This is a rare find. Great location that is walkable from all the action downtown and close to many of the historic sites. Total privacy in a quiet neighborhood. The inside of the home is beautifully decorated and super comfortable. Great communication throughout the entire process. I highly recommend it.

Family Getaway Our whole group loved this home. It was cozy, comfortable, and well equipped with all the necessities and more. The location is peaceful in a quiet neighborhood, but easy walking distance to all the action. The beach towels, beach chairs, and cornhole were such nice little added touches of convenience. My only suggestions regard the listing title and description. The “steps from the water” is a bit deceiving as there is nowhere to actually get close enough to really view the water without walking several blocks. The surrounding areas of the home are all private property with no public water view. Also the description stated there was a sleeper sofa and there was not. This posed issues for us with sleeping arrangements, but we made it work.
