For two summers in a row, they rented next door to Gill, in a house actually owned by Gill. One day during their first summer, when I was walking, I met them and invited them to a party. They live in Toronto and had come to visit their friends, the owners of The Morton House, who had lived right across the street, before relocating to Nova Scotia. They seemed to become family. Last year they came to the cottage, along with their very nice son.
This Sunday at The Morton House concert, they were there and invited us to cocktails at their new rental, complete with a small map with directions. Yesterday was the day.
Talk about a house with a view!! This year Gill's house was fully booked, so they rented from the Internet on a web site where owners enter the data. No licensing, just a description and a price. Their new rental house is right at the end of Summerville Beach and the house is one hundred feet from their very own sand beach. It is a glorious place but not a house I would enjoy in a storm. We had often observed the homes along the beach from The Quarterdeck, but never knew how to get to them. Now we know that you drive on River Head Road, right off #103, and find these isolated lovely homes, which are great to rent but would never wish to own. It was wonderful sitting on the deck drinking a glass of wine, just a few feet from the high tide. Truly, a home with a view.
