The Red House on the Sands has a spectacular view of Sands Cove where you can sit and watch the lobster boats come and go. Just a half mile from the ferry, this little house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms and can comfortably sleep 4-6 adults (due to the close proximity to the water and the street, this property is not recommended for children under 8). Just a short walk or bike to town or Lawson's Quarry, you can put your kayak or small boat in the water right here, or simply sit and read a book. You can grill and enjoy dinner on the outdoor deck.
