Stylish Coastal Living with Room to Gather
The home features a flowing open layout designed for connection and comfort, including two separate seating areas that allow guests to spread out while still enjoying time together.

May Beach Trip

The house was perfect for our visit (3 adults with 2 toddlers)! The close proximity to the village was wonderful and the neighbors nearby were very friendly.

We had a wonderful time staying at Mary's Porch. The location is perfect!! The beach is nearby as well as playgrounds, shopping, and restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet and a great place to walk or ride bikes. We loved the house!! It was super clean and had nice linens and towels. There was plenty of room to spread out. The kids played in one family room and the adults enjoyed the other family room. The kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed to cook delicious meals at home. We also enjoyed the porch with multiple areas to relax. The porch had a swing and rocking chairs. We would definitely stay here again!!
