Great house, location, and owner
We had a great time at this house, even though it was the off-season (March) with cold/windy/rainy weather. We cooked, played games, walked, hiked, and rode the bikes. The house is an easy/short walk to the beach and into town. An easy two miles up the street is the Cape Cod Rail Trail. We were three, but the house easily accommodates a family of five with two bedrooms on the first floor and two twin beds in the attic bedroom.

Great week at Starfish Cottage
The Cottage had all the accommodations needed for our vacation on the Cape. Plenty of room in the house for the five adults and two young kids, well stocked with the everyday necessities. Close to the beaches, restaurants, shops and of course ice cream. Backyard well furnished with chairs, fire pit, hammock and outdoor shower. Quiet area to spend a relaxing week.

Amazing location and fantastic property!
We had a blast at Starfish cottage! Two couples and two kids (ages 9 & 12) who absolutely loved sleeping upstairs in the loft. This place is fully stocked for all your beach vacation needs. Everything comes as advertised and the location is walking distance to anything you’d need in Dennis Port. The outdoor shower make for a stellar touch as well.

Relaxing at Starfish Cottage
My family had a wonderful, relaxing vacation at Starfish Cottage. We enjoyed excursions either walking to the beach or riding on the bikes provided for our pleasure. The weather was perfect allowing us to take advantage of the fire pit and hammock in the backyard. The oversized picnic table was was a great place to enjoy food, family and long conversations into the night. We all had a fantastic time and hopefully we can return soon. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. ❤️

The cottage was cute, clean. Not a fan of plastic bowls and plates. The bed frames need to be updated. MA weather is on the dam side, there were 2 days of rain during our stay; the cottage feels dam. Over all, we enjoyed and made the best vacation for the rest of our week in MA.

We enjoyed our stay. The home is situated on a dead-end street. Quite quiet, except for the occasional loud guests at the inn behind the property. The home itself is wonderful. Kitchen is stocked, comfortable beds, couches, and chairs. Aruna is a high-quality host. 10 min walk to the beach. Close to the shops of Dennis Port. GG

Mouse, Ants, Clogged Toilet Oh My
Mouse, Ants, Clogged Toilet Oh My!! When we first pulled up to the house I was shocked I had just paid seven grand for a week for this "camp ground" setting. The property is on a sandy hill, looks run down, no grass and across the street there is a house in disrepair with siding a trim missing from around the house and a front yard full of weeds. Worse of all there is another rental property in the backyard. There is no privacy as the front door of this other rental unit looks right into the backyard of this place. The firepit and outdoor shower are in full view of the "neighbors". We were very excited for our return to The Cape for outdoor showers and nightly firepits. Well we did one of each as we were the show for the other unit. I would characterize the area as a bit dumpy or camp grounds like. It was a 15 min walk to "downtown" and 15 min walk to a end of street beach - the width of the street. If you wanted a wider beach it was more of a 30 min walk. We arrived just after 7pm on Sunday night and had the impression I just detailed above. I reached out to the owner, she responded very quickly to my request for a reduction/refund of fees. She did offer me a refund for all nights I hadn't stayed yet but gave me until 10 am the next morning to be out of the place. Now finding a new rental in 15 hours in Aug on the Cape is an impossible task so we had to stay and I was worried if I pushed any harder that we would be out on the street so I didn't say another word. However; it was a bit off-putting to be told how good the ratings are and if you don't like it get out in 15 hours. So we kept our mouth shut and over the next week experienced a ruined Cape Cod vacation and son drop off at college. Over the week we then got to experience a clogged toilet where we were now waiting for a handyman to come and fix it (again the owner responded very quickly). Then I ran the dishwasher and quickly after the kitchen counters were covered in ants. The kicker was on Sunday when I came face to face with a mouse that ran to the oven for cover. The entire family packed up on Sunday at 3pm and left a day early. Worse Family Vacation Experience Ever!! Just so there are positives, the owner had beach chairs, and bikes, and the house was themed nicely. She was quick to respond again

Exactly as listed. The cottage was perfect for my husband and I and our baby with room to spare. The home and yard were lovely to spend time in with some local cousins. The location was excellent, easy walking distance to beaches, a park and plenty of food. Great and friendly correspondence with the owner. The only detail that made this a 4 star rating instead of a 5 star were the comfort level of the bed mattresses.

Beautiful Starfish Cottage
Our experience at Starfish Cottage was exactly what we’d hoped for. Very clean, pretty and comfortable. The owner added so many thoughtful touches, such as a beach cart and chairs, 4 bikes, a fire pit, and many books and games for the occasional rainy day. Great location, too - easy walk to town and to beaches. And the owner was very responsive when we had a question. We will definitely return or rent from this owner again.

I visited Starfish Cottage with my daughter, who has severe disabilities, and our golden retriever. The cottage was amazingly comfortable. Everything inside appeared new, including the very comfortable mattresses and the large, luxury washer dryer. There were lovely touches everywhere I looked, like little twinkly lights adorning the fireplace. I would definitely recommend a relaxing stay at Starfish Cottage!
