Our vacation week was described by one of the locals at the grocery as "the worst fog we have had since 1973," however, we had a fantastic week in spite of the fog and occasional rain.
The water was cold at 55 degrees, but our 4 teenage grandsons swam and fished every day. The water is crystal clear. There is soft sand on the beach, but also a lot of smooth interesting stones and rocks. Good water shoes made walking comfortable, and the chilly water was quite refreshing!
The house is as beautiful as it appears in the pictures. We spent a lot of time in the sunroom playing games and listening to music. There is a nice sound system to which we easily connected our iPhones and there is a big screen TV that, in spite of the weather, we never used. If you love to read, you will find multiple sites in the house to sit and relax with a good book.
The kitchen is well stocked, and the owners provide a huge pot for lobsters to cook outside. Highly recommend Mother Shuckers for fresh lobster!
One of the highlights of the week was watching bald eagles around the pond area. One day we saw an eagle swimming across the pond. Hard to believe, but it looked like it was doing the breaststroke. It pulled itself up onto a sandbar, and clearly had something caught in its talons that turned out to be an unfortunate bird. It was quite something to watch. Enough said about that...
We had a wonderful week in spite of the weather so please don't hesitate to book this beautiful place!
