The Space:
Please note that this home is older, and has a lot of character that makes this unique. Please embrace the beauty of imperfections as you wander through the well-loved spaces of our older home. The patina on the fixtures, the creak of the stairs, and the occasional uneven floorboard all add to the unique atmosphere that only time can provide.

Feel the history of the area in every corner of our home. We've preserved the original architecture and design elements that tell stories of the past, creating a truly immersive experience for those who appreciate the authenticity of older homes.

Please note that, due to the age of the home, there might be minor quirks or maintenance considerations. Living on the coast also provides unique challenges, as we're constantly exposed to the harsh weather storms when they come. Our dedicated team ensures that everything is in working order, but do let us know if you encounter any issues during your stay.

Guest Access
Guest will be given access to all spaces except for the basement, and the shed. We ask that folks stay away from the shed, as this is currently in the plans for a renovation. We ask that folks only use the side of the deck, and staircase that is nearest to the driveway and our front door.
