This beautifully renovated brick ranch home blends a soft, coastal-blue color palette with warm hardwood floors, creating a bright and relaxing retreat for families, groups, and remote workers alike. Inside, you'll find multiple thoughtfully styled living spaces — a cozy skylit living room, a second den with with comfortable seating and coastal-inspired art, giving everyone room to spread out. The chef's kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, and an oversized island, flowing into not one but two charming dining areas— perfect for a large family breakfast or an elegant formal dinner. The home offers several beautifully decorated bedrooms, each with its own coastal character — think crisp blue quilts, iron and wood bed frames, and gallery-style coastal art — along with multiple full bathrooms featuring granite counters, walk-in showers, and dual vanities.

The fenced backyard offers privacy and green space, and the long driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles.

This was one of the nicest Airbnb's we have stayed at so far! The host was very accommodating! This house had enough room for my family including my big fur baby for a reasonable fee. There were nice options to add a personal chef and leisure time for early and late check in and check out for a fee! There was even a cute little play room with a BUNCH of Legos, books, and coloring books for the kids and an entire cabinet of board games! This house is very great for playing hide and seek with the kids because there are so many big spacious rooms for them to hide in! The kitchen was well stocked with utensils but there wasn't very many spices or seasonings so I do recommend bringing some small spices if you plan on cooking! There was plenty of room for two cars to park as well. Overall, the house was very clean and the host was very attentive to our needs! We even had a cute little goody basket for provided by the host when we arrived! 10/10 would stay here again!

My 14 month old absolutely loved this place. It was baby friendly and he loved running all over the house. I loved how incredibly clean it was. The directions for check in and check out were very clear. Our beds and the couch were very comfortable. The whole house has a super comfortable feeling. You walk in and instantly make yourself at home. My favorite part was that there is a work station/game room. My husband shot hoops holding my son, and i cheered them on as i worked. It was a nice way to spend a little extra time together. I would definitely stay here again.
