We are 2 families (brother & sister) who come together every other summer to Verity's home. We grew up summers in West Dennis and need to fill our need for our love of the Cape! There are 8 of us, 4 kids (19, 14, 13, and 11 this year) & 4 adults. We have been coming to Verity's for the past 5 years. This is our 3rd visit, and we wouldn't ever go anywhere else!
The home has so much history and is true "Cape Cod." The space is truly charming, unique and spacious! The bedrooms are all air conditioned and well stocked with bedding and extra blankets, bath & beach towels! The kitchen has everything you need to cook amazing dinners inside or prepare outside on the gas grill or the charcoal grill down by the boathouse/lake front.
The main dining room is huge! The table seats 8-12 and we have enjoyed many meals and played many games here! The family room is also very large with a vaulted ceiling as well. There are sliding glass doors on one whole side of these 2 rooms. There are skylights as well, all making these rooms bright and airy! There is a fabulous air conditioning unit up on the high wall that cools off these large rooms in minutes on a hot summer day.
We cannot say enough about the property! The lawn sprawls all the way down to the lakefront. This property has the best access to Scargo Lake by far! The lawn is wide open leading down to the beach area with a boat house that has all you could ever want! The boathouse has electricity, a bar, stools, life jackets, floats, fishing rods, and more. There are 2 kayaks, a canoe, and a fabulous Hobie sailboat! There are plenty of lawn and Adirondack chairs to lounge by the lake front and nice large tables to eat as a family and/or with friends to enjoy all the beauty of this property and Scargo Lake.
We never need to leave the property! We keep so busy swimming, boating, floating, playing wiffle ball, frisbee, bocce, and more! When we do leave the property, we head to the beautiful Mayflower and Corporation beaches which are just a quick drive away. We love to eat at Sesuit Harbor, Captain Frosty's, the Scargo Cafe, the Marshside, and more. There is Smugglers ice cream, a candy shop, a donut shack and the Dennis Public Market that has everything you need. The Cape Cod Playhouse is right up the street to walk to and see a fantastic play.
We count the months between our visits to Verity's beautiful home and property! We absolutely love it here! We will be back as always! Thank you, Verity!
