This is my dream cottage -- rustic, cozy, warm, throwback type of cottagey cottage, with wood and books everywhere and a fantastic, working, big old stone fireplace. The best part -- it's right on the water, which you can happily gaze at from the screened in porch, the kitchen, and the living room on the first floor and two of the bedrooms on the second floor. Sandtrap takes you back to a simpler time but still has all the amenities and power outlets and lighting and supplies you would need. We checked in the night before a huge nor'easter was predicted so were worried our five-night stay would be pretty much ruined. It wasn't at all! We hunkered down with other family members and had a fabulous time, and the few momentary power interruptions actually made it fun. (Fortunately, the weather did clear after two days.) The host was terrific and very accommodating; messages were answered promptly. If modern luxury is your thing, maybe look elsewhere. But if you're like me and my family, this will be your dream cottage. (Note: we brought our own TV as there wasn't one provided. Hope that was okay. If not, we are busted, lol.)
