We are seniors and still quite mobile,but folks staying here need to know there are alot of stairs.front porch deck is very wet/slippery in the morning. Kitchen well-equipped,although never could find cutting board/s,never could figure out oven(directions would be nice,esp.if it's convection) Good location,close to good hiking

I was drawn by the location, architecture, spaciousness and interior design of this home and it did not disappoint! Ralph Lauren country vibe! The house was very comfortable and clean with big, beautiful beds & baths upstairs and picture windows throughout. The living spaces were charming and the garage was a game room of sorts! 👌 The area is just beautiful with plenty of hikes & beaches. Small town but the restaurants and markets they do have were great. Found a few Christmas gifts in town. All in all, just what the doctor ordered!
