Dear Guests: 'House by the Sea' is a rare 1915 oceanfront home with incomparable Hawaii-like views, sugar sand beach, and beach stairs from our land. Carefully and captivatingly renovated to retain its rare antique detail, House by the Sea is located in a charming neighborhood of vintage homes with spacious lawn + gardens.
You'll appreciate luxury details like the Sub Zero refrigerator, 6-burner 4-oven English Aga cooker, central air conditioning, and elegant traditional Nantucket style decor. This home is ideal for unforgettable family vacations. (We have some families who have returned as many as five times.)
Enjoy broad oceanfront porches with incomparable panoramic ocean views. Our screened, oceanfront dining porch is enjoyable for your fresh seafood dinners. You can nap to the sounds of the surf, check email with WiFi on the lawn, relax in the Adirondack chairs on the lawn or the rocking chairs on the porch. There is a crushed stone patio with a gas and charcoal grills and teak English patio benches umbrella and chairs. You can watch the sunrise over coffee or catch a glimpse of the big dipper on a mild summer night. You would think that all East Coast oceanfront homes have dramatic moon rises and sunrises, but not so… you have to be in the right spot, facing the right way, to get these glorious spectacles of nature. This is the right spot.
The beamed living room with stone fireplace opens to a beamed dining room with wainscoting and a charming bay window seat overlooking the lawn and water. There is a wraparound oceanfront porch, glowing maple floors, antique wavy window glass. There is something special about seeing the ocean surf, bluffs, and beach through 100-year-old windows.
The cocktail/coffee pantry has wine glasses, a Keurig coffee maker + automatic drip (Mr. Coffee + French Press, and a stainless-steel 2-drawer drinks refrigerator. The well-equipped kitchen has the iconic Aga cooker (4 ovens, 6 burners, custom exhaust hood), 36'' stainless steel Sub Zero refrigerator, and honed granite countertops. Spices, condiments, and baking needs are provided, as well as ample quality cookware, dishes, flatware, small appliances, glassware, table linens, kitchen linens, spices, condiments, Generous starter supplies of paper goods, and laundry supplies.
House by the Sea has 5 bedrooms (all with ocean views) and 3 full (shower) bathrooms. You'll enjoy three private couples bedrooms 1) a queen, 2) another queen with bay window, 3) a king made of 2 singles, since we can't get a real king up the stairs.) 4) A full-bed open-sided room on the same floor, with ocean view, railing on one side, and 5) bunk room with two bunk beds plus a single bed so the room sleeps 5 kids, or an adult and 4 kids, or all adults nutty enough to sleep in bunk beds.
The first-floor full shower-bathroom has a step-up (it's an antique house) and contains a 4-foot shower and is the location for the stacking washer dryer. The second floor has two bathrooms. One has a subway tile shower with octagon tile floor and classic antique-style (but modern technology) exposed thermostatic shower valve and shower head. The third shower bathroom is newly renovated in March 2018 with shower and pedestal sink.
From the vantage of House by the Sea sits the arc of the beach, and the bluff looks like a scene from Hawaii. There are 3 flights of 30 steps down to the beach, two landings with catch-your-breath built-in benches. On July 3, with magnificent fireworks rising from the beach, this is possibly the most spectacular place to be within 2000 miles.
