About this property

Sunshine House - Walk to Historic Downtown Berlin

Stay just a few blocks from downtown and experience the coastal lifestyle—from the charm of a small country town. Locals know Berlin as the perfect balance: the beach is only minutes away, yet the traffic and bustle of the resort stay behind.

Berlin’s locally owned restaurants, breweries, cafés, and boutiques weren’t built by chains—they’re the result of people pursuing a vision and choosing this small town to bring it to life. Sunshine House is perfectly situated between the historic downtown district and the town’s growing north end, placing many of those local favorites just a short walk away.

Sunshine House has its own story. Originally built in the early 1950s, it has been thoughtfully transformed over more than a decade into the spacious home you’ll enjoy today. Rather than replacing the home’s character, the renovation was designed to build upon it. Original features—including a blend of old and new wood flooring, exposed ceilings, and a cozy wood-burning stove—blend naturally with updated appliances, stone countertops, and modern conveniences.

Guests often remark that the house feels much larger inside than it appears from the street. Multiple gathering spaces, a loft, game room, spacious family room, and outdoor living areas make it easy for everyone to spend time together while still finding a quiet place to relax.

About the host

Hosted by Jeb

Host profile image
I grew up in the Berlin area enjoying surfing, boating, and just about anything on or near the water. I’ve lived in the Town of Berlin since 2000 and developed a passion for residential design and construction. Sunshine House is one of the products of that passion—a home I spent many years renovating, expanding, and thoughtfully improving. Most importantly, I’m the proud father of two wonderful children, who inspired many of the home’s family-friendly features. I hope you enjoy Sunshine House as much as my family has over the years.

Why they chose this property

When I purchased Sunshine House, I saw the potential to renovate an older home and originally envisioned it as a project that I would eventually sell. As the years passed, though, life had other plans. My children grew up here while the renovation slowly took shape, and what started as a renovation project became our family home. Many of the home’s features—from the laundry chute and Jack-and-Jill bedrooms to the game room and backyard play spaces—were inspired by raising them here. Today, I’m grateful to share Sunshine House with other families creating memories of their own in Berlin.

What makes this property unique

Sunshine House wasn’t designed as a vacation rental—it became one after years of serving as our family home. Nearly every space reflects thoughtful planning and hands-on craftsmanship, creating a home that feels comfortable, lived in, and welcoming rather than simply furnished for guests.

The spacious layout includes multiple gathering areas, a loft, game room, first-floor suite, and outdoor living spaces that make it easy for families and friends to spend time together while still finding a quiet place to relax.
