Come nestle yourself in this like brand new colonial with farmer's porch. Enjoy the view of the pond while sitting on the porch having your morning coffee while reading the daily paper.

Located near 6A there are many fine restaurants to enjoy as well as the famous Cape Playhouse and Scargo Tower. Enjoy golfing, antique shops, shopping and the quaint village of Dennis with its many many beaches. We are on the bayside and favoring Mayflower Beach as a family favorite, Corporation Beach for its breathtaking sunsets.

Nice location, some issues

PROS Great location, safe neighbourhood, very clean and well maintained. Good facilities CONS Communication via the app was slow. You have to call the host on a US cell when you arrive which I mentioned a few times that I was not able to do as we are from overseas. This wasn't picked up on and we had to find a way to call. Check out is also not straight forward. You are asked to wash and dry all linen and towels and sweep up... thats a lot and not something we have come across in many stays to date elsewhere. There was also construction work underway on the property opposite which the owner stated she knew nothing about (despite living local and the project had been going 5 months....) It wasn't too disruptive as we were out during the day, but we should have been told about this before arrival.we feel.

Summer Fun on The Cape!

We absolutely enjoyed staying at "Seagull's Nest"! Our summer vacation on the Cape was filled with fun and relaxation ~ quiet mornings listening to birds and sipping coffee on the porch, evenings by the fire pit, excursions to Mayflower Beach (we swam with the seals!), Race Point Beach & the Pilgrim Monument in Provincetown, Friday night @ The Chatham Band, Pirate Putt Putt, fishing and nature walks along the trails at Flax Pond, a round of golf at Dennis Pines, sight seeing around the Cape, (the hydrangeas are beautiful this time of year!), and loving ALL this home has to offer - including the outdoor shower & BBQ grills! Thank you so much!!

We enjoyed the seagulls nest. It is in the middle of a lot of great beaches. Close to everything you need to have a good time. The lake does not have a sitting place which was disappointing but thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

Great house

This was a really great house and location. Everything works and is setup like you would hope. The wrap around porch made it easy to move things from the car to the house, then back again. All communication was quick and accurate. The third bedroom, as stated in the description is a "kids room" with twin size bunkbed. So, if you have older/taller kids this might not work. The house was clean and all of the basic necessities plus some, were available at the house. The outdoor shower did not work or had not been setup for the season, I hope that is updated for anyone that is planning on going to the beach. I would definitely rent this location again.

Perfect spot in Mid Cape...a quiet neighborhood close to beaches and bike/walking trails. The home is well equipped and Louise, the host, is wonderful and easy to communicate with. This was not our first stay, nor will it be our last...can't wait for our next es-cape!

Comfortable Home/Great Location

We chose Louise’s home because of it’s close proximity to our family. Besides the convenient location, we loved the access to all of the trails, which were literally in the backyard. The neighborhood was quiet but close to all of our favorite Cape destinations. The house was clean and fully stocked. We loved how easy it was to use the fireplace in the living room and spent our downtime cozied up with games or books. We would love to return and would highly recommend.

Lovely stay

The home is in a quaint neighborhood, quiet and with a wooded backyard. The trails behind the home are easily accessible, but sandy, winding, and with tree roots, easy to get lost and great for exploring. Location is perfect for visiting the island, beaches, and other cities. Nice local food market nearby and the kitchen is well equipped for cooking in. We think the Covid restrictions are perhaps outdated as host asks that we wash, dry and put away towels upon checkout, sweep and start the bed linens. The laundry is in an unfinished, cold basement, with wooden steps, so may be uncomfortable for some. Upon entry, the house smelled a bit “closed up”, and the decor is somewhat dated, but overall we were very comfortable and had a great stay! Thank you, Louise.
