Events & Weddings
We have partnered with a marina just a mile down the street that can host any size weddings and parties on its massive beach with outdoor pool. We do not allow additional people to hang out or stay at the house than is part of the house rental. It is a quiet neighborhood and cannot hold larger groups without disturbing neighbors. We can work with you on booking the marina space for your event.
Parking
There are several spots for parking cars, please keep all vehicles on the gravel and avoid any parking on grass.
Guest access
There is parking for at least 6 cars and there is an EV charging outlet ready for any EV charger with NEMA 14-50 adapter.
