Cottage Sun

Know the sun before you buy the cottage.

A sun report for any waterfront listing: how much sun the dock, deck, and beach really get — month by month — from the sun's path, the terrain, and the trees. Before you make an offer.

• See whether the sunset lands over open water or disappears behind the ridge.
• Hours of usable sun on the dock in July — and what's left in September.
• Tree-line and terrain shade computed from the listing address. No site visit needed.
