Short and sweet.
The definition - "make your point"
And, that is exactly what these little cottages do.
What's their point?
Simply, to provide a comfortable place to relax after a day on the beach.
Walk with me through my neighborhood to see a few of my favorite little cottages.
This little storybook cottage sits just 7 houses from the ocean
and is packed full of sweet details -
mullioned windows
keyhole archway at the front door
romantic turret
Don't you just love the three long rectangular windows and the tiny window at the top?
I picture overstuffed chairs and a window seat inside.
Right next door is a classic gray and white beach cottage.
Old friends live here and daily their home is filled with the chatter of their two precious grandsons while their mother is at work teaching with me.
Over twenty years ago, I made the lace curtains on all the windows.
A bougainvillea covered fence hides the patio of the shingled house sporting a red mailbox and a bell to alert the owners that guests are at the gate.
What's a beach house without a dolphin weather vane and a classic blue and white paint job?
A little gray cottage sitting at the entrance to our lane is a short term rental with guests from all over the world coming to enjoy sun and sand.
And, my favorite little cottage by the sea -
short on space, but sweet in character.
