Perfect neighborhood
This cottage, built in 1955, is in a very sweet neighborhood with a short walk to an almost private bay beach. The beach is a short walk to the oyster farms, and there are tons of clams and oysters to hand harvest along the beach at low tide, if you feel adventurous! (Get a permit.)
The house is relatively clean (kitchen was spotless but bedrooms were dusty, and furniture is very old). Our family is happy with a “rustic” feel, and we like the old knotty pine. And frankly, if you want a house that is walkable to the bay, this cottage is a bargain. The upstairs deck was a lovely place to enjoy coffee in the morning, or a drink in the evening — if there is a nice breeze from the bay, there were few mosquitoes. Great propane grill, great outside shower, lovely flower garden, and a yard big enough to set up badminton!
The AC in the downstairs bedrooms worked to cool the first floor on hot, humid days, and the many available fans helped circulate the cool air. Washer and dryer worked well, as did the electric stove and coffee maker.
All in all, a sweet spot, but I strongly recommend some new furniture. Also, if you are a real cook, bring your own seasonings and a larger pot. There is a lobster pot!
