This historic home has modern amenities coupled with original flooring and exposed beams from the 1800s. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the gadgets you might need, and the rest of the house is furnished in a way that will make you feel right at home! The backyard features 2 decks and an outdoor shower, and is fully fenced in with latching gates, creating a private oasis. It is walking distance to downtown shopping, restaurants, and the beaches! Be aware that the upstairs has low ceilings, just under 7 ft, with a vaulted ceiling in the master bedroom and bath.

Dec 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The home was exceedingly clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. It was clear the owners have worked hard to create an atmosphere of welcome and a place where all can gather without difficlty. It was close to town and they left menus and other info on local eateries and amenities in the area. ##### Gary H.
