The space
Sleeps 5 (1 queen, 1 full, 1 twin)
Rose Cottage was once a small horse stable. The cottage now consists of a large room divided to provide a smaller room that houses a "working man's" twin bed. During the winter of 2014, a separate cottage (8x10) was completed, Lil Rose giving Rose Cottage a very private second bedroom. In the main space there is a Cape kitchen with a 4-burner stove top and 1/2 refrigerator, a table for 2 or 3, a queen sized custom platform bed, comfortable couch, stereo TV and DVD player, wi-fi, and lots of windows on the surrounding foliage which includes black pine, olive trees and wild beach plantings. A fireplace was added to Rose Cottage, enhancing its off season ambience! Rose Cottage now works well for a maximum of a couple with two children or an occasional guest but should be "family." There is a Queen size bed, and a Twin bed in Rose Cottage and a Full size bed in Lil Rose. There is an inside shower room and a bath room in Rose Cottage. An outside terrace features deck chairs, a picnic table, a charcoal grill, a very private outdoor shower, and a permanent fire pit. Although a dune blocks Rose Cottage from having a bay view, you can hear the surf at night and a private path puts you at the top of the dune in less than a minute. The cottage is fully insulated, the interior has been completely finished in 18th century barnboard painted white, and is fully heated. It is comfortable year round.

Guest access
You'll have access to a private beach just seconds from Lil Rose, shared only with guests of the other two cottages.

My work: Various Endeavors
Speaks English
Your host is an entrepreneur in the arts who has spent the last 40 years traveling internationally for business. While his stateside base is most often New York City, he has taken every opportunity in his travels to seek refuge in quaint European villages. His appreciation of these historic havens was a great part of the inspiration for Lis Sur Mer.   Lis Sur Mer was originally an exclusive family compound and retreat until 15 years ago when he began opening it up to visitors. With Lis Sur Mer he has created a storybook compound renowned for its privacy, romance and renewal. Built from the fruits of the sea and recycled building of past centuries, inspired in part by the  concept of the famous artist dune shacks of Provincetown, the aesthetic is a French fishing village  mated with Old Cape Cod. Visiting Lis Sur Mer is an adventure in escaping modern frenzy and McMansions, getting back to the basic joy of natural beauty with extraordinary gardens, awe at every vista, and total cultural refuge. At the same time high speed internet and HD TV quietly co-exist. There is no place on Cape Cod like Lis Sur Mer. The word most often used to describe Lis Sur Mer is “magical” … Bring your inner artist.
