Overlooking the tranquil waters of Kelly’s Pond, this exceptional waterfront retreat combines sophisticated design with the relaxed charm of Cape Cod living.

KEY Curation Notes

Directly on Kelly's Pond, with a private dock and kayaks included. Swimming off the dock, launching kayaks straight from the property, and watching the pond at sunrise from the chef's kitchen — these are the moments repeat visitors point to. The water access is genuine and immediately usable.
West Dennis Beach is under a mile away. When you want ocean surf instead of pond calm, it's a short walk or quick drive, no parking hassle required.
The kitchen is the social center of the house. An expansive chef's kitchen with an oversized island opens directly into the TV area, sitting area, and dining room — the main floor flows as one big connected space. Multiple reviews note it as exceptionally well-stocked for serious cooking.
The lower level is built for kids. A finished basement with ping pong, a TV lounge, and a craft table gives younger members of the group their own zone. Combined with the bunk room sleeping five on the main floor and the half basketball court outside (convertible to pickleball with the provided net), this house earns its reputation as a multigenerational stronghold.
The master suite is a standout. Upstairs, the king master bath features a soaking tub with a picture window overlooking the pond, dual vanities, and an oversized shower — a genuinely elevated detail in a house otherwise oriented toward activity.
An optional garage suite is available as an add-on. A private-entrance king bedroom with full bath above the garage can be added for an additional fee — useful if your group is larger or wants more separation. Inquire directly when booking.
Linens and towels are not provided. Plan to bring or arrange your own. KEY.co can coordinate grocery and supply delivery before arrival so the kitchen is ready from day one.

Reviews

We thoroughly enjoyed our weeklong stay with our family. We spent our days swimming in the pond, rinsing off in the outdoor shower and taking walks to the sound. We like to cook and found the kitchen to be very well stocked. The views from the home (especially from the kitchen and upstairs in the master bathroom) are so calming. We also enjoyed playing games at the built-in table in the family room. We hope to be back soon!
