Special Notes: The owner lives on-site. The House adjacent to the Carriage House also rents on VRBO and common areas are accessible to both rentals. The Carriage House is on the second floor over the garage and is not wheelchair accessible.

This rental is pet friendly (if pet fee paid at booking) however due to the free ranging dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, geese, and turkey, visiting pets must be kept on a lease when outdoors (unless enjoying the beach/bay). The one resident rooster will crow in the early morning hours. As an estate, renovation, alterations and/or upgrades may be ongoing on-site during the lease period. Such work, if any, would be limited to the grounds (driveway, pond, dock, landscaped areas, forest, etc.) and would not be on or within the leased property itself (the Carriage House).
