This house is like stepping back in time. The furnature and furnishings are beautiful antiques. The steam shower is fantastic and the claw foot tub is just the right size. While the bed is a double, it is cozy and the bedroom is quiet. We cooked in the kitchen and everything worked great. The view of the ocean from the roof balcony was excellent. Yes the stairs up are old, but so is the house! Built in 1888 there are bound to be some creaks. The heat system worked great and kept the old beauty nicely warm all night.
