About this property
Best of Both Worlds
Great location- 1 mile to the beach, 1/2 mile to shops and restaurants, and less than a 1/4 mile to a park!
The house is set back from the road with a good size driveway. The inside is newly renovated and we are working to finish the yard area for the summer! The house has WiFi, large yard, and a great front porch that gets a ton of sun.
We’ve made great memories there over the years and are now looking to share it with others!
The space
The house is quaint with lots of sunlight- a mix of old and new!
Other things to note
Beach Access:
If you plan on driving to the beach you can either pay a daily fee or if you are staying for at least 1 week you can purchase a beach pass to access Harvey’s beach! Renters staying at least 1 week can purchase a 2 week beach pass starting April 15th, 2021. I will send instructions directly to renters once you have confirmed your stay!
If you walk or bike to the beach it is free.
