"Wits End", overlooking the Atlantic and white sand beaches in Madequecham, was originally built in the 1950s as a family's oceanfront getaway from the hustle and bustle of the island's town. After three generations of ownership, the property was purchased by the current owners, who, over several decades, lovingly and with attention to detail, transformed the original cottage into a home of quiet luxury while embracing the original vibe of a summer oasis, with swimming, beachcombing, surfing, hiking, and fishing all located out the front door. More than ever, this home embraces the original sense of oceanfront retreat. The property is exceptionally well-maintained and is being offered furnished, less artwork and personal items.
