Lovely, unique, kid-friendly and pet-friendly house with a kid playroom. 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, Sleeps 4 adults and some small kids Come enjoy our kid-friendly, charming, and lovely home just 3 minutes walk from the beach and 3 minutes drive to the city center. You can listen to the sounds of the ocean from the front porch, and enjoy the sunset (assuming there is no fog). This cute and quirky house is perfect for a family or a few couples. This kid-friendly, dog-friendly home provides standard conveniences and an excellent location near the heart of town. This house is more relaxing for parents, with minimal things for kids to break. We are doing improvements since the house is 100 years old, this includes painting and taking off the wallpaper which you will see in some of the pictures. The great room features a propane stove for cozy nights, multiple seating options with a couch, and a 58" Smart TV. There is a historic train that comes by for tourists to enjoy. You will hear it a few times a day during the warmer seasons. You can wave to the people on board, which makes for a little nostalgia and joy. During the summer, on clear nights you can see the stars. It’s amazing. The smell of the ocean is also one of our favorite highlights. While you are sleeping you can crack the windows and hear the sounds of the ocean. This is a newer VRBO listing. We offer a discounted rate for bookings through December. We welcome personal feedback so that we can build our reviews and make our guests’ visits even more comfortable and memorable. We are constantly updating the house and making changes as we can. Please feel free to make a recommendation that would make your stay more comfortable. Our house is 100 years old and due to the layout, we are unable to offer a washer and dryer for your use. If you have an extended stay we can bring you fresh towels. Parking is available for two cars to the left of the house, two cars deep. Please see parking signs. You are welcome to park on the street provided you do not block views or driveways. We try to keep our vacation rental as child-friendly as possible.
