Staff Housing


Taking a job with my boyfriend in a small New England summer community, I paid an absurdly cheap rent to live in staff housing with the rest of the sailing instructors. The houses we lived in those summers were surprisingly nice and I can’t image why someone would agree to rent their house out to a bunch of college students. One even had a bath tub with clawed feet! One of the summers, I pushed two single beds together and put a double sheet over both. Note: this is NOT as comfortable as a double bed. The crack in the middle makes the whole premise ridiculous – you have to choose one side or the other, defeating the purpose of a double bed.
