About this property
Historic pet friendly home on ocean
*** As of 5/5/25 we have learned that the private beach access has become impossible to navigate due to significant erosion. The beach can be accessed to the North from Freeman Park and to the South at the North End Pier. ***
*On 04/30/2024 we became aware that this property is being affected by nearby construction. You may experience unpleasant environmental factors such as noise, vibrations, and even light pollution during your stay during hours of permitted construction which are outlined as Monday through Friday 7:00AM – 6:00PM, and Saturday 9:00AM - 5:00PM. We deeply regret the inconvenience but appreciate your kind understanding that these factors are not under the control of the homeowners or our management company. Please enjoy your visit and keep a respectful distance around areas where workers or machines are present. *
Historic single family home that is pet friendly! This is the second house south of Freeman Park, accessed just through the entrance. Bring your 4x4 and enjoy driving on the beach where you can truly get away from the crowds. "T.J. House" was featured in a TV special about Seal Team Six and it boasts some of the most spectacular sunrise views anywhere. You'll enjoy three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, as well as a private walkway to the beach. There is also a small screened-in porch and an outdoor shower on the ocean front deck.
There is a Queen bedroom, another with a Full bed and the third bedroom features a pyramid bunk with a Twin over a Full bed. There is also a pull-out sofa in the living room, for sleeping accommodations for up to 9. There is plenty of parking for 3 cars. Note that the washer/dryer is located in the basement which cannot be accessed from inside the home.
Make your plans now to enjoy this quaint and comfortable beachfront cottage with your family and your dogs. You're already at Freeman Park, so you'll have an expansive beach to play or relax. Bring your rods and head just a short walk to the North End pier or toss a line from the surf and test your luck. Whatever you decide to do, "T.J. House" will surely be a place you want to come back to year after year.
