Svargaloka, built in the 1800s, is Sanskrit for Land of Paradise.
Situated on a small bluff its breathtaking views of the ocean and its central location make this house a perfect beach getaway. It's minutes to the beach via the Sconset footbridge which is a stone's throw away. Svargaloka is located in the heart of Historic Sconset where there is a post office, liquor store, three restaurants, 2 art galleries and a market. It even has its own lighthouse, Sankaty Light. The village is famous for its rose covered cottages and has been a destination for artists for generations. Wander the lanes and alleyways and be astonished by these quaint little houses and their beautiful summer gardens.
Svargaloka has been recently upgraded with a new kitchen, refinished antique floors and freshly painted walls. In the evening watch the the moon rise over the ocean from the privacy of your own back yard. During the day relax in the sun to the sights and sounds of the beach without leaving home. Come and experience paradise.

Owner's Profile
Why the Owner Chose Siasconset
Svargaloka has been in our family for several generations. An early descendent, Eva Channing, was a linguist and she was studying Sanskrit in the middle east when she received a letter from Sconset telling her of the new trend to name houses. Her response was ' oh, svargaloka'.
The house has been a year round residence for the past 30 years. We have decided to follow in the tradition of our mother and grandmother by putting it on the market as a summer rental. It has provided many happy summer memories.
