Walk Just 1 Block to Enjoy Picture Perfect Sunsets & Famous Fish Boils at Old Post Office Inn

The Space

Escape to our updated log-style retreat, where modern comfort meets rustic charm. This two-bedroom home is the perfect getaway for up to four guests, offering a serene setting just moments from the water.

Inside, the living room is bathed in natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. Relax after a day of exploring with high-speed internet, cable TV, and Smart TVs. The remodeled, fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for your cooking and baking needs, and a washer and dryer are available for your convenience. The home features two comfortable bedrooms—one with a king-size bed and one with a queen-size bed—and a collection of games and puzzles for cozy nights in.

Step outside onto the spacious deck, complete with outdoor dining furniture and a gas grill for cookouts. In the evening, gather around the fire pit in the large backyard to roast s'mores under the stars.
