The Harrington’s cottage is splendid. He built it himself!!! It is sturdy and unique and the “tower”provides beautiful views and quiet.The driveway is long and shaded in June and provides a solitary walk through the woods. The lily pond was in its glory with thriving populations of frogs and dragonflies and much more. There’s a beautiful salt marsh -a favorite of ours - towards the back of the property. The area around the cottage and along the bay is woodsy and grassy, covered with a carpet of soft moss with mushrooms and small fungi volunteering. The bird watching was another treat with eagles flying past often.Each day the water would go out of the bay and clammers would let their boats beach. They’d spend the day poking around for the mother lode, and quietly leave when the tide came back in. Great neighbors! Splendid hosts!

ABSOLUTELY SPLENDID‼️ Peace, quiet and privacy in abundance -- and plenty to do in the surrounds if we chose.

Lovely place! Rod and Lucile were absolutely delightful and very responsive! Checked on us when Hurricane Lee was making an appearance!
3 things not in the listing:
No washer/laundry
While the view of the bay is beautiful you cannot really access the water … the tides do not permit.
They no longer have a Wi-Fi hotspot- which didn’t really impact us but fyi!

A great place to unwind. Watch the tide go in and out, along with the deer, turkeys and birds in the yard!
Clean, everything you need available. Confortable bed.
Truly feels like a piece of heaven.
