and soft serve. Mayflower beach is incredible and our best discovery was Paine's Creek Landing in Brewster for the kids…go see for yourself! show more show less

    Dear Ann,

    Thank you for commenting on the cleanliness of the property. My crew takes great pride in making certain that each guest has an immaculate home upon their arrival. I hope you enjoyed the fireworks on Labor Day at West Dennis Beach, and so happy that your dog enjoyed the big back yard. I love Grumpy's, such a great local place for breakfast and lunch! I hope you can make it back again in the near future!

    Cheers.

    Best rental so far

    This is our second year renting this house and we feel it is our home away from home! The set up of the house allows for great family get togethers along with down time alone if needed. We discovered Corporation Beach,our new favorite bay beach that was only a 6 minute drive. Also love the Lemontree shops and of course Petersons market for great pizza and groceries. We're already locked in for next year! Thanks Scott!!

    Hi Nancy,

    It was great to have you back for a 2nd year in a row (and already booked for 2025!)! I do also enjoy how one can gather together, or find a quiet place away from the family. Corporation Beach is one of the best on the North shore of the Cape, it is a somewhat hidden gem, just as nice as Mayflower Beach. I've never been to the Lemontree Shop, will have to check that out the next time I'm up there, but Peterson's is a great family market. Thanks for being a "three-peater"!

    Cheers,

    Scott

    Summer Fun

    This was our second year renting this beautiful home in Dennis. The property is more than well equip with everything you would need to stay for a year! From top to bottom, this three level home works wonderful for my husband, daughter and her two boys. Every level has an updated full bath. The kitchen has everything one would need to make a gourmet meal, every utensil, pot, pan, right down to the linen table napkins and gorgeous pottery and platters. The beds are super comfortable with lovely linen sheets, Turkish Towels in the Lower Level bath, beautiful bed covers and pillows. The walk out lower level additional family room and game room has a fireplace and French Doors to the outside patio, shower and Fire Pit which the boys enjoyed making S'more's once again this summer. We had a great time at Mayflower Beach. One day it rained so we took the kids to the Water Park while I shopped till I dropped at "Cathy's Place" right across the street. Ladies! Don't miss this shop if you like Lulu B clothing!
    We love Scargos Restaurant (x3), Cobies for our annual Fried Clam and Seafood Plates but our most favorite this year was Encore! It was the best! The Art Museum is right out back behind Encore as well as the Cape Cod Playhouse where we were lucky enough to score the last two tickets to the Broadway Play "Beautiful"- Carole King. It was our last night at this rental! Although we don't have a dog, this home is pet friendly. I have a keen sense of smell and did not smell any scent of a dog nor did I see one dog hair. This home is clean from top to the bottom. We have already booked our vacation for 2025. This is one not to miss. Thank you for allowing us the privilege to rent your beautiful home.
    Sincerely,
    Joleen and Will

    Dear Joleen,

    It was great to have you and your family back for a 2nd year, and so glad that you have already booked again for 2025!

    I have dined on several occasions at both Scargo Cafe & Encore, both fantastic places right around the corner from the house. I will be happy to share your comments about the house's cleanliness with my cleaning crew. I know they take great pride in making sure that the house is perfect for every guest, and they will be very pleased to hear your comments.

    Cheers,

    Scott

    Perfect Family Vacation

    This is our second year returning to Highlands Haven, and we can't wait to come back again next summer. Scott is a wonderful host, and quick to answer all of our questions. Our kids spent every moment (that we weren't on the water) in the fenced in backyard, all of the amenities we needed for our family were available, and he has really made this house feel like a home.

    Hi Jessica,

    It was so nice to have you all back to Highlands Haven this Summer, and thanks for already reserving for next year! I do try and make it feel like a home, and not some generic rental with minimal furnishings & decorations. Glad you felt at home.

