Nice place!

We enjoyed our brief stay here - big enough to accommodate my family while still feeling cozy. I like it when places offer twin beds in a 2nd room for my college-age children. Kitchen had what we needed - we brought our own food, but there were some basics (I noticed oil and pepper, plus a few other things. We would stay again!

Great Location

Property is within walking distance to some great restaurants and the Harbor Light Festival. Train track is located close by, so if you’re a light sleeper, you’ll certainly know it’s there. Property was precious and very clean.

Making Memories

Decided to take my elderly parents, daughter and husband to beach for the weekend. Turned out to be one of the best weekends that we have had in a very long time. We could not have asked for a better host. Mr. Mangen was pleasant, attentive, and accommodating. The home is beautiful and the location is ideal. We look forward to returning.
