Dennis, on Cape Cod, offers classic New England beach living—wide sandy shores, salt marshes, scenic bike trails, local seafood shacks and quaint village centers—making it an appealing, active base for multi‑week assignments with plenty of outdoor recreation and low‑key cultural options.
Hyannis is a short drive for ferries and more dining/entertainment, and Providence or Boston are both reachable within roughly 1–1.5 hours for museums, airports and bigger weekend options.
