Whether it is the quiet serenity of a morning sunrise, evening moon rise, or sitting on the house deck viewing bald eagles, ospreys, seals, loons, or sea gulls the view is always in tune with mother nature. Morningside has large interior windows from the ground floor and 2nd floor "OPEN LOFT". These eastern windows give every area of the home great views of the inlets and coves of Quahog Bay.
