Quaker Beach is great, but it is not suited for large groups. It is a small, private beach reserved for this secluded community. Absolutely no beach parties or loud music! Bluefin is perfect for family groups and friends, however, the neighborhood is quiet, with several year-round residents, and the serenity of the surrounding area should be respected and preserved at all times. Our cottage is available for rent, but it’s also our home away from home. Please treat it with care and leave it in the condition you found it. Thank you!

Please note our home is dog friendly and we do allow adding your dogs to the booking. We do require that dogs be crated when no one is in the home. If you are bringing your dogs, please add them to the reservation prior to your booking request. While the house is thoroughly cleaned after each visit, we still ask you to consider this If you or anyone in your party has any allergies to dogs.

Please note we do have 4 surveillance cameras on the outside of the property near the entrances. These are not monitored during your stay, but are active at all times.

About the Owner:
Our Cape Cod roots run deep! Brendon grew up in Sandwich. His father was born and raised in Monument Beach (Bourne). His grandfather owned and operated a charter fishing boat named the “Bluefin” - hence Bluefin Cottage. We were married on Old Silver Beach in North Falmouth. We have 2 teenage daughters and have spent countless summer vacations with friends and family on the Cape.

What Makes This House Unique:
Location! Nestled in a quiet neighborhood with access to the Bass River and a private beach and nearby boat launch, but only a short drive to ocean beaches, this house offers the best of both worlds. So spacious, yet still maintains that cozy cottage feel. Plus, for those who can’t bear to leave their fur babies at home, it’s dog-friendly (for a small fee)!

    We had a great stay at this property. Everything was clean and the house was beautiful and well decorated! The move room was a huge plus for the kids, and we loved having the lake nearby with kayaks and paddle boards to use. Would definitely stay here again :)

    Perfect Cape Cod stay. Centrally located so easy access to many of great Cape beaches and activities. The actual house was perfect! My kids loved the movie theater - we watched movie every single night as a family which added to our experience.

    Bluefin Cottage was so much more than the description provided on VRBO. From the open floor plan on the upper level to the entertainment center with stadium seating on the lower level, nothing was overlooked by the owners to make our stay memorable. The kitchen was as well equipped as my own. I didn’t even have to unpack my traveling knives! We were a party of 7, grandparents, parents and 3 children ages 7-11. They had more fun learning to kayak and paddleboard at the local beach with the equipment available to guests. The property is lovely and the temperatures allowed us to use the firepit at night. My grandchildren just kept saying, “This the best vacation ever!”, and yes, they’ve been to Disney. I really can’t say enough about this home and the owners who are there to answer any question within minutes. Thank you Cunningham’s for a wonderful time!

    The house is beautifully decorated and easily accommodated 6 adults and 3 children. We loved the movie room and outdoor space on the side patio as well as the propane fire pit area in the back yard. Our kids loved the supplied games and the 4 year old wanted to bring the lady bug game home with her 😅 We didnt find the time to swim at the private beach, but did walk down there a couple nights and it is a great spot! The house is not far from beached, shopping, great restaurants, mini golf, etc. If we go back to the Cape in a large group again we would love to stay here in the future!

    The house was beautiful and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. There was a wonderful private beach within walking distance. The neighborhood was quiet, but close to the many great activities the Cape has to offer. It truly was the perfect house for our family.

    We had a wonderful week at the Bluefin. The house comfortably accommodated my wife, our 8 kids and dog, and it felt special and luxurious. We had a great time walking to the nearby beach. The kids loved the kayaking and paddleboards and catching crabs was a huge hit. We also spent a few days at Mayflower and Corporation Beaches which were a short drive away and simply spectacular. I had to reach out to the hosts after a storm knocked out power and they were responsive and very helpful. We would highly recommend Bluefin!

    There is much to praise about our host and their wonderful home. From the road, the house seems understated but within it you will find a surprisingly open and inviting space. It is especially true of the living room and kitchen/dining areas which lead to 2 bedrooms on the same floor that feel like you are in someone’s much loved home. The living space that is the basement looks nothing like one - updated and clean living quarters that include 2 more bedrooms, a modern bathroom and a treasure of an entertainment room that becomes a great hideaway for any family member to enjoy TV, even an arcade game. Special note must be made to the owners who were a pleasure to interact with but also incredibly accommodating to our special needs. They are incredibly giving people by making sure we had an enjoyable stay. This was unexpected and consequently meaningful to us. The home is otherwise ideally located, close to beach front where one can swim, paddle board or kayak. It is well situated in Cape Cod itself and only two miles from its Rail Trail which we highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a bike ride. Much needed rest was found here as well as fond memories.

    Beautiful home and convenient location. We had such an amazing weekend, and fully enjoyed this home from the incredible movie room, to kayaking and checking out local fall and seafood festivals. House is so well appointed and there was plenty of space for us all to unwind. Thank you to our gracious hosts.

    This was our second year to stay at this property, it was better than last year with the additions. They have added mini splits and outdoor shower, very nice additions. This home is a very quiet neighborhood, great for taking our 4 yr, 18 month grandsons for walks and bike riding. When at the house we spent a lot of time on the covered patio relaxing and hanging out. The location is 5-15 minutes for anything you need or want. There is plenty to do in the area and we spent a lot of time at the beach that is a 5 minute walk from the house, the kids loved it. This location is also convenient to many beaches, restaurants, bike trials and playgrounds. Thank you Brenden and Meghan and we can not wait for 3rd years trip. My grandson keeps asking when are we going back to the cape house :)
