Pond View~ Abuts conservation and walking trails. There is fishing at the pond

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. Or take a walk along the abutting nature trails which lead along the pond and abut a golf course and conservation land. Enjoy a canoe ride and fishing on the pond or one may wish to swim to the beach on the other side. In season blueberry picking and catching polliwogs are a favorite. 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.

A Perfect Getaway

It was perfect just like all the other times and I am sure it will be perfect next time too. It’s quiet neighborhood, only a few miles from the bayside beaches and very central to lots of fun activities. House has everything one needs and more. Look forward to another cape escape soon!! Thank you Louise!!

This was the perfect cozy spot for a winter getaway. The fireplace lights with a switch and instantly warms the whole area. This owner has everything you ever needed, and the decor is so pretty. Two thumbs up for the Swagulls Neat!

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!

The Cape is best in winter in my opinion and places like this are perfect to take advantage of the off-season. Everything was as advertised and we were very happy with our stay!
