The Basics:
Cozy Cape Cod Cottage literally 100 steps from Glendon Road Beach with access to private beach on Old Wharf. The house has beautifully refinished antique pine floors throughout and freshly remodeled kitchen and baths! The kitchen adorns new stainless steel appliances, farmhouse sink, subway tile back splash, antique butcher block island, and various other elements of modern farmhouse decor.
The living and dining room have subtle gray and white painted ship lap pine paneling. A flat screen 50" TV, wifi, cable TV, internet cable, and DVD player allow guests to stay connected while the large farmhouse table can seat up to 8 for a nice hearty meal. Additionally, there is two sets of outdoor patio furniture to enjoy a meal outside.
There are two bedrooms, one upper level and one lower. Both tastefully decorated and remodeled. Memory foam queen beds, painted ship lap paneling, barn style closet door, and unique lighting allow for a comfortable nights sleep.
The house has 2 freshly remodeled bathrooms, equipped with Toto Eco Friendly toilets, rainforest shower in the upper, antique clawfoot tub in the lower, both adorned with stenciled ceramic tile floors and subway tile shower surround.
You walk down the stair case and enter the lower level to find another great room with pull out sleeper sofa and a twin over full bunk bed. There is a 2nd flat screen mounted over the mantle so the kids have a TV of their own on those occasional rainy days.
The house has 4 window unit air conditioners, dehumidifier with built in drain pump, as well as forced hot air heat which allows guests to keep temperatures regulated and comfortable no matter the weather.
The large front yard and fire pit are a wonderful pass time for evening socializing and relaxing. The house is a stones throw from famous Sundae School as well as other wonderful restaurants like Kreme N Kone, Swan River Restaurant and Fish Market, and many others. Yarmouth is a 10 minute drive packed with mini golf, water park, bumper cars, and much more for the kids (and young at heart)!
Below is a fun little narrative I put together. Feel free to read along and envision yourself on vacation at The Adventurer in Dennisport!
The Story:
You have just traveled to Cape Cod for your long awaited summer vacation. You timed it right, and the traffic wasn't too bad. You exit the highway using 78a (formerly 9a) to Dennisport and travel the 5 minutes drive to the shore. You see the famous Kreme N' Kone in front of you. The house is just a few streets away off of Old Wharf. You turn into the driveway of the quaint cottage. ''The Adventurer'' the quarterboard reads. As you exit your car, you can see and hear the ocean. The crisp salt air greets your nose. You kick your shoes off and walk through the lush green grass up to your home away from home.
The electronic lock grants you keyless access to your getaway retreat. You open the door and are greeted with antique hardwood floors, farmhouse chic decor, ship-lap walls, and much more. The kitchen to your right has just been renovated with new cabinets, new stainless appliances, granite counters and farmhouse sink. You drop your bags on the antique butcher block island and are very happy with your rental selection. You head towards the back of the house where you find a beautifully renovated bathroom adorned with subway tile surround, rain forest shower, stenciled tile floors and beadboard walls. The air conditioners are doing their job and keeping the house a cool 65 degrees.
You pass through the rustic antique door into the ''Shoreline'' room to find a brand new memory foam queen bed. Your friends will stay in the ''Simply White'' room downstairs where they also have a brand new memory foam queen bed. The kids are excited to sleep on the twin over full bunk beds. The multiple sectional sofa's ensure a comfortable place to relax.
In the front yard is a Cape Cod fire pit and Kloter Farms Adirondack chairs. A Sound Dock connects your phone via blue tooth and allows you to stream your favorite music. You realize being by the beach you have like ZERO service, so you log into wifi and can now be reconnected- but only if you want.
So you have settled in and want to get to the water! Simple, head down the driveway and take a right. Walk exactly 100 steps. You will be on the sidewalk of Old Wharf. You can take 10 steps to your right and access the private beach using the walking path at 141 Old Wharf. Or if you want to people watch or have a larger area, you walk 30 steps to your left and are on Glendon Town Beach.
Now you have spent the day on the beach and are ready for some food and dessert! After all, that's the best part of vacation, right! Right down the road is Swan River Restaurant. If you feel like having a cookout at the house, they have the freshest seafood in town! If you aren't in the mood to cook they have a nice rustic restaurant right on the beautiful Swan River. If that's not your style, there are many other favorites nearby! Check the basket on the book shelf next to the fireplace for my personal favorites.
Now you are stuffed from a great dinner and need to satisfy that sweet tooth! Look no further than the famous Sundae School. Its less than a mile from the house. They have hands down THE BEST ice cream on Cape Cod. My favorite is 2 scoops of pistachio with marshmallow sauce and burgundy cherries! But be patient- the lines get a little crazy in the summer time. I promise you, it's worth the wait!
I hope you enjoy your stay at my house. I have tried very hard to put together an ideal summer getaway. I love hearing from my visitors, so please sign the guestbook, and any comments or suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks for reading!