    Cheers,

    Scott

    Highlands Haven more like Highlands Heaven

    Wow! Where do I begin. The Highlands Haven was an amazing place for my family's vacation this year. The location of this home is in a very lovely area in Dennis. Let's begin with the outside - the yard was very well kept and was quite large. It is completely fenced in which our dogs Duncan and Jessie really appreciated. The dogs are very small in size and had more than enough space to run around the backyard. The backyard provides a fire pit surrounded by plenty of seating. There is also a hammock out back in which on a nice day you could take a nap or enjoy a book. During our stay I enjoyed both in the hammock - a good book and a short nap.
    Moving to the inside of the house...so very amazing. This is a 3 bedroom home. The master bedroom is located on the entire second floor level. It is a very spacious bedroom with two skylights (with shades that can be drawn over them at night if you want to keep the room dark in the morning). It also has a very large en suite with more than enough room for your personal items. It is a shower only bathroom and the water temperature and pressure get an A+.
    The living room on the main floor was a great location for us all to sit before bedtime to chat and reflect upon on our days. There are plenty of books for your enjoyment as well as some games to enjoy with your family.
    The other two bedrooms (one queen and one with two singles) are both located at the same end of the hall. They are spacious and comfortable as well. Although my husband and I stayed in the master suite we could have bee just as happy in the queen-sized bedroom. We were with my elderly parents who don't do stairs that well anymore.
    The bathroom on the main floor is quite spacious as well. That is where the washer and dryer are also housed. As with the rest of the house...all of the appliances are very modern.
    The kitchen was amazing withwith an island placed in the center. We enjoyed cooking and hanging out in there as we prepared family meals a few nights during our visit. It was nice to sit in the beautiful dining room as a family to enjoy home cooked meals.
    The decor of the house I cannot say enough. We absolutely love the choice of paint colors as well as the many framed photographs taken by the Owner Scott. His photography is absolutely beautiful and can also be ordered through him, if you so choose. He also has a table top book of some of his photography as well. There is other art work throughout the house from other artists that are beautiful as well. We absolutely loved all of the decor in this home. The owner's did a beautiful job. There is not one single reason that anyone wouldn't want to return to this beautiful vacation home.
    Lastly, the basement is just as amazing as the rest of the home. It is completely finished with a dining room table, television area, and a nice sized bathroom. There are also some games on the dining room table to be enjoyed.
    One of our favorite restaurants nearby is Jack's Outback in Yarmouth Port, which is just a short drive away. We usually frequent this restaurant for breakfast which is amazing. They have delicious popovers which you don't see in many places and they have amazing seasonal specials. We go during Autumn and really enjoy the "Pumpkin Bread French Toast". It is truly amazing and does not disappoint. My husband and I got married in Yarmouth Port so we always dine at The Olde Yarmouth Inn for dinner. This is a more upscale restaurant and has never disappointment either. Each year that we are there we always try to see new sights and do different things. We end up going from one end of the Cape to the other during our stay. There are many wonderful things to do while visiting the Cape such as Scargo Tower, Sandwich Glass Museum, Brewster Grist Mill, many lighthouses to seek out, and a visit to the General Store in Brewster.
    If you are lucky enough to rent this home the only disappointment will be

    Dear Lisa,

    Wow, I've never had a guest want to share so many details that they ran out of characters at the end of the review!!! Hopefully, your last sentence was saying that the only disappointment will be... "leaving"! Thanks for the details on a few of the great restaurants on the Cape as well. So happy you all appreciated my decorating style, and my own photos!

    I hope you can make it back in 2024!

    Cheers,

    Scott

    Beautiful home!!

    We recently stayed at the highlands haven and truly loved it! The house was beautiful and very spacious! Our two dogs loved the yard and enjoyed spending time out there while we relaxed on the deck or patio! It was fully stocked with kitchen utensils, games and books. The neighborhood was quiet and nice yet close to many great restaurants and beaches! We loved visiting Mayflower beach and truly enjoyed our time there. The owners binder had several great suggestions of local places that we tried and enjoyed all of them! We would definitely recommend the highlands haven! show more show less

    Hi Catherine,

    I'm so glad that you all (including your dogs Louie & Winnie!) had a great time at our house this Summer! Always nice to know that my guests actually try-out some of my recommended place to eat and things to do that I share in my guest binder! Mayflower is indeed, a great beach to enjoy, and the sunsets from there are amazing!

