The space Water views from every room. We love to escape the city and relax on the deck or patio. You will often seen fishermen out crabbing near our dock or heading out to the Bay.

The house has been recently renovated and is equipped with all new appliances. We love to cook and entertain and have outfitted the kitchen accordingly - it is small but mighty! There is a separate pantry with washer/dryer, extra sheets, blankets, beach towels, small appliances (including ice cream maker, instant pot, hand mixer), extra spices, etc. We have tried to create a peaceful and welcoming retreat for our family and friends, and we hope you enjoy it as well! Perfect for a couple or family with older children. Guest access Entire house. Other things to note Our house is right on the water - you cannot build this close any longer - with a private pier. There is no fence between the yard and the water, and the pier is not gated. In addition, due to erosion, we ask that you please stay back at least 6 feet from the sea wall.
