This location and front porch can’t be beat. So conveniently located to long sands beach (across the street) and walkable to short sands, downtown, restaurants and the general store. The house is an old Victorian as the description states. Lots of stairs and 4 different floors of living but very clean and well loved. Plenty of room for families to spread out, but we didn’t leave the porch. Beds were all very comfortable as well. We met Darcy at check-in and heard the wonderful history of the home and she was responsive during our stay to make sure all needs were met. A wonderful stay and memories to last a lifetime! Thank you!

We loved the location and hanging on the front porch! The house is dated but you couldn't beat walking across the street to the beach. The host was very responsive and we had everything we needed.

Beautiful Victorian home by the beach

My family and friends stayed 2 nights for July 4th long weekend in beautiful home by the beach. The beach is just across the street. My communication with owner was very easy . She give me all the information and answered all my concerns. The house is old but beautiful Victorian house which we all love. We have everything we needed. We enjoyed hanging outside and sitting in the porch. The beds were comfortable and good quality sheets/ blankets. Each room has its own character. I think they did few renovations in the house but maintained the Victorian style of the house. Just heads there are a lot of stairs in this house because this has 4 levels . It didn’t bother us and we didn’t mind taking those stairs. We love the area because even if it was a holiday weekend it didn’t feel crowded. There were general store on both sides that like 5-10 minutes and few restaurants too. We enjoyed our morning walks on the beach. And watching the dogs run around in the beach. And getting coffee, hot chocolate and those delicious donuts. Which everyone seems to be buying as soon as the general store opens. We definitely recommend this house and we hope to come again.
