This special house is a traditional, family beach cottage that is currently being enjoyed by its 4th generation. Built in 1972, it is designed in the old-fashioned beach cottage style of that era. It's not fancy and modern; if that is what you're looking for, this is not the house for your vacation. We have a beach wagon, some beach chairs, and sand and water toys for your use. If you're looking for a traditional, homey beach cottage close to the beach and loved by its family, this is it!
