1862 Old sea Captains house
It is very unique being so old. I loved it. The bed was comfortable. Cathy had a list of restaurants and a description of what they had to eat. It was located close to a lot of restaurants. We could see the water looking out the seconded floor window. I would highly recommend staying there.

Why they chose this property

Although it was in rather a sad state, we fell in love with the house at first sight, and couldn't resist the lure of restoring this gracious historic old sea-captain's house to it's earlier glory.

What makes this property unique

In touch with the harbor and all that goes on there. A short walk to the nearest supermarket. And very close to the downtown.
