About this house rental
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.

Because of a maintenance problem at the original house we booked, I was notified the morning of our 4:00 pm check-in that the unit was no longer available. The host offered another smaller property with fewer beds. I'm not sure what we would have done if he had not had another option.Since it was last minute, we really had no other viable option. It worked out to be fine. It was comfortable. Two of my sons slept on the couches the whole time. There were ants and a few roaches. I know that's a problem at the coast.Also, I paid the pet deposit because I thought my daughter in law was staying at the unit and the dog would be there. Instead she opted for a dog friendly hotel. I did not know this until Thursday afternoon when I arrived at the location. I requested a refund on the pet deposit, but the host did not reply to my inquiry.This is the first time I have rented a Vrbo. I would do things a little differently if I did it again.

A very clean and comfortable stay with lots of space to spread out, play cards, put out a spread of food, then go walk on the quiet beach.Don’t expect marble and granite here - It’s a charming older home with creaky wood floors and cottage vibes. Beds are very comfortable. Very cool “birds nest” bedroom on the top floor. There’s tons of comfy couch seating for TV at night. We would stay here again.

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!

When you walk up the steps sag underneath your weight. The house was hot and some of the fans didn't work. George did bring a plug in fan which helped some. There were random holes in the floor. The place was clean. Not as close to the beach as the pictures lead on. The beach part itself was nice. Pretty secluded so not a lot of people. If it wasn't so hot the entire time we would have enjoyed our stay a lot more.
