Upon arriving at Halcyon by the sea, I googled the meaning of the word- Halcyon- finding it to be someway similar to the word nostalgia (but with an emphasis on peace and calm). Curiously, it also is the name of mythical seabird that makes it’s nest on the waves, and charms the weather and sea into perfect calm. Or at least that was my interpretation (feel free to fact check!). I’m not sure how to segue from that, except to say that Halcyon by the Sea had the same effect as it’s namesake- it was a charming little idyll. There is plenty of space in the house to find to relax, read, sit with your thoughts, or cook. The place is equipped with all the necessities of home (TV, equipped kitchen, decent sized backyard), as well as a fireplace, board games, puzzles and a billiard table upstairs. Stay in, or explore the area (the coast is a brief walk to the end of the street), it’s impossible not to be delighted by this place- thanks a whole bunch, Kate!
