After 40 years of leasing a cottage at Sandy Point, we decided not to return since the new owners raised the lease price by 110% and the dock rental by 350%. It was almost as painful as losing my childhood home, which also happened this year after my mom died. We rented a cute cottage at the Alton Bay Christian Conference Center for most of August and have our jet ski at our generous friends' place. They have a spare lift. We will return for another stay after Labor Day, but Sandy Point won't be our home away from home any time soon.
