The space
The house has been meticulously rebuilt by local craftsman in 2021 - EVERYTHING is new and fresh and exceptionally clean! It is a new home that pays homage to vintage style. There is a bedroom and bathroom on each floor and both feature a queen bed with premium bedding and lots of extra pillows, blankets and towels.

Ice cold AC and cozy heat, top of the line appliances, hardwood floors and a screened in back porch decked with exquisite Brazilian tigerwood. Hanging daybed that overlooks the fully fenced backyard with gas fire pit, Weber grill, bathing cabana and mural.

The kitchen and bathrooms are stocked with everything you might need, spices, plastic wrap, tin foil, extra paper towels, cleaning supplies, lots of toilet paper and tissues, quality shampoo, conditioner and body wash amenities. So many extras like a special recipe s'mores kit, salsa and chips and other light snacks as well as coffee and fresh cream. Let us know if you have any special requests!

There are so many beautiful beaches a short drive away. Beach chairs and beach towels are provided and we’re happy to let you borrow a cooler, just ask!

Books, games, coloring books and puzzles along with a quality smart TV with a cable package and ability to stream your favorite shows.

You are so close to all of the history, shopping, restaurants, bars and beaches…but you might just want to curl up with a book on the hanging daybed, cook in the gorgeous well-stocked kitchen, watch something fun on the smart TV or get some work done on the speedy internet.

The Nation's Oldest City is constantly under construction and renovations. There can be noise at the property and traffic can be slow getting in/out/around town. We really appreciate your understanding.

There is one ring camera on the outside of the property pointing at the driveway so we can ensure only guests are accessing the property.
