Welcome to Mayflower Cottage, a quintessential Cape Cod retreat tucked away on a sleepy, tree-lined street in Dennis. Bursting with charm and character, this timeless home captures the essence of seaside living. There's no need to worry about beach parking, because the home is just a short stroll from the powdery white sands and shimmering waters of Mayflower Beach. This popular beach offers a concession stand, restrooms, and rinse off stations. Spend your days basking in the sun, swimming in Cape Cod Bay, and watching unforgettable sunsets that paint beautiful hues across the horizon each evening. After the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower, fire up the grill, and gather on the deck for a relaxed al fresco dinner with the ones you love. If you don't feel like cooking, take a short walk to Chapin's Bayside Restaurant for casual indoor or outdoor dining. You can order takeout, or hang in the bar for some great live music!
Step inside Mayflower Cottage and you'll find it blends nostalgic Cape style with thoughtful modern updates. The knotty pine kitchen evokes classic summer memories, while stainless steel appliances and well-stocked cookware make it easy for any home chef to create delicious meals. Enjoy casual breakfasts or quick lunches at the cozy eat-in table, or soak in the breeze from the cheerful sunroom, where double doors open onto a spacious deck—perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The private backyard oasis is complete with a fire pit, gas grill, and a fully enclosed outdoor shower with a private changing space. The intimate living room offers a cozy space to unwind after a day of adventure. Whether you’re curled up with a book, sharing stories, or playing board games with family, this is a place to slow down and reconnect. With four bedrooms and accommodations for up to 10 guests, the home is ideal for families or multi-generational vacations.
Beyond Mayflower Beach, the surrounding area offers countless ways to enrich your stay. For a dose of local culture, enjoy live theater at the Cape Playhouse, or watch a movie at the adjacent Cape Cinema. Visit the Cape Cod Museum of Art, or climb to the top of Scargo Tower for panoramic views of the Bay and beyond. Located nearby in Dennis Village are many wonderful opportunities for dining, like Scargo Cafe, Encore, Fin, The Pheasant, Pescorino Romano, Captain Frosty’s, and Pizza Shark. For breakfast and lunch, the Dennis Mercantile, Underground Bakery, and Seven Days are local village gems. Enjoy fresh seafood at the scenic Sesuit Harbor Café (check out their outdoor breakfast, along with their sunset and lobster cruises), or indulge in seasonal Cape fare at The Marshside. Of course, you can choose to top off any day with ice cream from several village locations. Whether you're seeking relaxation, exploration, or a little bit of both, Mayflower Cottage is your invitation to experience the very best of Cape Cod.
