What makes this property unique
In each room you'll receive a very homey and coastal vibe. The home has recently been updated to fit all your needs. First you have the living room which has a couch and TV for you to watch either while drinking your morning coffee or winding down for the night. If you prefer to eat at a dining room table, there is also a three person table and chairs for you to enjoy. Each bedroom offers plenty of space for a comfy stay. One of the bedrooms has a queen size bed while the other has two full size beds.
