Inside, you’ll find a welcoming living area filled with natural light, perfect for reading, playing board games, or putting together a puzzle. The well-equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals at home, while the BBQ grill outside is perfect for summertime dinners under the stars.

Need to know:

• The house is close to the Naval Outlying Field (NOLF) and Navy jets will fly at a low altitude sometimes on Monday–Friday. They usually do not fly on the weekends. We provide some earmuffs and earplugs, but please check the jet practice schedule before booking if you are sensitive to noise. Some guests enjoy watching the jets fly overhead.

• Storms in the winter are out of our control, and you may experience power outages during that time.
