We cannot express how phenomenal the nature views and water views at this home are.

High tide and low tides change daily, creating an abundance of interest on the Bass River.

For the Beachcombers
If you’re a beach lover, West Dennis beach is close by - a mere 4 minute drive from the property. It is a mile long, beautiful, sandy, ocean beach on Nantucket Sound, where the waves smoothly and calmly hit the shore and the gulls soar overhead and the salt air tantalizes your senses. You will collect plenty of seashells here. It has plenty to do for the whole family: there's a playground, snack bar, and kite flying area, showers and many lifeguard stations, along with a large parking lot.

South Village Beach is another fantastic nearby beach option and is a little under 2 miles from “Seagrass Haven”. It is a beautiful beach with clear refreshing water, minimal seaweed and an abundance of shells to collect. It is also ideal for those that just love to play on the beach as the sand is very soft. The beach is large with plenty of room to spread out. The sandbar is nice and one can enjoy riding the tidal waves. South Village Beach is at the mouth of the Swan Pond River with a great current that flows at low tide, which allows for a lazy river ride. Be advised that there is no snack bar or permanent bathroom/changing facilities.

However, if you prefer the pristine sand of the Dennis beaches on the Northside on the Cape Cod Bay, they are easily accessible by car: Chapin Beach, Corporation Beach, Mayflower Beach should not be missed.
