Includes wood floors, sailing inspired sconces, fireplace, and semi-private sauna. Beautiful wood trim & wainscoting created by craftsmen that trimmed ship interiors over a century ago, beach-front windows, large open kitchen, dishwasher, microwave oven, & shared full-size washer/dryer

Three large screen smart TV's and laundry room. The laundry room and sauna is shared between the Beachfront rental and the Court-yard unit. Professionally decorated with full-size washer/dryer.
Even with a thorough modernization the property is a historical home that is now over 110 years old. It has some eccentricities that reflect building standards and designs from the turn of the last century that lends to its charm as an older beach cottage.

Privacy is provided with locking doors.
Also found on the property is extensive outdoor seating areas, well kept grounds, professional landscaping, swings, water fountain, beachfront pergola with hot-tub, bocce ball pit, horse shoe pit, Jenga, beachfront grilling area with shower, sink with running water and more seating.
