Christian's cottage is lovely and very comfortable. The outdoor shower is great as is the upstairs deck. There is a beach, a short easy walk on a path through the back of Christian's property, where we enjoyed a ramble almost every evening and we also explored a number of beaches within a half hour's drive. We were there off season so no fee after labor day and no crowds.
The bathroom includes a washer/dryer and the kitchen is well supplied to make your own or there are several good restaurants we tried within 15 minutes drive. Manutuck Oyster Bar was our favorite and there is good take out ice cream 5 minutes from the property. If you love to read there is a library where everyone should be able to find material or a video/cd movie you happened to miss right at your fingertips upstairs. The gardens are wonderful as well, trees older than your grandma, twisted and formed by the sea into wonderful beings and hydrangea everywhere.
You can't help but have a good time!
