About the host
Hosted by Nancy Schofield
We love taking road trips with our dog, and that inspired us to create a space to share with others who love to travel with their dogs. The Red Door Barn is a passion project, set on land once home to grazing sheep for local fishermen. The stone wall at the driveway is the last reminder of that era. Our design honors the hardworking fishermen of the past who worked both the land and sea. We hope you enjoy your time by the ocean!
Why they chose this property
The oceanfront, walking distance to the beach, the amazing views, the rural coastal community.
What makes this property unique
The Red Door Barn is a custom designed cottage with access to the ocean from the property and a short walk to a secluded beach. Lobsters available year round are a treat.
