This house has the perfect spot to sit and watch the ferry come and go on the upstairs porch. There are three different beaches steps away for you to put your chair and read the whole afternoon. Jim's Dock directly across the street if you want a bite to eat (BYOB). So for a quiet low-key location it can't be beat.
If you are looking for any sort of entertainment, shopping, dining, ice cream or getting to the ferry you will need to drive, however, all of these things are an easy driving distance away. I found that my having my bike there was good but to get to anything you would need to ride on Rt 1.
The kitchen is well appointed with everything you could want - basic cooking necessities, spices, pots/pans, lots of serving bowls, foil, saran wrap and some zip-lock baggies as well. The house itself is nicely decorated with very comfortable seating both inside and out. For outdoor seating there are beach chairs available also! We ate at the backyard picnic table each night. Found that taking the leaves out of the kitchen table helped a bit with space for cooking - but put them back when needed.
Beds are very comfortable with room for guests if needed. Everything was clean and in good shape. Melanie has done a great job making this feel like a home. The photos don't do the actual house justice. I was so pleasantly surprised when we got there at how elevated it was. I thought it was a good value for location but feel like it was a bargain once we actually got there.
