A waterside retreat steeped in quiet beauty, coastal tradition, and small-town charm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking out over the Blue Hill Bay, this oceanfront Bungalow is one of those rare homes that feels both cozy and expansive \u2014 the kind of place where the days just feel longer, and the light is constantly changing, and the tide is your clock.<\/p>\n

The cottage itself is tucked into a private wooded setting within a larger family compound. Garden paths wind through beds of wildflowers and herbs, with quirky bits of yard art hidden like little surprises. A covered porch sits right at the water\u2019s edge \u2014 close enough to hear the tide lapping at the rocks \u2014 and is perfect for morning coffee, an afternoon read, or evening stargazing wrapped in a blanket.<\/p>\n

Inside, the home has a warm, lived-in feel. There\u2019s a spacious, open-style kitchen perfect for prepping local seafood, a dining area for lingering over meals, and a cozy living room with a fireplace. The bedrooms are simple and neat: one with a queen, one full, and one with two twins \u2014 ideal for families or friends.<\/p>\n

A short stone path leads to a small swimming cove (tide-dependent) and a dock, where you’ll find two kayaks and a wooden rowing dinghy available for guest use (waiver required). You can spend the day paddling around the bay, then head into the village just a half-mile away for lunch or supplies.<\/p>\n

The Bungalow is also just an eighth of a mile from the Blue Hill Country Club \u2014 great for a round of golf or a quiet dinner \u2014 and for hikers, the Osgood Trail up Blue Hill Mountain is a must for sweeping views of the bay and beyond.<\/p>\n

Rent it alone, or pair it with the adjacent “Bungalhigh<\/a>” for larger gatherings. A private mooring is also available with advance notice.<\/p>\n
