This gorgeous private rental sits directly on the Childs River, an estuary that flows to Vineyard Sound. The lower-level apartment is ideal for one or two people and offers its own separate entrance, in-yard parking for one car, and a stone patio overlooking the river.
Bright, uncluttered, and freshly appointed, the apartment has white-painted walls, white ceramic tile floors, and grass woven area rugs. Recessed lighting and table lamps enhance the natural light streaming through four large Andersen gliding windows that face east and overlook the river—perfect for watching the sunrise, spotting boats heading to and from the public boat landing or private marina, or simply relaxing with a book or computer.
