We loved this special house from the moment we arrived. The house was very clean and is well laid out with everything we could have wanted for a relaxing stay including a working fireplace, books, board games, a cozy wood paneled study/TV room, croquet, wifi, a well equipped kitchen, grill, washer and dryer, and the bonus of a sauna. The retro 1970s vibe felt cozy and so familiar with lots of hand made crafts and original art work to admire. We felt really “away from it all” with no other houses in sight and slept perfectly. Also got some excellent star gazing in. The house is a pleasant 10-15 minute walk to a few beaches. Would love to come back in the summer when it’s warm enough to swim in the ocean but we got in some long walks and enjoyed the views. A beautiful spot. Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by David
This property used to belong to our great-aunt and great-uncle, Barbara and Walter Feldman. Walter was a renowned artist whose work you will find throughout the property. Now we four siblings (Sonja, Aaron, David, and Lily) own the property and, while we enjoy using the property ourselves, we also want to share this special place with others. The house has been a treasured spot in our family for many years for vacations, weddings, and summer lounging. We hope you find it as special a place as we do.
