Originally built in the 1800s as a fisherman’s shanty, this traditional cedar-shingled building has since been restored into a peaceful waterside sanctuary – it's the perfect setting to relax, reflect and listen to the soothing sound of the sea. Inside, the owners have honoured the integrity of the space whilst integrating a range of vintage and handcrafted furnishings – each with its own story and tale from travels near and far. The result is a home filled with charm and character. And from the moment of arrival, you’ll want to pause and savour the unique atmosphere of this setting. From the New England styling and soft lighting to the mesmerising views and cosy textures, every detail has been considered to enrich your stay with comfort and ease. Open the doors from the living room and you’ll find the floating deck inviting you to embrace the fresh salty air with a quiet morning coffee, or later with golden hour drinks. And when the weather draws you back inside, you’ll find the rooms provide a cosy escape – welcoming you to slow down and savour the simplicity of heartwarming conversations, reading, cooking and sharing delicious meals around the table. Stepping outside, you’ll find it's... just a short walk to the nearest stores and restaurants. Days can be spent on Madaket Beach, walking barefoot in the sand, enjoying lingering picnics and watching the sunset across the horizon.
