Hi Scott, I was pleasantly surprised upon entering your house in Brant Rock at what a lovely home you've made there for your guests. The house was spotlessly clean, nicely appointed and offered all the comforts of home . . . plus++++. Your location right on the ocean front didn't disappoint. I just happened to visit during a storm coming in from the North with super high tides (full moon), howling winds and rough pounding seas. It was a thrill. Once the storm passed, the surf and wind continued to be whipped up on the wild side. It was rugged stunning beauty at the dawning of each day with atmosphere, colors and reflections on the surf changing by the moment. I'm an artist and couldn't have asked for more.
The fact that, at this time of year, there is no water/beach access directly in front of your house was not a detraction for me at all. But for anyone coming to stay here with kids, it might be. However, there are plenty of beaches nearby if one is interested in beach walking. Duxbury Beach Park (open to the public) is a beautiful and safe beach that kids will love even in the winter. Marshfield Town Beaches are all open during the winter and accessible. Maybe there are temporary beach stickers available for town beaches during the summer for vacationers. (?) Something to check out.
Just a heads up for anyone with mobility issues. You'll have to be able to navigate 15 steps up to get into the house.
The Brant Rock Market is a short drive away. I liked the neighborhood vibe and the fact that they offer some locally crafted goods and have a deli where you can get sandwiches and the stuff to take out.
Within walking distance from the house is the Fairview Restaurant and just a bit further down the road are other "local" restaurants to check out.
Brant Rock has some interesting history to its name too, including The Brant Rock Tower and the The First Transatlantic Telephonic Transmission.
I'd recommend this place to friends in an instant.
Thanks Scott
an aside:
Scott, there was one thing that bothered me though. There was an industrial smell of some sort in the kitchen. I have a feeling it might be the polish/solvent used to clean the stainless steel appliances. Not sure though but it didn't diminish over the time of my visit. I lit some candles to try to cover it up. It's a minor point but it was notable.
