      Charming Cottage w/pool- in the highly desired settlement

      A Hope Town Settlement Icon

      Nestled in the historical settlement, Clifford Sawyer House is the result of construction that began in 1868. This was the home of Elizabeth Sawyer, the granddaughter of Wayannie Malone. Hope Town was founded in 1785 by Wayannie – a widow from Charleston, who fled the United States with her four children for safe refuge from the Revolutionary war. Today, the Clifford Sawyer House is considered to be one of the very first homes built in Hope Town and stands as a testament to an age and style gone by. Picket fences, porches, and clapboard accents make it a prime example of quaint and colonial architecture. The house has been completely renovated in 2021, but still maintains much of its charm and decades of history.

      This adorable vintage cottage is designed with high-end furniture and features throughout. Great efforts have been made to provide modern conveniences while respecting the original character and charm. Guests will love the dipping pool nestled in the lush backyard setting. The home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood on the settlement’s north side. Just a short 1-2 blocks stroll from the beach, harbour, shopping, restaurant, bike rentals, and incredible views of the landmark lighthouse.

      The Property includes 4 total bedrooms and 3 baths in the following layout:

      King-size bed in the main bedroom, Queen-size bedroom in second bedroom, and 3 full-sized built-in beds in the loft. The separate studio includes an additional Queen-size bed, bathroom, and kitchenette.

      The home features central HVAC, smart TVs in each room, Wi-Fi, and an up-to-date kitchen. Ship-lap walls, custom cabinetry, and large showers enhance the cottage feel. There are also 3 porches to enjoy the views of the manicured yard and park.

      Outside the home, guests will love the beautiful dipping pool, which is surrounded by a lush garden and the ocean waves in surround sound. The yard is fully fenced, giving you a sense of seclusion and privacy and includes a grill for cooking out. There is a fully enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water, great for rinsing off after a day at the beach. The home is located across the street from Taylor Park, which is a bonus for kids.

      Perfect in every way.
      From the VRBO website, we were not surprised by the loveliness of the property. We also expected it to be on the smaller side. What we didn’t imagine was how each bedroom/bath could be so private in a smaller home! The layout is genius. The location could not have been better - a stone’s throw from the ferry dock plus such a walkable area. We experienced trouble with our water pressure, but Maxwell showed up within 30 minutes of our call and corrected the problem ASAP. We do so hope that we can visit again and most certainly, we plan to revisit this charming cottage!

      Fabulous Vacation with Adult Family members
      We enjoyed one of our most memorable vacations ever thanks for the incredible hospitality and the beautiful, charming, historic Clifford Sawyer home. My husband & I were joined by one of our older son's and his wife, as well as one of our college-aged son's and his long-time girlfriend. We had ample living space and beautifully appointed bedrooms, including one separate studio adjoining the property for our married son. It was so close to everything, and the stunning Atlantic Ocean is less than a 200 yards away and is a delight to listen to in the evening while sitting on the side covered porch. Can't recommend this home enough!!!
