We are thrilled to announce that Ocean Dream Beach House has been designated as one of 'Canada's 25 Classiest Cottages' . The article lists the top cottages from coast-to-coast that redefine the concept of recreational.
Ocean Dream Beach House is a truly treasured summer home with the best and safest (no cliffs) access to its white sandy beach directly off the property grounds. Designed to make for easy and comfortable living, the kitchen, dining and living room are combined into a 30'x30' area with a 14' high pine ceiling. The furnishings were selected to please the eye, but also to invite you to put your feet up. Over time, unique island antiques, paintings and objects from well regarded island artists have been added.

The abundance of French windows makes the living area bright and offers the fresh ocean breeze throughout. From almost every area in the home, the ocean can be seen and heard, presenting truly breathtaking views. At night, privacy is assured by décor window shades (black-outs in the bedrooms). The thermostatically controlled fireplace makes the home warm and cozy on cooler nights while also adding ambiance. Comfy couch, big easy chairs with ottomans, rocking chairs - it’s all good! There’s a large plasma screen with HDTV satellite programming, VCR/DVD all tucked away in an armoire. Forgot to bring a book? We’ve got some. Satellite music choices not enough? Play our CDs. Chess, cards, games for old and young kids are all in place, as are binoculars, a putting matt and a metal detector - for our beachcombing friends.

The completely equipped kitchen includes all the essentials, along with a dishwasher, garbage disposal and microwave - everything that makes a house a home. The two master bedrooms have high coffered ceilings and two windows looking out on the ocean. Each has a queen bed, pillow-top mattress, armoire, chest and a chair. These bedrooms also boast in-wall and very quiet air conditioners. The third bedroom has twin beds, pillow-top mattresses, an armoire and chair. The fourth bedroom accommodates sleeping quarters and office space with a double day bed and single trundle bed (high speed satellite connection, printer/fax/scanner).

Indoors and out join on the home’s oceanside, where a completely screened deck with 10' wood ceilings span the entire front. One side is given over to al fresco dining while the other is devoted to comfort lounging to read, listen to music through the deck speakers, gaze at the ocean or the stars or the hummingbirds, hawks and eagles – yes, eagles. Walk a few steps over the lush lawn to the dune’s edge where Chesapeake chairs await your contemplation of the ocean and its sea life. The large lawn provides an area for sunning and games, including horseshoes and badminton.

And finally, the large capacity hot water heater is big enough to allow all the baths to be used at once, with the dishwasher thrown in for good measure. The water is filtered to remove sediment and purified by ultraviolet. Hair dryer? Yes. Giant plush bath towels? Of course. And separate beach towels...Your memories are waiting!
