Set behind the main home on a street lined with Live Oaks, Palm Trees, Jasmine, Oleander and Azaleas, it includes a studio floorplan with a full bath and kitchenette. The property is within the Historic District boundaries, so guests immediately take a step back in time once outside with many of the local houses dating back to the early-mid 19th Century.

One of the nicest places we have stayed. Attention to detail to make sure you had all you would need. Clean, fresh and the most comfortable bed. The neighborhood was perfect for walking to the waterfront and all the great restaurants and cafes. This is a gem!
