Very eclectic decor with plenty of space for people to sleep. Came for a getaway with kids to the dunes. Easy access to parks and beaches. Some old charm in the house and some updates.

Very Nice Stay

We enjoyed our 2 night stay at this house. It had 3 bedrooms and 3 couches with pullout beds so plenty of room for our group to stay. The kitchen, living room, and basement areas were all nice as well. The driveway had ample space for 3 vehicles. I would recommend this place.

Great house

House was wonderfully updated inside. Basement tv area was great place to hang out. Drive to train station and National Park were good. Posting doesn't list outdoor area, but next great update to this house would be a deck and porch fix up. We would stay again!
