Beachfront Cottage on Old Bar’s Quiet Shoreline

The ocean sits directly in front of this home, filling the view before anything else comes into focus. Set just above the sand in Old Bar, this two bedroom, one bathroom beachfront cottage offers uninterrupted sightlines across the water, with waves forming the constant backdrop from the moment the door opens. Light moves freely through the interiors, guided by the horizon beyond the glass. The air carries the sound and presence of the sea without obstruction. The setting feels open yet contained, shaped by space rather than scale. The experience settles quickly into calm.

The main living area is oriented entirely toward the ocean, allowing the view to remain present throughout the day. Seating is arranged for conversation, reading, or quiet observation as the light shifts across the water. A wood burning fireplace adds warmth on cooler days, while the kitchen supports shared meals without excess or distraction. The flow between living and dining encourages time together, whether indoors or stepping outside between courses.

The primary bedroom faces the sea, offering soft morning light and a continuous connection to the shoreline. The second bedroom accommodates family or guests comfortably, maintaining a practical and restful atmosphere. Furnishings are simple and considered, prioritizing ease and rest.

Outside, the lawn extends toward the beach, creating a rare sense of openness and immediate access to the shoreline. A fire pit and outdoor dining area support long afternoons and relaxed evenings shaped by the sound of surf. The transition between home and beach is direct and unforced.

Life in Old Bar moves at a measured pace. Cafés, coastal walks, and open stretches of sand define days that require little structure. The village remains close, yet the home feels quietly removed.

This property suits families, couples, or close friends drawn to simplicity, nature, and shared time. Days unfold through beach walks, slow meals, and moments of stillness.
As daylight fades, the ocean remains constant, anchoring each evening with familiar rhythm and calm.
