The starfish cottage was great for our group of 3 (plus dog). Perfect location to show 2 West Coast visitors a variety of Cape towns and activities. Aruna was super helpful, and provided a list of places to eat and things to do. We would definitely return to this location.

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

This house is wonderful, has everything you need, very clean, updated, and cozy. It has a great backyard. It is close to beaches and great restaurants. The property manager, Aruna is so helpful - answers questions quickly. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it highly.

We really enjoyed staying at Starfish. The cottage was cute and the decor was perfectly themed. The location was amazing and the host provided us with a comprehensive list of things to do in the area.

We were able to walk to beach, restaurants, ice cream. Park nearby with tennis and wide paths for walking. Located on a quiet dead end street. House was well stocked with almost anything you would need. Backyard has nice fire pit and large picnic table. Beds were ok. There were 5 of us. Would have liked more comfortable seating in the living room. Host was quick to respond to any of my questions. Would stay again! .

Small gem at the end of a quite road. Aruna the owner of the home was super organized with details accommodations and suggestions. We used the fire pit played games and walked the Dennis beaches. The kids did parasailing and jet skiing . They rode the bikes and walked to ice cream Highly Recommend for relaxing and a quite trip.

This was our second time staying at the Starfish Cottage and it was just as perfect as the first! Such a beautiful home and so close to so many great places for my family. Aruna is such a wonderful host. We’ll be back!

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.

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.

This was a perfect home base for a busy weekend. Cute as a button. Easy to find, nicely decorated, and well equipped. The owner was responsive and communicative but never intrusive. The sparkling fairy lights over the mantel and soft music playing in the kitchen were a wonderful greeting!

This cottage was close to everything for first-time Cape explorers! We had a car for dinners out, but we were able to walk for coffee and to the cute beach nearby. The cottage was clean, and our family loved the games provided for a rainy day. Thank you! We hope to be back to this property or another one of yours soon!
