Adorable, recently renovated home in town with a 3 block walk to the beach! Sleeps 10. Spacious backyard. Grill provided. Front porch (partially enclosed). Three bedrooms/1.5 bath - Main bath has a shower and a separate tub. Take advantage of the close proximity to downtown restaurants and shopping. Stop at House of Flavors for amazing ice cream.

Mark, the host, responded to my questions quickly. I would recommend staying. The neighborhood was also cute and a great area to go for a walk.

Awesome

This place was great. It's a very cute house, in a very cute neighborhood. You can't really tell from the listing, but the backyard is also really nice -- we spent a lot of time hanging out back there. Mark was also very attentive and helpful (thank you!). We're hoping we'll be able to make it back here most every summer.
