We had our desired two weeks in the Cottage at Red Point, our third consecutive year renting a place that more than fits our very specific amenities (and/or lack thereof).
Books - old and new - covering nearly every subject are placed everywhere, as are a myriad of treasures collected by the generations of the families who have grown up there.
The three bedrooms all have magnificent views of the Bay beyond the scattering of trees; watching the sun rise from 'my' bed had me up and outside, debating on whether to 'chill' on the deck (overlooking the Bay, of course), settling down in one of the 'nooks' at the edge of the rocks, or wandering along a trail that rivals the nearby Holbrook Island Sanctuary.
We love the living room, which runs the length of the front of the cottage, also offering unbeatable water views. A large fireplace, with a seemingly endless supply of firewood, adds a crackling ambiance in the evening.
We love the fully equipped spacious kitchen and the wonderful long table with a view of the dock, through the woods.
The owner stopped by at the end of our stay, as usual, to see how everything was, and we gave him a glowing report and expressed our hopes to rent next year.
It's a magical place.
