We stayed with my family of six and my brotherâs family of five and it was the perfect set up! The house is divided into two sections so itâs great for multiple families, with a shared kitchen and dining area. Being right on the river was fantastic. We kayaked everyday and the kids caught crabs and shrimp off the dock. They also had cornhole which was fun. The kitchen was well stocked with all we needed, the deck was beautiful and a great place to hang out. The house was super clean and homey. We loved every minute!
The house was a great space for multiple families. There were plenty of rooms, bathrooms, ACs, tables, and seats. We loved being able to all fit at one table inside and out! We also had a puzzle table set up for the whole week and still had ample table space. The kitchen was well stocked and the grill was used. Access to the water and use of paddle craft were fun. No lifejackets were provided, so I'm glad we brought our own. While we appreciated the bug-free yard and maintained landscape, we did not appreciate two landscaping companies and a pest controller coming on three separate occasions to work on the property without prior notice. After the 3rd company arrived, we contacted the property manager, but received little sympathy. In addition, the cleaning crew walked into the house an hour before check out, so we weren't quite packed up and they started anyways. The last critique would be there is a second house on the property that was not mentioned in the description. It's a small cottage that shares the driveway and water access. While the guests stayed to themselves, it was unexpected to see men outside the kitchen window when we had teenage girls walking around the house and yard in bikinis. We felt the discomfort and surprise could be avoided if this info were disclosed on the posting and on the paper with all the house info hanging in the kitchen. In our haste to leave, we forget a pillow there and the host mailed it to us in a timely manner. Overall good stay.
Beautiful Home with more than enough room for all of us.
We visited earlier this month and enjoyed our stay. Everything from the house, the location, communicating with the owner and the beautiful views of the river was everything we wanted. The house was perfect for my family and my sisterâs family. The deck overlooking the river was gorgeous and a great place to enjoy dinner altogether. This house is perfect for two families to vacation together.
We enjoyed our stay at the Cape. Plenty of room in the house. It was very clean. Nice back yard deck as well as stone patio with gas fire pit. Dock in back on the river was a great place to enjoy morning coffee and nature watch. Great location.
Mother Nature sent a tornado our way, a little scary but all was safe and no damage to the property. What was refreshing was how the owner kept in close contact with us throughout the ordeal. The size and location of this house was perfect for what we needed!
House was great. Plenty of room for all. Great location near beaches restaurants mini golf. Our kids had a great time with the boats on the river. Would recommend this to anyone. It was a great time

We loved your spaciest house. Well appointed and clean. All of us had a great time and will have fond memories of Grand Maryâs place for years to come. We will return! Thank you!
Our family gathers every summer fora Cape vacation. After outgrowing our previous rental, I was so happy to find this lovely home situated on Swan River. The owner was accessible and answered all my questions immediately. Upon arrival we were all so pleased with the layout, cleanliness and beautiful setting! The house had everything we could have needed- just perfect for our family!
What an absolutely beautiful place!! I brought my family here to celebrate my motherâs 80th and my two daughterâs birthdays 40 and 30! My mother has been coming to the Cape since she was 14. My sister and I went there as kids, and I brought my kids there when they were young! We couldnât have had a more perfect place to celebrate this past week!! Hope to be back soon!
This was our second stay at the property and we really enjoyed our stay. The location right on the river is perfect for enjoying water sports. We utilized the provided canoe and kayaks to explore Swan Pond. The owner was very responsive when we had a minor issue with equipment for the canoe and kayaks and were overall great to work with.
The layout of the home was great for our large group of seven. There are two separate living areas and ample dining space indoors and out. I recommend this property for a lovely stay on the Cape.
The house layout was awesome. It allowed 3 separate family groups to each have their own space while also allowing for 2 large gathering areas.
Outdoors, the deck and patio were perfect for our large group and the availability of kayaks and a canoe were a big hit. Youngsters learned to fish and catch rock crabs from the dock, something I'm sure they will long remember. We also appreciated the close proximity of beaches, shops and restaurants.
My family and I, 11 people in all, needed a large home and this house was perfect. We had stayed there before, so knew it would fit our needs, but were pleasantly surprised by some of the upgrades, especially the deck and fire pit. It is a big, very suitable home with everything a family needs to be comfortable and enjoy the beauty of Cape Cod.
What a wonderful property. By far the best equipped property we have rented on the Cape. The property is just as listed and the Host is great to deal with , very responsive. We had 7 adults and 6 grandchildren and had plenty of room to spread out. The location is ideal, close to many beaches and lots of activities for the kids. Two wings on the house with separate bedrooms gave each family their own space. Plenty of common areas in the middle, Large deck and yard completes the house. Would gladly stay here again.
We had 13 people staying at this lovely and super clean home. The configuration of the home lends itself to having two large families staying here since the bedrooms are on opposite wings. The home has two family rooms each equipped with very nice furniture and large TVs. The bedrooms are configured so that adults donât have to sleep in bunk rooms but have actual Queen or King beds. There is one bedroom with its own en suite. Thereâs a wonderful large deck looking right out on the Swan river with it own very nice dock. The home is well equipped with paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, and bikes. Also, the kitchen is large and extremely well equipped with newer appliances and a newer Gas range - all Whirlpool. A new Webber grill is off the deck. We absolutely loved staying here and the owners are the very best! They keep the place immaculate!! We highly recommend this wonderful home!! We will certainly be back!!! Love, love, love it!!!
We loved the layout of the house, which is divided into three sections, so families could be somewhat separate, as far as making it possible to go to bed and wake up at different times without disturbing everyone. The location on the river with all the paddleboards, kayaks, beach chairs, etc. in the shed was perfect!
Great home, large and roomy with plenty of everything you may need. Great fishing off dock and kayaking, the firepit was a wonderful extra. Layout of home was great, kitchen was fully stocked. I can sum it up in three words... Family, Fun, and Love.
We had a great stay at this house. Enjoyed the access to the Kayaks and Canoe. Used them everyday to row down to the beach. Saved on parking and easy access.
We stayed with one other family (8 of us total, was supposed to be 13 but the third family couldn't come due to the pandemic). The house was large, clean, decorated nicely with a lot of beachy themed rooms. Dorothy was responsive and easy to communicate with. We spent a lot of time using the canoe, kayaks, paddle boards, etc. Great place to stay!!
Good sized house in great location. Our party was 6 children (4 to 15) & 5 adults. Very handy for both local amenities and touring rest of Cape. Wonderful to sit on deck in the evening overlooking the Swan river & watch the wild life over the marsh. Amazingly very little problem with bugs!
Fabulous property. Location right on the Swan river allowed us to take out our kayaks and paddle boards easily ( although there were some on the property for use as well). The two living rooms made it easy for our group to spread out so the young adults could play games and be a bit louder. We loved being able to eat breakfast out on the deck and we enjoyed the fire pit in the eveningsâespecially the sâmores! Quick trips to get to the grocery store or to attractions. The West Dennis beach was lovely with close parking, warm water and no worries about shark sightings. The rail trail was close so we could ride directly there. Dorothy was very easy to communicate with and was very quick to reply to messages. Check in and check out was a breeze. A wonderful find!
We always have loved Cape Cod. A very special place to enjoy the beach and family company. Many wonderful memories on the River which we would love to share with you. We haven't rented for a few years even though we had many regulars come year after year. Two of our children have relocated to Cape Cod and purchased their own homes therefore making it unecessary to have this big house to ourselves.
