1891 Coastal Charmer: fully renovated farmhouse

Although built in 1891 this farmhouse has been totally renovated by a professional designer. The Cottage is filled with coastal colors and accessories so it feels fun and updated but still retains the feeling of walking into a well loved family beach cottage. We are pet friendly as any beach cottage should be and love seeing our guests and their pets enjoying the cottage. Follow the cottage on social media @ BlueOysterCottage for more pictures, design ideas and local places to visit.

Upon arrival you will first enter into a well appointed but charming kitchen with a custom recycled glass island perfect for prepping or serving meals. All the appliances are new including a gas range. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook breakfast , lunch or an elaborate seafood feast from the local waters. There is also a well stocked coffee bar perfectly placed to grab a cup of coffee as you head out onto the porch. Also in the kitchen you will find an enclosed washer and dryer. The kitchen opens up into the large dining area which features a gas fireplace. This is a little tricky to operate so we ask to show you in person if you plan on using the fireplace. The table seats 6 and is perfect for enjoying meals, games or working on a laptop.

The comfortable and cozy living room features a smart TV which will let you log into your personal streaming services and watch your favorite shows. The cabinets are filled with an extensive collection of games , puzzles , and books. There is a small sitting room on the other side of the entry hall with a twin daybed and closet. The daybed is filled with comfortable pillows and is perfect for naps, quiet reading, or as extra sleeping space.

Upstairs are 2 bedrooms, each with vaulted ceilings, decorative fireplaces, and lots of period detail. The larger room has a queen bed and the smaller has full size bed. The fluffy beds, soft colors and fabrics, and sun filled windows overlooking the private yard make you feel as if you are staying in a charming bed and breakfast. Tucked into the hallway is a window seat which seems to be our pet guest’s favorite spot. The narrow and steep staircase is original and adds to the quaint charm of the space.

There is a full bathroom with a tub and shower on the main floor. In the bathroom is a closet with extra towels and necessities. The 2nd floor has a half bath accessible from both bedrooms. There is an adjoining dressing area with mirror for putting on make up. Additionally there is an outdoor shower ( soon to be enclosed) and sink perfect for washing off or cleaning your catch after a day on the water.

The house features a large screened porch with vintage metal furniture including a dining set and the perfect napping glider. Curl up with a good book or a cocktail while enjoying the coastal breezes or watching the beautiful sunsets. This seems to be a favorite spot for all our guests who always comment on how they love looking out on the beautiful and peaceful surroundings and even how soothing the sound of a rainstorm is on the porch’s tin roof.
In the garden shed you will find a Weber kettle for grilling up your catch as well as croquet, badminton, and horseshoes to bring out everyone’s competitiveness. End the evening around the fire pit roasting marshmallows and enjoying the multitude of stars overhead.

New this summer we will offer guests bay access just a few doors down the road( about a 100 yards ) We to offer kayak or SUP access and a small fishing and crabbing area.
