outdoor shower

Nestled just off Main Street with the water as your backdrop, Poole's Cove is a lovingly curated escape that feels inspired and inviting. Every detail of this thoughtfully decorated home invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and truly settle in.

The layout is designed for both togetherness and solitude. The primary bedroom suite anchors the main house, while a breezeway connects you to a separate wing with two additional bedrooms and bathrooms — perfect for families or couples who want space to gather and space to retreat.

Step into a large screened-in deck and up to the rooftop deck, where water views, golden sunsets, open skies, and unforgettable stargazing await. When you're ready to unwind indoors, the upstairs office and library is a wonderful place to lose yourself in a good book.

And the best part? Poole's Cove has just undergone a complete top-to-bottom renovation. Brand new kitchen, floors, bedrooms, bathrooms, and furnishings throughout — plus significant exterior updates. The Poole's Cove you've always loved is now better than ever.

This isn't just a place to stay. It's an experience.
