From the master bedroom at 5 am

Imagine doll chair occupants enjoying the spectacular sunrise! Even better - you enjoying it from your pillow in the master bedroom at this angle.

Up a winding drive...

This ocean view 3-bedroom house will be on the vacation rental market for the first time this spring. Easily accommodating eight people, the home's main living area is on the upper level in order to take advantage of water views from nearly every room. This blog chronicles some of the preparations and changes made to make this a great rental.

A good spot

Our beach is a few steps to the right. This is the landing at Snow Shore. Coast Guard Beach is in the distance.

Our neighborhood beach

Just around the bend from the shore walk, the beach is almost as inviting in late November at low tide as it will be in summer with a high tide.

Shore walk

The house is the higher one, the one on the right. Tree removal has made it more visible

Master bedroom

The family gathered on Cape Cod for Thanksgiving, which included such activities as tree moving, log splitting and firewood stacking. And for me, window dressing, bedskirt making in the main level master bedroom.

Late afternoon

The setting sun lights up the barrier beach - as seen from the deck. 

The beach is just a 15-minute paddle away.
