This home is designed as a quiet retreat for friends & family. This is a perfect space if you want to explore the bay & get some downtime to reset. We do provide high-speed WIFI and a bunch of fun board games for our guests to enjoy. Two bedrooms are well-designed with extra comfortable mattresses. We live downstairs from your 2nd floor vacation home & are always available to help.
Beds:
We offer the best sleep of your life!
You will have a full size bed in each bedroom and a trundle twin bed in the living room for additional sleeping space if needed. An antique Armoire offers additional storage for guests using the trundle bed.
Our full size beds start with a quality mattress followed by layers of goodness. A mattress protector is our base then a gel infused memory foam topper, then a quilted mattress pad before topping with premium microfiber linens that are built for year-round relaxation! They're moisture-resistant and designed to keep you warm in the winter and act as cooling sheets in the summer.
Before every guest stay all bedding is kissed with bleach and then steamed followed by a wash of UV light . We have the cleanest beds in all the land.
