An episode of The Curious Case of… was filmed right here at the property. Stay where the cameras rolled and experience the same atmosphere that caught the producers’ attention.

One block away from the water & 3 blocks away from Dolphin Cove. Enjoy walking and site-seeing. Perfect for going kayaking, paddle boarding or just stay relaxing in the backyard. It is located at 5 minutes walking distance from the train station and 7 minutes away from downtown.

This was a great place to stay. We went in the fall. Beautiful back yard with ample seating for a small group of guests. Super clean with loads of charm and accoutrements to make the stay convenient and relaxing. The host, Maritza, was friendly and accommodating and answered any texted questions immediately. Driveway parking, but uber and food delivery-friendly.

Cute house with everything we needed. Beds were comfortable. Maritza was super communicative. My only negative was one of the neighbors was blasting music fairly late into the night. Not sure if it was just because it was a holiday weekend. Otherwise no complaints at all!
