This rustic and charming New England style cottage offers the perfect summer antidote to a busy and hectic life. It is an unpretentious, simple house with wooden floors and walls, a large kitchen that seats 8 and a big dining room that seats 10 - though we have had as many as 16! The covered front porch is ideal for breakfast coffee or late afternoon drinks; the side porch is perfect for BBQ and lounging in the sun. Note: Rental period is May through Oct. and there is a 2-week minimum from June 15th to Sept. 15th.

Please note: As this is an older wooden summer house it is impossible to exterminate all pests over time. This means you will most likely find some evidence of mice and insects.

The cottage faces a fine 9-hole golf course and is a minute walk from 6 excellent clay tennis courts (groomed by staff). Three beaches with safe swimming, pier and diving board are a 5 minute walk; plus, the beach chairs are already there for you. There are safe paths and roads ideal for running, biking or strolling. There is even a camp for your kids!
