Summary: What an excellent stay. Totally great property in an extremely unique and historic location. Kitchen well stocked, comfy living area, comfy beds and the best views ever. Good internet, nice deck area, and it was so fun talking to people coming to check out the lighthouse who were amazed that you could rent the place. We booked 14 months in advance when the listing was already 1/3 booked for the summer, get it early folks!
