Family & dog friendly; walk to beach, cliff, town, ferries, all bedrooms w/AC
Our location is the best of both worlds! The house is quietly situated among pine trees with few neighbors, plus it is walking distance to Jetty Beach (5 mins)! And it's only 2 houses from the ocean and scenic East Chop Drive. Take in the sights as you walk, run or bike along the cliffs to the lighthouse. A 15-20 minute walk brings you to the harbor, then to the bustling stores, restaurants, bike rental shops, the gingerbread houses, and the carousel. The large, breezy front porch is perfect for reading, visiting, or eating meals. The house is quaint and like a step back in time. It is not fully air conditioned but has AC where it counts: in the 3 upstairs bedrooms and in 1st floor family room. The main kitchen/dining room/living room area has fans. 1st floor has additional galley kitchen, family room w/ TV, laundry and full bath. 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms (1w/king, 1 w/double & twin, 1 w/queen & twin) and a full bathroom. All bedrooms have their own entrance off the top floor landing. There’s an enclosed outside shower. The large front porch has 2 rockers, several deck chairs, 2 round tables to eat at, and railings to block off stairs (for kids or a dog). There's a hammock on back porch and a charcoal grill out back. Includes Wi-Fi, smart TV w/cable channels & Blue Ray player. Kitchen is fully stocked! Dishwasher & electric stove, microwave, electric coffee maker, lobster pot, plus a full range of cooking supplies. ***SHEETS are provided thru rental & located in plastic bag in front porch***TOWELS (bath, beach in 2nd floor bathroom, kitchen in kitchen closet) are available at the house, but must be washed, dried, and put away upon departure. Vinyl record player with jazz and classical music. There’s also an assortment of games in the family room. Outdoor games include bocce, ladder toss, and badminton.

About the host
Hosted by Anne Rounseville
In 1962 my parents bought this 1905 house and it is now co-owned by myself and my 3 siblings. We all love bringing our families here and our special memories keep growing. These now include 3 weddings and now fun with grandkids. All of the rental income earned goes towards the costs of the house. Even though the house dates way back, renovations have been made over the years. We hope you will come, make your own memories here and enjoy our home away from home!
Why they chose this property
Although it is close to the bustle of OB, it feels quiet with all the woods around. We love the walk along the cliff to the East Chop Lighthouse and beyond. Much of that road is closed off to traffic so it is very peaceful. Our front porch is a great place to hang out! We especially love the quiet of the woods for dinners outside, games, reading, and visiting. And swims at Jetty Beach which is only a few minutes away. This location allows for walks to Oak Bluff's harbor, restaurants and shopping.
What makes this property unique
Location! There is so much to do that is walkable. Teens especially can enjoy the freedom this location provides. Charm! The house was originally built in 1905. We even have an old photo on the wall showing it in a pasture before the pines and oaks filled in. Although vintage, it has had several additions made over the years, (building out onto the porch, opening up the dining room and kitchen to the living area. Also a laundry, small kitchen and first floor bath added).
