Something to note is I know Bridget does warn others that her husband makes furniture in the garage, but I never even heard that. I heard footsteps and if the vacuum is going it sounds like it’s in the same room but you have headphones on. If anyone is a light sleeper or is looking for peace and quiet it might not be the best place for you. Also important to note that the only close beach is one you have to take a pretty serious hike to. It’s really secluded, yet still not a perfectly quiet area. It’s definitely great for the value and if you don’t mind the drive it would work well. Overall, I would likely not stay that far out again, something I wish I would have looked into more, what beaches were close by.
