About this property

Our grandparents purchased this traditional beach cottage in 1952 from a family that lived in it year round. Subsequent improvements do not successfully hide these simple origins. No granite countertops, no TV, this is a refuge from the modern world. But the kitchen and smaller bathroom were completely renovated in 2013. The cottage is 75 yards from the bluff and path to the Surfside beach, the best beach on the Island. Water views from the deck, kitchen and living room. One bedroom has a queen bed, two have double beds and the fourth has two sets of bunk beds and a slew of children's' games and toys. There is a small playhouse for kids. One full bathroom and one half bath and a delightful outdoor shower. Endless hot water (not, of course, that you would fail to conserve water). Forced air heat warms you quickly on cool foggy days.

Great location dingy cottage

Hosts are very nice and property location is great, but condition of cottage is dingy at best. We arrive to find old and new cobwebs and spiders everywhere. Spent the better part of our first day cleaning so we could stay. Host did respond to our email right away by email and phone and did refund our cleaning fee. Furniture is stained and cottage needs a serious deep cleaning.

Great location!

We spent a fantastic and relaxing week here with our four adult children. The location is ideal. The home owner and property manager were instantly available for the very few minor things that came up in the beginning of our stay. We definitely plan on a return trip next year!
