Sconset vintage mansion ON bluff- direct to beach
Steps to village + more beach
This unique home has been in the Wade family for over 80 years. The largest of the charming and historic Wade cottages, originally built as a family estate. This is the second season that the main building has been open for vacation rentals. It is particularly suitable for multi- family vacations, family reunions, retreats [including yoga, meditation, writing and art] and other special occasions. There are 9 bedrooms [7 of which are ocean facing] and 6 baths. One bedroom is downstairs and the other 8 are upstairs. Two of the bathrooms are downstairs and 4 are upstairs. The great room boasts a grand piano- always tuned, and a working fireplace. This grand space has huge picture windows with sweeping views of the Atlantic ocean. Also on the first floor is a dining room, a den, and an en-suite bedroom [a newly renovated bathroom], complete with it's own ocean facing sitting room. The kitchen [with a butler's pantry] has brand new appliances. French doors open to a wide deck with a sizeable outside dining area. Upstairs there are 8 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms. Included in those is an en-suite king bedroom and an office/ sitting room. The expansive lawns extend to the edge of the bluff, [where there is a private firepit behind the hedged in gate] and lead to the stairway that take you directly down to the beach. There are 3-4 off street parking spaces. The house and grounds are close to the village of Sconset, a short walk or bike ride away. This enchanting hamlet is host to rose-covered cottages, a local market and ice cream shop, restaurants, a children's playground and an island shuttle bus to town. The Wade cottages include an additional smaller home on offer to rent. Both houses together and the expansive grounds can provide a lovely backdrop for group gatherings and special occasions.
The location was lovely inside and out, and ideal for a large group. We enjoyed sitting out watching the sunrise, taking in the beautiful weather, and watching deer and rabbits in the yard, as well as the easy access to the bluff walk and beach. Short walk to coffee shop and restaurants in the area. Check in and out was straightforward, excellent communication from the host, who was very pleasant and helpful with any questions I had. The kitchen was well stocked with every type of glassware, dishes, utensils, everything for hosting a large group. The beds were all comfortable and bathrooms well stocked. We all enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.
Extraordinary in every way imaginable. The house is terrific, the location unmatched, and scale afforded the opportunity to gather all of our favorite people.Allison was great! She was responsive and helpful in our planning. The house was well stocked, very clean, and perfect for our large group.
So close to the bustling Village of 'Sconset, Wade Cottages are tucked away on the bluff overlooking the Atlantic ocean. It is truly an extraordinary setting!
