This 3-bedroom, 2-bath, Cape Cod-style house is in a wooded, secluded location -- under a green canopy of some of the largest trees on the island. Yet it is very close to town -- only 15 minutes by foot and 5 minutes by bicycle (an enjoyable walk or ride, because it is almost entirely along the bayfront). The house is at 621 New Colony Road (which is actually a private lane), over toward the West Shore, and close to the harbor, although it does not have a harbor view.

It sleeps eight people very comfortably, and we do limit the occupancy to eight. There are ceiling fans and window fans, and the forest keeps the place nice and cool even on the hottest days in the summer.

On the first floor are a complete, all-electric kitchen with range and refrigerator, coffemaker, microwave, and a washing maching & dryer (no garbage disposal or automatic dishwasher); living room; a large bedroom and smaller bedroom; and a full bath with tub/shower. (The large bedroom has two set of bunkbeds, and the smaller bedroom has a double bed.)

On the second floor is a large room with a twin bed and a queen-sized bed, and bathroom with shower.

We've put in new living room furniture and added three decks in order to enjoy the beautiful birds and animal life that visit us -- our favorite it visits by Millie, the island deer.
