    The house was very spacious and comfortable. It’s beautifully decorated and has a unique layout and facade. Very charming. A couple things I noticed immediately upon entry was how nice it smelled and clean it was. It was the perfect place for us...

    Everything! Beautiful and spacious. Everything was impeccable. Fabulous location just 50 ft off the Strand. Walkable to literally everything! On top of all of that a wonderful balcony to enjoy the evening with friends and listen to the music...

    The location was convenient to so many places on the strand that we walked instead of having to drive. This is a beautiful historic home. Wonderful outdoor space to have a glass of wine. Garage was a plus to park off of the street.
