Birthday Getaway
House was staged in very clever ways highlighting its remarkable history. Comfortable and spacious, perfect for our small group. The 3rd floor bedroom, while adorable, was too warm and bright for a good sleep. Furniture needs a bit of "updating", perhaps new upholstery. Upstairs balcony seemed unsteady so we did not use that. Kitchen had a great stove , a large frig, and most items necessary to cook meals. We loved the convenient proximity to the coast and the Strand.

Vintage Home
We enjoyed our stay It was great for our group of 4 adults. The house is charming and is a renovated turn of the centuty home
which preserved the charm of the original house but added mondern conviences. Spiral staircase and steep
is that if stairs are a problem
