Waquoit Bay Nerr — Reviews, Complaints and Ratings

Sitting on a 30 foot bluff overlooking the Bay, the 16 room home was built by Ignatius Sargent during the late 1880’s to serve as a summer cottage for a wealthy family. In 1900, the Munros and the Abbotts rented the home for the season while they built their own modest cottages across the bay. Alice Munro Haagersen was born in the home that summer and documented her memories in a taped interview at the Reserve. She recalled her mother saying there were only two other homes on the bay at the time.  Relatives of both these families still live on the bay.
