Party Like It’s Always Summer

Posted on September 14, 2012 by admin

They say it’s always good to leave a party when you’re still having a good time. That’s what we think at Seal Rock. So in that spirit, we sent off summer with a lavish fête en plein air that spilled into the evening as friends and acquaintances sipped cocktails, sampled scrumptious bites and a fabulous raw bar from Dennis Oysters. There was a lively five piece band under the tents and that kept everyone dancing as they marveled over the picture perfect sunset. The last full moon of the summer rose over the festivities as the sun slowly sank into the west. It couldn’t have been a more perfect end to summer.

This was a special launch for Thomas J. O’Neill that night with his new company: O’Neill Real Estate. Seal Rock, this very special, luxury waterfront and iconic property in Hyannisport, will be his listing. More information can be obtained at their websites: O’Neill Real Estate and Thomas J.

Enter March Like a Lion

Posted on March 2, 2012 by admin

house in the dunesSeal Rock, in all her pristine white glory, sits perched above the dunes waiting for Spring. It won’t be long now. Since there never was much of a winter, the daffodils have already sprouted and are poised to bloom a bit too early. Crocus, those harbingers of Spring are already peeking from among the winter bramble. Robins, who never seem to leave entirely, are back in mass. One sunny day can bring a mind boggling array of shore birds and song birds alike that one would think there was an aviary outside on a grand scale. The water is calm and serene as if waking from winter hibernation, and not yet ready to get up and play. boatsThis morning a fishing boat chugged along through the harbor. It is the time for waking up. It is time for Spring.flowers

Light Play on a Winter’s Day

Posted on January 16, 2012 by admin

Winter has its moments when it takes your breath away. The changes in the slant of sunlight leads to wonder that we do not see in the blinding light of the summer sun. Beauty is all around us in a walk on the now quiet streets of Hyannisport and gaze out at our corner of the world. The stillness of a winter’s day at Seal Rock.

Beach Rose Walk

Today the beach was calling. There is never a bad day at the beach. The ocean on Cape Cod always turns up a treasure. The gentle hiss of the waves, reminds us of how wonderful life is at the edge of the sea. There is a surprise winter rose, still bravely blooming even in winter’s occasional chill. Seal Rock’s front door welcomes us home.

Winter White

Posted on January 4, 2012 by admin

wintertime deck The glorious holidays are slipping into blissful memories but still the sun lingers on the shoreline in front of Seal Rock. Gulls scream if you approach to quickly, startled out of their  wintertime reverie. The waters are cold, clear and calm. Fishing is good. There are a few stragglers left in this time of rest and rejuvenation in Hynanisport. Resolution makers don their new gear decorating the streets, determined to run off those pesky party pounds. A gentleman, bundled in woolen jacket, plaid scarf, and leather gloves, loads up the post box with, presumably, late holiday letters. But no one, it seems, is on the beach. The sand, streaked with the wind has been sculpted like cake frosting, studded with a delicious combination of shells and bright seaweeds. It is calm. Whisper waves just touch the shore and beckon us to sleep our winter hibernation. The sun, relentless and impervious to the bite of winter, beats incessantly, bleaching everything pure white. The snows will come, inevitably, deepening the brilliance on the edge of the shore. But today, there is peace in the stark white turn of the year.

Christmas at the Lighthouse

Posted on December 4, 2011 by admin

lighthouseThere is nothing quite as quintessential as a Lighthouse when you conjure up images of Cape Cod. The quite beacons from antiquity have guarded Cape Cod’s shores for hundreds of years. They are a sight to behold, standing soldier straight in their starched whites ready to warn all and sundry that dangerous waters with hidden rocks are close enough to dash your vessel to pieces. With modern GPS and radar, they seem quaintly out of date. But GPS can’t help you in a dark night fog, so many lighthouses have survived the antique shop. Probably Cape Cod’s most famous Light is in Chatham, at the “elbow” of The Cape. Manned by the US Coast Guard, it not only is operational and open for tours, it gets dressed for the season with pine and holly.

Of the 14 Lights on Cape Cod, the others that dress in their Holiday finery are Sandy Neck Light and Nobska Light. To those of us that live on the water, when the Lighthouse gets festive, then the Christmas Season has truly begun.

All That Glitters

Posted on November 29, 2011 by admin

fire place

This time of year, when we turn from Giving Thanks for our blessings, to sharing them with others, it is well to separate the things that mean the most to us. The world is certainly filled with lots of glitter. Some of it is real and some of it is only comes in a thinly disguised bottle of Fool’s Gold. At Seal Rock, we love to reflect on the “real glitter”  of a golden sunset over Hyannisport Harbor, the diamonds of light on the water during a bright summer’s day, or the glowing flicker of a warm, cozy fire on a chilly Cape Cod winter’s evening. All of this includes the wonderful memories of family and friends that have gathered at Seal Rock over the years, both ours and all of the owners before us. Some of the illustrious guests that have come and gone have left their glittering friendship in our home. The echo of laughter, the clink of china on the patio, the jingle of a welcoming ring at the doorbell; nothing the world can produce could ever replace these “glittering” memories. As the Holiday Season approaches we encourage you to count your blessings and find the luxury of the hidden treasure in your heart.
