Dennis, Massachusetts
Welcome to COMPASS ROSE COTTAGE ★ The Quintessential Cape Cod Cottage
Ideally located on a quiet street steps away from Flax Pond, and just over 2 miles to Mayflower Beach, plus convenient to all that Dennis and the Cape have to offer. Decorated with local art and pottery, along with antique pieces discovered in the area, this charming cottage is the perfect Cape Cod getaway.
A great traditional knotty pine cottage with inviting living areas highlighted with vaulted wood beamed ceilings, it is appointed with a fully equipped retro kitchen with breakfast bar seating and skylight.
The inviting living room space is bright and airy, and has a sleeper sofa with full size bed. There is a dining table for 4, and an additional sitting area to relax in.
The two cozy bedrooms are also tongue and groove pine paneled; one with a queen bed, the other with a twin bed. The comfy nook in the sunroom, with antique daybed equipped with custom mattress and box spring, is a wonderful spot to curl up with a good book, or to sleep the night away.
The cottage has one full bath with stall shower, a 32 Inch Hi Def TV , a second smaller Smart TV, Cable, High Speed WIFI, gas BBQ grill, wood shed with beach supplies, 2 bicycles, and 2 kayaks, and an outdoor deck with a dining area where you can sit back and enjoy.
There is a window air conditioner and tower room fans if needed, and a wonderful cross-breeze that usually comes through the many windows of the cottage.
A private outdoor shower with hot and cold water and separate changing area provides the perfect experience after a day at the beach.
The nearby beaches are perfect for young and old alike. Splash around in the bay beaches at high tide or explore the miles of tidal pools at low tide.
You can also choose to walk around the corner to secluded Flax Pond (cottage has deeded beach rights), which provides a nice alternative to sunny days at the ocean. You’ll love being able to kayak, canoe, sail a sunfish, swim, or float the day away, in the shady calm warm water Flax Pond provides. Take a relaxing walk through the miles of nature trails that surround Flax Pond, and discover the second small sandy beach on the other side of the pond.
Dennis offers 16 beaches including Cape Cod Bay, Nantucket Sound, and numerous freshwater ponds. There are 2 championship golf courses, and a charming village with many quaint shops, restaurants, ice cream parlor, library, The Cape Playhouse, Cape Cinema, art galleries, and museums, all located a few minutes away on historic Route 6A.
And let's not forget Captain Frosty's, one of Cape Cod's best seafood shacks, just a short walk outside the neighborhood, for some delicious fried seafood and chowder, or for a sweet ice cream treat!
We feel you’ll agree that Compass Rose Cottage is the perfect place to create your wonderful Cape Cod memories.

We loved the cottage, and the proximity to both Mayflower Beach and Flax Pond. It was great to be able to use the kayaks as well.
Our stay was awesome! The cottage was exactly like the pictures and everything about it was very accommodating. I'd definitely recommend!
The Cottage was cozy, warm and inviting. Great place to stay while exploring Cape Cod.
The house met all of our expectations, and we loved the location. We were able to walk to the pond, hiking trails, and even a few nearby restaurants. We especially appreciated having bikes available to use on the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Every communication with our host was EXCELLENT; always prompt and clear. We didn't love paying an extra $45 to use a set of sheets and like 3 towels, but we were repeatedly forewarned about that charge so that's on us.
Had a wonderful visit . Enjoyed some nice restaurants in the area but still able to do some cooking with shopping near by. What a nice place to stay.
The Compass Rose is an incredibly cozy and comfortable cottage. Our 3 year daughter loved exploring they toys and books in the cottage, and she especially loved the hammock outside. Access to the shed for bikes, canoes, beach chairs, etc is a big perk of this property. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Highly recommended for smaller families with young children.
If your looking for that old cape cottage feel this is it. Clean and easy rental.
Great place for a getaway!
We liked Carol’s and Gene’s cottage as soon as we walked in. Clean, bright, updated kitchen and bathroom. Very easy check in and great communication with Carol! We spent most of one day using the kayaks on Flax Pond, a very short walk. We walked with both kayaks but they also had wheels you could use to transport them the short distance . We enjoyed the nearby ocean beaches and went out to eat - everything was within a short drive. Would love to stay there again.
Cannot say enough good things about Compass Rose Cottage! Cottage was immaculate, comfortable beds with cotton sheets and lovely towels (plenty of them too!), kitchen well appointed an had everything needed to prepare meals. Restaurants close by. Location is great for easy access to all the Cape has to offer. Communication with owner is EXCELLENT and quickly responds. The pond down the street is an added bonus with everything you'd need given the great kayaks and bikes and chairs in the shed, not to mention beach towels. Wonderful! Thanks for hosting us Carol & Gene. Hope to return again!
A place for everything with room for what we brought and then some. I loved the quaintness and old Cape Cod feeling.
We had a wonderful stay in this cozy and well appointed cottage. The owners have thought of everything to make your visit to the Cape an enjoyable experience. The whole place was extremely clean with plenty of kitchen and bathroom products. NIce neighborhood , close to beaches, shopping and restaurants.
Everything you need. Great location!
We loved our stay and really enjoyed how close it was to both Plymouth and Provincetown. The beds were comfortable, the shower was beautiful and it was the perfect home away from home!
We had the loveliest time on the Cape. Staying at the Compass Cottage was wonderful. We are planning our next trip and will definitely stay at the cottage again. Exceptional! The Kellys
