Owner's Response: I appreciate this lovely review and all the ones posted here. I will look into boosting the WiFi, but it is an on-going issue with Verizon. I use AT&T for my cell-phone service, and it has been generally reliable. When the President stayed in the house below us during the last three summers, Verizon put up a supplementary antenna. It sounds like we need one permanently to improve reception. The beautiful Brickyard Beach is accessible by car [5 minutes], or a fifteen minute walk down the path below the house will lead you through the woods to the beach. No doubt the walk is longer for some, perhaps I trot. Yes, the beach has many gorgeous rocks; it is terminal glacier moraine and the variety is stunning. But the beach also has sand on which to recline and there is much to explore. I like to swim long distance and the generally calm water of the Vineyard Sound is ideal for that and complements my other delight, which is riding the waves on the south side of the island, so come and enjoy our beautiful habitat. When I was on island in the early summer, a splendid buck grazing by the house greeted me each dawn.
