Beach Sanctuary

I returned to Davis Park after 20 years away in order to finish writing a book needing a quiet getaway in nature. I chose this house on 4th Walk at the end of the community so that I could walk the empty beach towards Water Island daily or walk the other direction for miles past Watch Hill into the great beyond of National Seashore. I also liked being strategically between the beach and bay, able to hear the surf at night, access to colorful, long sunsets over water on the bayside. I was able to kayak way past the community both ways, bird sanctuary, floating grass islands, quiet labyrinth of salt marshes. The house was perfect for my family. The kitchen was easy and functional, well-stocked for every need. The dining area was a lovely screened-in nook that my kids loved to gather in. The rooftop deck was secluded and completely private encased in green holly trees. The front deck was comfortable in the mornings and refuge out of the sun. The living room and master bedroom were spacious with high ceilings. The owners were attentive and gracious meeting all needs. The neighbors were lively and friendly. The beach was empty in the mornings and during the weekdays- glorious! I was able to commute back and forth easily into NYC to work driving or taking the LIRR. The ferry schedule was not very convenient and local shopping always rushed. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives, and look forward to returning again. I avoided the Casino Bar and Harbor Store preferring to carry in and cook my own food.
