Summary: If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to step directly into a 1930’s, over-the-garage, beachy, vintage apartment with minimal updates this is your chance. The location is great, steps to the beach and 3 blocks from Main Street which is filled with retail shops, restaurants and coffee stops. The separate bedroom has a comfortable queen bed with plenty of warm blankets. (We stayed there Nov/Dec). The VRBO Host was very responsive and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed without being obtrusive. There is street parking only. In the light-filled main room there is a wood-burning fireplace (wood provided!), and a large smart screen TV. The wifi was fast and the place was quiet except for the occasional jet flying overhead. The little kitchenette had everything we needed to prepare and make our meals. Bathroom was well stocked, big fluffy towels. With some deep cleaning and modern basics, this could be a cute, retro retreat. As it stands, it’s authentic to the 1930s in ways most travelers would not expect. Enjoy!
