Overview

The setting is described as secluded while still being convenient to main roads. The home is smoke-free and is hosted on a property where the homeowner lives on-site in a separate unit.
Outdoor space & recreation
A highlight is the elevated deck with bar-style seating oriented toward the “spectacular” views, plus a private yard for relaxing and play. Guests also have access to a shared in-ground outdoor pool, and the property includes a gas grill for cookouts. A nature preserve is located across the street for easy walks and hikes.
Indoor layout & in-unit amenities
The interior is single-story once inside, with a queen bedroom and a sleeper sofa in the living room. Comfort features include central air conditioning, heating, ceiling fans, and two Smart TVs (cable TV is also listed). The unit includes free Wi‑Fi, a washer, and supplied towels/linens and complimentary toiletries.

Best for
This guest house best suits couples or solo travelers who want a peaceful, view-focused getaway with easy outdoor time—especially mornings on the deck and afternoons by the shared pool. It also works well for small families or friends thanks to the sleeper sofa, private yard, and kid-friendly setup. Pet owners will appreciate that it’s pet-friendly (fee applies) and has outdoor space for dogs to enjoy.
Travel tips
Plan to arrive by car: parking is in a circular driveway for up to 2 vehicles, and the area is set up for driving to beaches, casinos, and restaurants. Entry requires a flight of stairs plus an additional step, so pack accordingly if you have heavy luggage or mobility considerations. If you want the pool, note it’s shared and seasonal conditions may affect use.
