The drop-dead gorgeous view from the second floor porch is truly what makes this home stand out from all the others. You can sit on the porch and look out over Katama Bay and shoreline and not have to go anywhere else -- you are on vacation ! In fact, the entire second floor offers beautiful, scenic views with windows all around. We found it fascinating to sit there during a rain storm and watch the lightening show. As you might have guessed the house is an upside down design. The second floor, as you prob have gathered, is really special. The first floor is clean, tidy, and nice but the second floor steals the show. The first floor deck is also spacious and most of it is shaded, which is great on really hot days. We found our host, Erica, to be very helpful with a few little things that came up. The kitchen area is tight but completely workable. The dining area is great with a plenty big table and there's a glassed in alcove with a smaller table where my husband liked to have his breakfast and read his book. One of the nice things about this house is that there was space for the seven us (including a toddler) to hang out comfortably together or go off on our own for some alone time. Running out of space but want to mention: Walking up the sandy road to breath-taking Wasque with its crashing waves, swimming in the pond at Wasque, watching the ospreys and the sandpipers, riding bikes down to the ferry, visiting East Beach, taking outdoor showers, etc.
