Main House
The main house stretches along the bay, allowing for many spectacular water views and lending the house a feeling of transparency. Bright morning light pours in across the water from the east and gentle golden light filters in from the west in the evening.
The main house has 10 bedrooms and sleeps up to 16 people. There are five bathrooms: one half bath; two bathrooms with a shower; a bathroom with a tub-shower combination; and a bathroom with both a shower and bathtub. There is also an outdoor shower, and in summer, almost everyone showers outdoors because it's such a treat!
Most of the first floor is an extended living space which includes a dining room, the music room (a living room with an old piano—fun for kids, disappointing for a concert pianist, a bay window overlooking the water, and French doors that open onto the formal garden, and a TV), the sunporch (a spacious living room, with a wall of full-length windows overlooking the water), a third living room organized around a big working fireplace, a pantry, and a kitchen that opens onto a cozy breakfast patio under a chestnut tree. There is also a wood-paneled bedroom with its own entrance, two sweet and simple bedrooms in the original "maid's wing," and two bathrooms—one a half-bath and one with a shower. There is also an outdoor shower. Finally, a dead give-way of our vacation priorities: a massage room, complete with massage table and large doors opening onto the garden.
Upstairs are bedrooms and more bedrooms. Two with King beds and one with a queen have stunning views of the bay and ocean beyond. Overlooking the walled garden to the south is one with a single bed and one with two twins. Looking over the property to the west is a queen room and another single bed room.
