Neighborhood highlights

Kellys Bay is a short walk away & there's a neighborhood beach offering tables to enjoy. A few minutes from the home is a peaceful conservation area with stairs leading to the bay. You can walk the conservation path from the beach to steps during low tide. In addition, a few streets down the Dennis Town Landing is a great (somewhat secret) place to unload the provided kayaks or your own boat. Free parking year round! There’s a map in the binder at the house.

The bay opens up to the popular Bass River, which leads to West Dennis Beach or Bass River Beach by boat. In warmer months it’s a popular waterway enjoyed by boaters, kayakers, paddle boarders & all; It can absolutely enhance your vacation. Close to walking & biking trails!
