Steps to Two Private Beaches
Wauwinet Vacation Rental - ID 15587

This is our family's summer home which was built by my parents in 1968. We have rented the house for decades and most of our renters have been coming for years.

What is special about this property?
It it is located in Wauwinet on an isthmus between a the bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It is as close you can get to living on a boat and still be on land The house was designed for a large active family and can accommodate a lot of people despite being 2,000 sq. feet. It has two bedrooms with double beds - one a master with a connected bathroom - and two bunk rooms, each with three built-in single bunks and a loft be that sleeps two. The rest off the house is a an open living/ kitchen/dining area with windows that look out across the bay to the town (and the ocean when the dune is not built up). The house is a simple open-stud house and is designed for people who love the beach and ocean. Because the house is oriented East/West one of the beaches is always protected.

What is special about your town?
The house is located in the village of Wauwinet which a has about 20 homes and a discrete hotel called ''The Wauwinet'' which has a nice restaurant and bar. The village serves as the entrance to a huge stretch of National Seashore and land in trust. To enter the village you either have to be a resident or have a 4-wheel drive vehicle with a permit that allows you to access the 15 miles of beaches beyond our house. There are tennis courts available from the Hotel.
