Description

Up the Creek'' Privately nestled in Madaket's idyllic Smith's Point, this aptly named cottage looks out over Eel Point, Madaket Harbor, and the boats and activities of Hither Creek. From this delightful cottage, one can enjoy the sounds of the surf, glorious evening sunsets and easy access to the island's Ocean and Harbor beaches. This bright and sunny summer home is just minutes from great swimming, boating, fishing, and crabbing as well as Madaket Millie's restaurant. Great rental history and expansion potential add to the value of this very special property. Brokered And Advertised By: Windwalker Real Estate, LLC Listing Agent: Jennifer C. Shalley

Actually 497% above the national average.. the cost increases every day and is displacing locals on a regular basis.. it’s a huge problem that currently does not have a practical solution.."
