This majestic oceanfront house on Long Island Sound can only be described as an historic delight. This property has been in our family for generations and we take great pride in maintaining it as an old-fashioned summer house but with modern amenities.
The house has five large bedrooms, most with waterviews. The living room and dining room are spacious and inviting. Relax on the front porch and the screened-in side porch with cooling ocean breezes. Drift off to sleep listening to the sound of the waves. Just steps away from a beautiful sandy beach in a private beach association. The house has a large front yard that is perfect for children to play in.
This house has given my family wonderful memories and we would love to share it with you and your family.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
"The Big House" was built in the late 1800's. My grandparents bought this property in the 1940's and started renting it for the summer season. Every summer they would save two weeks for my parents, sisters and myself to have our vacation. I have so many incredible memories of playing on the beach, exploring the marsh, collecting periwinkels and mussels in a pail and swimming all day in the beautiful Long Island Sound until we were waterlogged. Then we would have a barbeque outside or go out to eat seafood, go for ice cream at Mapleshade and the next day start all over again.
