Quiet ocean front cottage with views of Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge

Quaint New England at its best! Experience ocean-front, cottage living in a historic, two-story architect-restored barn. It includes modern amenities while featuring a high ceiling of original barn board, as wide as 22 inches, pine-board flooring and either tongue-in-groove or barn-board paneling. A front door foyer opens to stairs to the second story, to a rear bedroom with twin beds, and to a short hall that leads to a front bedroom with a double bed. A small study is off the front bedroom. Other first-floor rooms include the laundry and shower/toilet. The second story is a single large room. An expanse of windows in the kitchen/dining areas provides a sweeping view of the ocean. Large windows at the rear of the living room offer unparalleled, panoramic views of a Mousam River tidal estuary and of trees and marshes in the Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge. A door opens to a deck with chairs for leisurely observing wildlife and enjoying sunsets. A private driveway is provided, along with a large front yard. Two kayaks are available for use for exploring the Mousam River and the Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge marshes. Beach chairs are available for relaxing close to ocean waves in the private beach out front or a short walk to a beach. Linens, bath towels, and beach towels are provided. This weekly rental is especially suitable for a couple seeking solitude for contemplation and creative work or for merely relaxing at the ocean. We rent only on a Saturday to Saturday basis through the summer. Inquire about minimum of four (4) day rental for June and September.