    I do hope that your schedule can find time to return in 2024!

    Cheers.

    Vacation Perfection

    Just back from a week at Highland Haven and couldn't be more impressed. We were with our daughter, son in law, and dog. This property is well laid out, beautifully and thoughtfully appointed, and meticulously clean. The fully fenced yard is large and well maintained. Quiet and lovely neighborhood near great places to eat and quick drive to several beaches. We have also stayed at Scott's other property on Long Pond in Yarmouth. That is equally beautiful and well maintained, with a great lay out; we prefer the quieter neighborhood of East Dennis but anytime Scott is the property owner, you can be assured of a great stay! show more show less

    Dear Susan,

    It was so nice to have you experience my "NEW" property in Dennis, after having rented my "OLDER" Long Pond Cottage for a few years now! So glad you found the house & the neighborhood to be everything that you and your family needed. The quiet north side of the Cape is quite relaxing, and glad that your dog enjoyed the larger yard. So glad to have you back for 2 WEEKS next Summer!

    Cheers.

    Favorite new vaca house!

    Had an amazing 2 weeks at Scott's house in Dennis! The house is very spacious. There are 3 floors ,3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms which give privacy to the guests.The mattresses are very comfortable. My doodle Jackson loved the enormous fenced in backyard. The neighborhood is also great for dog walking. The large porch with retractable awning was perfect for pizza party and friend gatherings,along with early morning sun block and rain block when needed! Split A/C thru out house give temperature control to all guests! Location fantastic. Close to Mayflower beach although it fills up usually by 10AM. Another great beach,especially for little ones or older adults is West Dennis beach. It has parking all along the beach,snack bar and 3 bathrooms. Very little walking from car to sand and doesn't fill up. Wind and Kite surfers at the end are beautiful to watch. Peterson's market 1 mile away for groceries and excellent pizza ! Howl a Day Inn is 15 minutes away and is a great doggy day care if needed, just call to book in advance. They are very flexible with drop offs and pickup is by 6 pm unless boarding. Cobies in Brewster for fresh and fried seafood,museum of Natural history and Whydahs pirate museum are all recommended! Marconi beach and P town too! Already booked again for next year,thanks Scott!! show more show less

    Dear Nancy,

    It was so nice to have you enjoy Highlands Haven for 2 weeks this Summer! I'm so happy that Jackson enjoyed the backyard, and you enjoyed the retractable awning for a bit of shade while dining! Those split A/C units really do allow everyone to have their own comfort zones while sleeping! You're 2 weeks next year will be waiting for you!

    Cheers.

    Our stay at Highlands Haven in Dennis

    With many previous rental on the Cape and The Islands, we found this rental to be the best! The property was clean and very well appointed including the kitchen which was well equipped with all the cooking essentials for a gourmet cook. The layout of the home has three floors, including the finished walk out basement to the large back fenced yard, fire pit, and composite deck with seating for six which was perfect. The home has updated furniture, comfortable bedding and quality linen service including fabulous Turkish Towels. Although we do not have a dog, this unit is also pet friendly. We did not see one dog hair. It was 100% clean as a whistle upon our arrival.
    There is a surround sound stereo, four smart TV's, games for the kids and adults, and many books to read. The bedrooms are all spacious and adorned with beautiful bedding and furniture which is unusual to see in a rental. Three full baths, one on all three levels of living and new front loading washer and dryer. The owners welcome manual was the best we have seen with insight to the local area from restaurants to services and a detailed description of the home amenities. Mayflower beach is one of the cleanest beaches we have seen on the Cape. Just a four minute drive from the house. We highly recommend this rental. Thank you Scott. We had a great week in your five star home! *****

    Dear Joleen,

    Thank you so much for selecting Highlands Haven for your Summer vacation. Your review is just lovely (I even made sure to share your comments about its cleanliness with our cleaning team!). I know that your husband enjoyed all the amenities in the kitchen! And also thank you on our Guest Binder/Welcome Book! I've tried to think of everything a vacationer might need while on Cape Cod!

