This residential island is located in Buzzard's Bay, north of the Elizabeth Islands and Martha's Vineyard. Approximately half the island is a state conservation with nature trails and wild life viewing that eventually brings you out to the ocean. There is a town beach, with lifeguards, on the south side of the island. Also, on the protected side of the island, is a beach perfect for children, and within walking distance of this cottage. Or go across the street and enjoy the ocean side with sandbars to explore during low tide. It will take you 3 - 5 minutes walk to these two beaches. The town beach is about a mile away and has a fee at this beach
The island is connected by a causeway and has town water and sewer. There is a mariner within a half mile that includes a bar, food, and entertainment Wednesday through Sunday , supermarket, pharmacy, and restaurants are located within four miles.

The best for last. This cottage is special because it has an 8 x 12 foot screened in porch. It has a table, bench ,with two chairs, two other chairs, a chaise, and a wooden swing. The lighted clam shells at night along the ceiling adds to the ambience. Great for the times you want to be outside yet not in the sun, or covered from the rain. Also, no worry of insects at night. The house is also equipped with a front porch with two adirondack chairs.
We are so fortunate to now have many guests return to this lovely cottage. We begin to offer bookings in January and it is often booked by summer and we have to turn many away. Book your retreat soon.
