There is a large deck with charcoal grill, dining table and lounge chairs. The deck is glassed in on 3 sides so you can enjoy those sunny days even if it is breezy. There is a small grass unfenced yard, and shrubs and trees filled with birds of all sorts, starlings, gulls swallows, even blue herons. There are binoculars and bird books in the house.

We have information in the house with local activities, parks, lighthouses, beaches and restaurants.

Parking for 2 cars in driveway, and two more in front of home. Washer/Dryer access in basement with prior owner permission only. We are continually working to improve this home. We fell in love with it despite the work it needed as a 1940's home. Recent siding and new windows, new ductless heat and in wall cadets have been installed. The house includes a finished basement we use as an owner hangout, or for short term rentals. Our family has enjoyed this home many times and have hosted family holiday dinners easily here. We hope you will find it as cozy and relaxing as we do, and we look forward to hearing from you after your visit!
