Great size and layout for our group of six adults. The location is really great, centrally located to all the local beach towns. Sitting on the deck was perfect, nice view!
My multi generational family and I were here for a wedding. John’s home was exactly what we were hoping for. Lots of room to spread out. He was exceptionally fast at returning any communications. I would love to come back sometime. The views are amazing. Thank you.
Thank You for a perfect spot for our family to enjoy the area. Roomy with everything we needed!

Why they chose this property
This house is in walking distance from the harbor, a gourmet grocery store, Michelin star restaurant, fresh seafood, live music, surfers beach, shopping, miles and miles of coastal trail, and endless hiking right outside your door. If you don't want to do any of this, you can still enjoy stunning views from the comfort of our home.
