Back to nature—-an Island artist’s cottage… This distinctive island cottage was a new listing last season, owned /managed by a HomeAway ‘premier’ host. It is located approx. 2 miles from town & Crescent beach, 1 mile Walk to gorgeous, westside beach-nestled in a beautiful, natural setting on the Island’s west side, away from the summer crowds! The cottage has 2 cozy bedrooms which sleep 4, each has one full-sized bed (there is an additional twin XL daybed on the main floor for flexibility purposes or an occasional extra guest) & rents from Saturday-Saturday— so if you are planning on bringing a car, we suggest booking a reservation on the boat for your vehicle as soon as possible. This special property borders on 2 large areas of preserved open space (Turnip Farm & Nathan Mott Park) & miles of magical greenway trails- (accessed just outside of the yard)-offering inspiring daily doses of beauty & adventure! The Turnip Farm’s golden grassy meadows, which are steps away, are a glory to behold in the afternoon sunlight. Trails connect with Rodman’s Hollow Preserve, Black Rock, Fresh Pond, Turnip Farm & Nathan Mott Park (Enchanted Forest) to name a few. There are also several delightful 20 min. rambles down the road to the quiet, sandy/rocky beach coves of Cooneymus & Dorrie’s Cove. Enjoy magnificent sunsets & super-starry night skies!This cottage itself exudes a bit more ‘magic’ than your typical rental…personally furnished, well-appointed & comfortable, offering a variety of communal gathering spaces as well as cozy nooks…On the first floor guests will find a sunny, well-equipped eat-in kitchen w/ new dishwasher, fridge, vintage stove & walk-in pantry. Gas grill & outdoor dining table are situated just outside the kitchen door.
