Finally found it!

After several years of looking at cottages and houses on Martha's Vineyard, we finally found something we could purchase. Of course, we were not really looking for houses when we found it! We were vacationing with family and happened to see real estate listings near the Black Dog Outlet store in Oak Bluffs. The listings were posted on the kiosk wall of a soap shop belonging to Marilyn, a real estate agent. We struck up a conversation and the next thing we knew.....we were visiting houses.

We found a small Gingerbread Cottage, right on Trinity Park across from the Tabernacle. It is small but has potential. It needs alot of work tho! We put in an offer and after going back and forth several times, we settled on a price.

Now we are going through the purchasing process. We signed the Purchase and Sale, secured a mortgage, home inspection, selected insurance and have a closing date. We also have to be interviewed by representatives from the Campground Meeting Association.

Our interview is scheduled for this Saturday morning.....just in time for Tropical Storm Danny to come for a visit! We are trying to decide whether we should reschedule. We are going to do the wait and see thing. Hopefully, Danny will fizzle.
