The Cabins
The Gull
One room, closest to the water. Wood-plank floors that creak in the right places. A window above the bed that you can open with one hand, and a small porch that faces east so the sun wakes you up before anything else does. Sleeps two. Best for a quiet couple or one person who needs a week.
The Tide
Two rooms, a bit more space. An old claw-foot tub that takes half an hour to fill and is worth every minute. Outdoor shower around the side with hot water and a view of the dunes. A reading chair that has been here longer than anyone can remember. Sleeps two, or three if one of them is small.
Low & Slow
Set back in the pines, fifty yards from the water. The quietest of the four by a wide margin — thick walls, small windows, a wood stove that will outlast all of us. Best for long stays, deep sleep, and anyone who came here to finish a book or start one. Sleeps two.
The Porch
The biggest cabin, and the one families ask for. A wraparound deck, a hammock on the west end, a row of hooks on the east end for wet towels and damp coats. Two bedrooms, a pull-out in the living room, a kitchen that can actually cook a meal. Sleeps four comfortably, five if two are kids.
