Our experience renting this cottage was nothing short of perfect. The views from this property are truly gorgeous, and we spent so much time simply sitting on the deck enjoying coffee and breakfast (from the General Store!) or reading in the afternoon. The beautiful landscaping, wildlife (deer, birds, butterfly, etc), water views, and serenity can not be beat.
The cottage was very comfortable for our group of 5. I am 8 months pregnant here with my husband, my older parents, and our 12 year old son. The downstairs is handicap accessible, complete with roll in shower/bathroom. One caveat: the stairs to the second floor are steep; I would consider bringing a baby gate and watching closely if traveling with small children.
The house was FULLY equipped with everything we might need; in fact, it was better stocked than most rentals we have encountered. Trash bags, toilet paper, every kitchen appliance you might need, games, books, abundance of towels, hand soap...you name it, they have thoughtfully provided it. There is a small TV in the living room and a DVD player which we enjoyed in the evening watching a family movie. There is wifi throughout the house, though I am not sure about streaming speed - we didn't really test it, and brought DVDs with us. The house had fans in the rooms, but the open windows caught wonderful breezes in the evening and we were comfortable without AC. The house was spotlessly clean; no beachy mildew smells here!
The location is not to be beat. Very close to the General Store, Lucy Vincent, Squibnocket, Menemsha, etc. We also had access to an incredible private beach accessible by key a little further down from LV. We were the only people there when we went, and it was spectacular.
The cottage is next to the main house, and the family who owns it is incredibly kind and generous. We felt lucky to rent their home. They were very responsive to my (numerous!!!) questions and made us feel so welcome in renting their home. We just learned it is booked up for all of next August and are devastated as we would return in a heartbeat.
We feel so fortunate to have spent a week at Lovey's!
