The location of this property is beautiful! We were able to bring our dogs, and the fenced in yard was wonderful. There is a cozy "lived in" feeling about this house that makes having your dogs along less stressful (no pristine white linen sofas and such to panic over), and lends itself to relaxing. There's plenty of space and different areas for gathering or just going off for some quiet reading. The only challenge is the interesting staircase, but that, in it's own way, added to the charm of this beach community home. Since it's November, we had the need to use the heat, and were very comfortable for our entire stay. We have this property on our "good place to return to" list.
