Dolly St

Right on the sand, this beach house welcomes you with three bedrooms, one king, one queen, and a bunk room. The kitchen is stocked for any feast, the tub deep for long soaks. An indoor electric fireplace warms cool nights, while the fire pit and grill call you outdoors. There's seating for sunset, a generator for storms, and the tide itself for company and close enough to hear, near enough to touch. Guests will find three comfortable bedrooms: a master with a king bed and a private bath featuring a deep soaking tub, a second with a queen, and a bunk room fitted with a queen-over-queen and twin-over-twin for lively company. The kitchen is a cook's delight, with its gas stove, double oven, fine blender, and beverage fridge ready for evening cheer. There's a tidy desk for letter-writing or work, a laundry room for convenience, a deck with seating and wide views of the sea, and a shaded patio below for quiet hours. Outdoors, rinse away the salt in the shower, then gather round the large firepit as the daylight slips away. Guests have the run of the house, from the bedrooms and baths to the kitchen, living spaces, and outdoor areas. Only the master closet remains closed, set aside for the owner's belongings and the cleaner's supplies. The garage is kept mostly for storage, though guests are welcome to use select items such as the grill when the occasion calls. All other spaces are yours to enjoy, as if they were your own. The surest and quickest way to reach me is by sending a message through the booking site's messenger. A phone call or a text will do as well, should that be your preference.
