Everything you need is within walking distance, and it was perfect for our weekend getaway! Although it rained most of our time, it made for the coziest environment to watch movies inside. The pool/neighborhood amenities have coverings to read under to escape the rain or sun; and the beach is a short 5 minute walk too! We've stayed at both the main house and carriage house now, and both are equally stunning and cozy on the inside. Jen, the owner, was always quick to respond and gave us great recommendations for local spots. We LOVED Fonville Press, Kilwins, La Creme, The Hidden Lantern Bookstore, and Pizza By The Sea; ALL within walking distance from the house. We didn't touch our car all weekend, it is just the best location! Highly recommend for a getaway, if you just want to drive there and disconnect from real life for a little bit! You won't want to leave and will be counting down the days to come back! We loved the Crew Rest Carriage House!
