Bus Trip Rates:
Please read the next section regarding a Cape Cod Hotel Option:
- Single Occupancy: $5,099
- Double Occupancy: $3,699 per person
- Triple Occupancy: $3,249 per person
These rates include 3 nights of lodging at the Pelham House Resort in ocean-view rooms. "Few hotels in Dennis Port, Massachusetts, bring together authentic Cape Cod style, coastal chic décor, and casual ambiance like the Pelham House Resort. Situated just steps from our private beach, our accommodations offer beautiful views of Nantucket Sound. Our recent renovation has left all rooms sparkling and fresh with gorgeous walk-in showers, air conditioning, deluxe bedding, and sophisticated yet comfortable furnishings. All rooms and suites feature private ocean-view decks and thoughtful perks like complimentary Wi-Fi, microwaves, mini-refrigerators, Keurig coffee makers, and HDTVs." Learn more about the Pelham House Resort!
Bus Trip Cost for optional Cape Cod Hotel:
We also have some rooms held at the Pelham on Main Hotel. This is a sister hotel to The Pelham House Resort, about 1.5 miles away. The Pelham on Main has no ocean view, but its 27 rooms provide a quiet retreat from Dennis’s shops, restaurants, and museums. A complimentary shuttle runs between the two hotels, and this is where our chartered bus will be parked. For those wanting to save money on your Bus Trip Cost, we have seven rooms with two queen beds (this is all that is available) and four rooms with one king bed. These are a first come, first serve option once registration opens. Learn more about Pelham on Main!
- Single Occupancy: $4,199
- Double Occupancy: $3,249 per person
- Triple Occupancy: $2,949 per person
Note: From experience, we do not offer quad occupancy. We have many early mornings and found guests are much more comfortable when 4 of them do not share the same bathroom to get ready.
