Romance in a small cabin by the sea

I can’t remember this movie for the life of me. It’s not a hallmark movie. It seemed like it was made in the 90’s or early 2000’s. I could’ve sworn it had a young Sandra Bullock in it but I could be wrong.

The plot is that a woman who wrote a novel has lost her inspiration (I think her husband died or is feeling lost in life) so she goes and rents a little seaside home to gather her inspiration and get rid of her writer’s block.

There’s a guy who comes by every now and then. He’s something to the property. A neighbor, the owner, or a caretaker of sorts? Either way, he’s there every now and then. Maybe even a lighthouse keeper or something. Either way, they come to fall for each other and I’m pretty sure they end up falling in love by the end of it?

Any ideas? It’s not a horror and it’s not a hallmark movie.
