THE HOME
You will stay in a charming, updated 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with an open floor plan and a generous balcony overlooking the ocean. This entire cozy home has been fully renovated to offer modern convenience while maintaining classic coastal charm.
The kitchen is thoughtfully equiped with updated appliences and plenty of casserole dishes, baking sheets, cutting boards, etc.
Each bedroom is outfitted with clean, comfortable beds and a dresser or bureau. The master has a queen bed. The second bedroom offers one queen and one twin. The third bedroom offers one queen and a twin bunkbed.
Both bathrooms offer showers. An additional hot & cold water shower with a dressing room is located under the house.
In addition to central AC, ceiling fans are placed in the living room and each bedroom. For spring and fall guests who prefer to leave the windows open, box fans are located in the closets.
OUTSIDE
The ample deck leads directly to the beach path and dunes. The private shower is located at the bottom of the steps. For additional sand-rinsing convenience, there are hoses located at the top of the stairs and in the covered parking area.
The house is on stilts, and the space underneath the house provides s sheltered patio to hang out, gear up, and play. The "sandbox," under the balcony provides additional sheltered play space, where you will find hooks for your travel hammock, or you can hang the red and orange hammock in the master bedroom closet (just remember to shake off the sand and put it away before you leave).
Paved parking is also available below the house and in the paved driveway.
WI-FI and TELEVISION
You will find smart TVs in the living room and both bedrooms. Wifi is available.
LINENS
We provide quilts, pillows, bath mats, and kitchen cloths & towels. You will need to bring, add-on, or rent bed linens and bathroom towels/ cloths. (You will find a tote bin with some extra sheets and towels. If you use them, you must launder them and return them to the bin.)
ADD-ON LINENS PACKAGE
$125: Bedroom and bathroom linens. Arrive to find sheets already on the beds. Before departure, you will need to strip beds, have sheets washed and in the dryer, and have towels running in the washing machine. Message me with your add-on request.
BEACH GEAR & BIKES
The Shibumi shade is hanging by the door. We provide a selection of beach chairs and sand and water toys. Please note that beach chairs will show wear. We replace them often, but they hang outside in the salt air.
