Property Details
Key features:
Main Floor:
☆☆ KITCHEN, DINING & LIVING AREAS ☆☆
• The fully equipped kitchen includes everything you need to prepare delicious home-cooked meals.
• The dining area seats 6-8, perfect for enjoying morning coffee or fresh local seafood with family and friends.
• The living room is the heart of the home, with a couch and lounge chair anchoring the space for people to gather for reading, games, or relaxing at the end of the day.
• The basement has a pool table, providing an extra gathering space and activity for fans of in-real-life games. **Please note: we are continually working to improve this space and make it more comfortable and welcoming while still keeping it true to its quaint beach-town roots.
☆☆ OUTDOOR SPACE ☆☆
Enjoy all the amenities of the ocean air on the back patio, which sports:
• Outside dining space for up to 8 people
• A gas grill for barbeque and al fresco cooking and dining.
• A firepit to invite everyone outside for s’mores and nights under the stars.
☆☆ BEDROOMS ☆☆
The home’s efficient use of space crafts seven (7) bedrooms that can easily accommodate 14-15 guests.
Bedroom 1: plush queen bed (sleeps 2)
Bedroom 2: king bed, great for couples or families with very little kids
Bedroom 3: king bed
Bedroom 4: full-size bed, cozy for up to two people
Bedroom 5: two twin beds, great for kids and solo travelers
Bedroom 6: two more twin beds
Bedroom 7: full size bed (sleeps 2)
☆☆ BATHROOMS ☆☆
The home has one full bathroom on the main floor in between two of the bedrooms, just off the living room. It features a shower/tub combo and is fully stocked with towels and basic shower essentials for your convenience.
The second bathroom is in the basement and serves as the “beach shower” when everyone comes back coated in sand! This bathroom is accessible through the back door from the patio (if coming from outside adventures) or through the door in the living room, but PLEASE watch your head going down the narrow stairwell.
GUEST ACCESS
Guests will have full access to the entire home, with the exception of the locked cleaner's cabinet and the basement space behind the curtained off area. Please forgive the appearance in the basement as we keep working to improve the home!