    I do look forward to seeing you back again in 2024.

    Cheers.

    Oh so relaxing…

    It was our first time in Highlands Haven and loved every minute of it. Scott, the Host, thought of everything to make his guests feel welcome. The décor is both, beautiful and functional. The home is cozy and spacious at the same time. It is just as described and more! There are different forms of art sprinkled around (i.e., glass figurines and prints), comfortable armchairs with whimsical accent pillows, incredibly plush bed linens on not too soft but not too hard mattresses, sparkling clean bathrooms, and a well-stocked perfectly appointed kitchen. The outdoor space offers a large fenced-in backyard, for our labradoodle's enjoyment, an easily accessible outdoor shower (LOVED the rain shower head outfitted with a handheld option that is also available in the first-floor bathroom), plenty seating on the composite deck with a retractable awning, or in Adirondack chairs on ground level around the firepit. There's a hammock and a cloth line.
    And, there's the location...the home is in a quiet neighborhood where we met some friendly locals. We were able to bike to the incredible Mayflower Beach when we didn't feel like driving the 2 miles. We also discovered Princess Beach, a quaint local treasure, on Scargo lake, which offered surprisingly warm fresh water. Our favorite restaurant Clancy's catered to gluten-free dietary needs, and we preferred the Ice Cream Smuggler to the CC Creamery for treats. We were able to do quick excursions to Chatham and Brewster without sacrificing a whole day on travel. Our week flew by, and we are planning to be back next summer.

    Dear Monika,

    It was so nice to have your entire family for a week this Summer! So glad that your Labradoodle enjoyed the big back yard. Finding the right balance for the mattresses is always a challenge, and so glad you appreciated their "not too hard, not too soft" feel. I have never been to the little beach at Scargo Lake, so I'll have to check that out soon! I've also never eaten at Clancy's, so yet another new destination for me!

    We look forward to having you back in 2024!

    Cheers.

    I have been renting my first property (ID# 14849) in South Yarmouth since 2008, and have many satisfied returning clients. I began my love affair with Cape Cod in the 1980's when I attended Boston University, and have been coming back ever since! I purchased that property in 2008, and enjoy taking breaks in the off-season (and also a great time for you to rent!) while the Summers are filled with my guests!

    In 2022, I have added to my portfolio & just launched another fantastic rental (ID# 35548) in the quiet north side of Dennis, just a short 2 miles to Mayflower Beach!

    I have a German Shorthaired Pointer and an English Springer Spaniel, hence both houses are completely dog-friendly & full fenced!

    What is special about this property?
    Long Pond Cottage is a perfect blend of the old and the new! I love the fact that each of the bedrooms have their own reading nooks and the previous Owner was a gifted carpenter. My own personal decorating style is not your ''cookie-cutter'' interior design, and it feels very much like my own home (which it is!). The two bathroom renovations are what I am most proud of designing. and the new kitchen (2019) is another colorful addition to the renovations list!

    It's a great walking neighborhood with access to a (non-motorized) fresh water lake for swimming, kayaking, paddle-boarding, etc.

    Highlands Haven is a larger property that provides for an even larger fenced yard. I have spent the Winter of 2022 completely renovating the house & imbuing it with a more modern, colorful vibe! This too is another great walking neighborhood with very few vacation rental properties, yet is so close to all the amenities of Dennis along the historic King's Highway and multiple beaches within 2 miles.

    What is special about your town?
    Both South Yarmouth and Dennis are central to everything, yet tucked away from all the busy roads.
