Few motel units at Sandy Point
Sandy Point cottages went seasonal back in the 1980's. There are about 35 cottages all leased by the season. The Hillside motel was changed from 8 rooms to 4 two room efficiencies and they are also seasonal leases. Same thing with the unit below which was converted from 6 rooms to 3 seasonal efficiency units. The only actual motel units rented out weekly or overnight are the 12 rooms at the top of hill in the Scenic motel, and the 6 units on the beach which are also converted efficiencies which had originally been 10 one room units. Right now that makes about 53 units, no longer 77. Uppy is correct, the water is town water and is shut off from mid October to mid April as the water supply runs above ground at the bridge 1/ 2 east on Rt 11. Only the owner's residence has a well. All the cottages share septic systems which are pumped across the road to the leach field across from the restaurant building which is also on the shared system.
The condos being built at Barton's are a different story. There they have city sewers and year round water. Sandy Point is a little more rustic and I am sure the 1940's era shared septic and seasonal water will be an issue.
