Unique house

This house is a true gem and I feel fortunate that I was able to stay for a week. It is architecturally so different from any other property that I have ever rented and I so enjoyed sitting in various locations in the house and enjoying the views and amazing art. The house was immaculate and had everything that my family needed. We enjoyed walking the neighborhood and running the nearby trails. McNears Beach was an easy walk to the water.
