Artist/writer's simple, painted wooden cottage sits right behind the dune on Hope Town's quiet and beautiful sandy ocean beach. Totally private, it is surrounded by silver buttonwood, Hawaiian sea grape and palms.
There is a deck for outdoor eating with table, four comfortable chairs and a large umbrella. Two Adirondack chairs are perched on the dune from which to watch the sun rise over the ocean.
The cottage has an enclosed dining porch; bedroom with queen-sized bed; shower, W.C. and clothes storage area; and a den with TV, video and CD players. The newly fitted kitchen is four steps across the deck in a separate building. It has a full-size gas stove; large fridge with freezer area; microwave; toaster oven; and stainless steel double sink with Corian-type work surfaces. There is also an outdoor shower, and area for clothes drying.
There are ceiling fans in all rooms, and the bedroom has an air-conditioning unit, which is seldom needed because of ocean breezes. Everywhere is hand-painted and colorful. This is an idyllic, secluded beach retreat full of character, yet only one minute's walk from Vernon's Grocery and all the amenities of the settlement.
Unless it is high season you will generally have the beach to yourself. Fall asleep to only the sound of the ocean. |
