A backyard shed includes two adult bikes and we're just a few blocks away from Beer Church and Lions Pavillion Park and Beach. *New fenced in back yard so the pups can roam a bit more freely (just be sure to double check the gate :)

Wonderful stay

The photos don’t do this rental justice - it’s so homey and cute. Everything was spotless, and the beds were comfortable. It was easy to stay home and make dinner, and we had a lot of fun using the bonfire outside. It’s also a short walk to the main restaurants in town. We’ll definitely be staying here again.

Clean, Comfy, and Dog-Friendly Perfection

What a perfect getaway! The house was spotless, super comfy, and in the best location. Our two dogs were in heaven with the fenced yard, and we all loved the dog beach at Warren Dunes just 20 minutes away. So many little touches made our stay extra special. We can’t wait to come back!
Everything you need and a fabulous grocer is nearby!
