New for 2022!! As some of you know, we purchased this property last year. We immediately painted and repaired the entire exterior, with new furnishings in numerous areas of the home. One of my favorites is the screened in porch. Towards the end of the season, we added beach chairs and equipment for our guest's enjoyment. This year we are focused on the railings, new shower fixtures, and a continuation of painting and updating this cute little bungalow that stands proudly right on the Beach!!

Please leave a fun memory from your week in our guestbook!
