We welcome your dog with a few considerations. All dogs must be at least one years old and house broken. Dog mus be no to low shedding. Limit to 1 dog unless permission by owner .

Our house is in perfect condition as it is new to the rental market as this is our fifth year and we are the original owners. Every year we update our property--new rugs, shower curtains, and lots of improvements. We just redecorated the master bedroom with new king size bed and linens, new queen beds on second floor, black out curtains and shutters. We installed new flooring upstairs in 2022 and we replaced our washer and dryer with new larger capacity Kenmore w/d for 2023. In 2024 we replaced all of the kitchen appliances and added a new television in the first floor bedroom. We also updated the family room lighting. In 2025 we changed out all the bedding and renovated the powder room. We also added new lighting in the kitchen and added pendant lights.

Although we rent our beach house, we also vacation at our BTD home, so it is important that the beach house is a wonderful place for your vacation and ours!

We ask that our guests and their family and friends are non-smokers--we live in a friendly neighborhood. Our neighbors are also our friends who we know and respect, and if there is smoking in or near the house, they get the smoke too. Thanks for your understanding.

The kitchen is well supplied with all you could need even a blender, coffee grinder, frother for lattes, Keurig and Hamilton Dual Coffee Machine with pod and carafe service, cookie sheets, cooling rack, and lots of baking pans/sheets/muffin tins. There are lots of kitchen gadgets for cooks or grill masters! We have an extra table and several chairs in the garage for "al fresco" (outdoor) dining!

The house is well equipped and has new smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Brand new 65” LCD Smart TV for the family room and a new 45” TV in the downstairs bedroom. There are 2 40" TVs in the upstairs bedrooms and another smaller TV upstairs in the bonus room. We installed a wireless entry for no hassle with keys and easy entry for all of your family and friends. The code is deleted after your stay and the new guests get a new code for security.

The downstairs Bedroom has a firm king bed and a private en suite bathroom. Upstairs you will find 2 large bedrooms; in one bedroom is a queen bed/with new bedding/decorating and the shared buddy bath leads to a perfect family bedroom or kid's bedroom with a queen bed and 2 twin beds.

The bonus room has a twin bed, wardrobe with a small tv. All of the bedrooms are newly decorated and have fresh quilts/pillows and linens. You can find a brand new large Kenmore washer and dryer in the downstairs laundry room with high tech features.

The large front porch has a swing, 2 Adirondack chairs and 2 comfortable rocking chairs. It is a wonderful and quiet space to enjoy your morning coffee or to watch the sunset in the evening.

The garage has 3 adult bikes. You will also find lots of beach and pool toys for your use. There is also a large wood table and chairs in the garage if you want to add extra outdoor seating for family gatherings.
