Unexpectedly large for a 2 bedroom, the cottage sleeps 8 comfortably in four different quarters. The covered front porch is an inviting place to have conversations with neighbors passing by. 10' ceilings, numerous French doors and generous windows with transoms allow sunlight to fill the cottage. The interior speaks comfort and easy living with beach chic furnishings; over stuffed sofa, matching love seat, sea grass chair with ottoman are complimented with accessories and prints from local artisans. The extended mantel of the wood burning fireplace is perfect to display a collection of your favorite seashells. Hardwood floors have been used throughout the cottage. The newly updated kitchen features ceramic tile floor, new cabinets, fixtures, appliances and is fully stocked for preparing family meals and is adjacent to the dining area. A recently enclosed screened porch now doubles as a media room with sleeper sofa. Host your family picnics or barbecue on the back deck. Ascend up the open stairway to the second level. The spacious master bedroom is privately located at the rear of the cottage. French doors with balcony overlook a wooded park. The guest bedroom with two queen size beds is located on the front of the cottage.
