Captains Quarters by the Bay - Walk to the Beach with your Pet. Smart TV w/ WIFI

If you can appreciate the character and quaint idiosyncrasies of a century-old home, then you should love our new Captains Quarters! Our beautiful older home will have some floors that are not yet perfect and are not perfectly level, and you may notice a bit of a lean here and there!

But it has been updated with Central Heat/AC, new ceiling fans throughout, High Speed WiFi and updated appliances - all designed to allow you a wonderful beach side vacation!

The Captain's Quarters offers 4 bedrooms with 2 Queen beds and 3 Twin beds. We also have a bonus room in the unique attic space with a King size bed that is accessed with a spiral stairway that was rescued from the Grand Cavalier Hotel. With the "attic" area and King size bed, we can actually sleep 9.

From the upper windows we do have a beautiful view of the bay and beach. Although we are not directly on the beach, we are just steps away. There is a home in between us and the beach but there are no streets to cross and the walk to the beach is just a minute or just a few sips of coffee!

Even with the modernization of the property, it is a historical home that is now over 115 years old. It has some eccentricities that reflect building standards and designs from the turn of the last century that lends to its charm as an older beach cottage. But even so, we hope that you will love our older and charming home.

Parking is just outside your door in front of our 2 car garage.

We feature a large (65") smart TV and high speed Wifi for your work or entertainment.

Great get away with beach access!
Beautiful older home with quirks. Beach access is great. Home doesnt keep cool well in the bedrooms, but wasnt a deal breaker. Some picnic ants in the kitchen and the ice maker wasnt working. I let the owner know and they were VERY pleasant. Definitely WOULD RECOMMEND! Great stay. Thank you!

Cozy house, short walk to a quiet beach
We had a week long stay. The house was very spacious and cozy in a quiet neighborhood. A few updates are needed but can see it is a work in progress. It is a very charming older house with a short path to the quiet beach, which has beautiful sunrises and sunsets. George and Kathleen were very friendly responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely rent here again!

Large quirky house close to the beach
Cool old house, very large - needs repairs + updates to make more functional. Enjoyed old house layout/quirks on 1st floor. Kitchen updated, functional. Only ice maker didn’t work. The 1st floor bath huge, clean, functional. Plenty of seating in LR. DR is good. 2nd floor reno chopped up in way that makes it difficult to navigate. Front 2 BRs w/Q beds are fine, but must walk through the only back BR (2 Twins) to access 2nd bathroom, area with 1 twin, and bottom of spiral staircase to attic area. 2nd floor bath (besides toilet) was not functional. Tiny sink poured water on floor when used. Shower didn’t work. Only functional lighting was set of string lights strung above window. Knob/tube switch for overhead light didn’t work or bulb burnt out. Spiral staircase to attic was sturdy, a plus. When attic used as sleeping space, must descend stairs to use bathroom at night. Not much area where you can fully stand in the attic. Cool space with window unit/baseboards for heating and cooling. Light switch for lamp is located in 2nd floor hallway. Needs near bed. Nice flooring, view of water. One crank window broken at hinge won’t close. Sm hole next to chimney allows water into attic when it rains hard. On arrival, 4-5 windows were open or not locked. Not best neighborhood to leave access when no one there. Short walk to nice beach/water area. Could not access WiFi as check-in sheet was inaccurate, but the owner provided the updated info when asked via message.
