Unbelievable view. Checked all our boxes. Lighthouse, comfortable beds, stunning views, fog horn, and so much more!Clean with everything you need. Close to downtown.

Thank you sooooo much!!!

There needs to be some updating some of the blinds needs to be replaced the window seals needs to be cleaned or painted and the windows need to be replaced and would be nice to have a nice table and chairs for the front porch
