About this property
The Barnacle--Perfect for the Fishermen...
If The Barnacle is not available, check out our listing, The Bunker; same location, same price, same quality.
After a hard day's fishing, what better place to relax than in convenient, comfortable surroundings in this fishing village. Located in a well-maintained, safe neighborhood, this apartment is inside the boat barn which makes for quiet, restful sleeping conditions just minutes from the boat launches.
The bedroom has accommodations for four with a twin over full bunk and a full over full bunk (4 beds). The bathroom is stocked with soaps and paper products. There is a big screen TV where you can stream all of the latest sports games and news and basic programming. Complimentary WIFI in addition to DirectTV are provided. ROKU remote.
There is a covered carport, propane grill, Old Smokey pit and yard furniture for relaxing outside. Security cameras are not armed during your stay to protect your privacy. Electric and water hook-ups are available.
ONE dog is welcome, but not in the bedroom. Please, kennel the dog indoors and leash it when outdoors. Do not allow a wet dog indoors. There is a $40 pet fee in the booking process. If you happened to skip that step, make arrangements with owner to pay on your arrival.
Please, park on the 45' X 29 ' wide rock drive between the Barnacle and the street. The cement driveway is for guests in the other two rentals on this property. Contact owner if you want to see if this space on the cement drive is available during your stay.
We do ask that you absolutely do not clean fish/ducks on the premises. It will be days before garbage pick-up and the stench will persevere a long while.
These accommodations are for 4 people only, including kids.
Enjoy your stay and do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

The Bungalow is located on this property. It is the main house that offers sleeping for additional 7 people. The Bunker can, also, be rented separately for 4 extra beds. See listing in VRBO.
