Glad we didn't go with small cove....
When we made the leap to waterfront several years ago, we looked at over 20 places over 13 months. We loved Blackey's Cove and put an offer on a place that did not come to be. We also liked Buzzell's Cove quite a bit, and came close to making an offer on a place there, but ultimately did not.
We ended up tucked in a corner of Meredith Bay and we really have the best of both worlds. It is fairly quiet, but yet there is lots to see, (the lights of the town at night; the fireworks; the boats going by; awesome sunsets, etc). The water quality is excellent...sandy bottom and very clear water. No leaves, sticks, and other mysterious things that can be in a small cove. We often remark how fortunate we are that we found such a great spot.
As another person said in this thread, however, it is really what feels right to you. It is a highly personal decision, so go with whatever property feels like home.
Best of luck!
