This is a lovely renovation in progress sited on a magical property. The views were spectacular, regardless of weather. We enjoyed watching fog roll in, sunbathed on the sun-drenched days, observed the starry night sky from the second floor porch, and celebrated the coming solstice watching the full moon rise above the water. We spent a quiet hour on the front porch enjoying three deer that wandered through the front yard, unfazed by us. The next day, watched a pair of bald eagles get chased around the property by a murder of crows. The rocky beach was beautiful. The entire property was quiet and private. The islanders we encountered at the Island Market were friendly and accommodating. This market provides quite an impressive stock of both practical and gourmet goods, and make the best pizza in New England (in our experience). A few safety issues that should make travelers aware of the surroundings, and maybe leave children at home until the renovation has progressed more: an alarming number of sharp nails poking through the down-to-studs walls in the master bedroom and some other areas, and a bit of a dicey and unstable cliff at the edge of the yard over the beach. The owners have provided ample warnings in the guest guide. Ground water (as we observed during heavy rain) is eroding the land, and some areas of the dirt cliff under the edge of the yard are concave. Some sort of safety fence is needed. It is important to note, though, that work is clearly in progress to shore up the cliff face, so maybe by the time you visit this won’t be an issue. This property has a well-appointed, fully renovated bathroom on the first floor. It is the only bathroom in the house, so if you need to use it during the night, you will be making a trip downstairs. The kitchen has good appliances and ample seating. Be aware that the cottage is well over a hundred years old, and inside it shows in a lovely, but rustic, way. In stating the rustic nature of the interior, I do not mean rustic decor. This property is in renovation. No construction materials present or anything half finished, but again, the interior walls are down to studs. It is pretty, though. Well-loved antiques are throughout, as well as heavy original windows with antique glass. The front room is dominated by a beautiful, probably original, fireplace. The exterior, including porches, are fully renovated. The owners left many thoughtful amenities, and were easy and pleasant in communication.
