Super cute historical home in such a groovy little town with a fun downtown area. There was an adorable porch with lights, and everything was walkable. Oh, and a white noise machine. Great place!

The house was great! Great location! Comfortable adjustable beds. The owner, Kristin, was amazing! Super responsive, friendly, and thought of everything we might need. If I thought of something I wanted, I opened a cabinet and there it was! She even went to the house to leave an extra beach towel for us before we arrived. I’d give her more stars if I could. Highly recommend!
