THE CARMICHAEL: LUXURY VACATION RENTAL

The Victorian half of the home welcomes you with intricate details, ornate decor and picturesque bay windows. The foyer boasts soaring ceilings, intricate moldings, and a majestic staircase.
The South side of the home, right off the formal dining room, has a modern kitchen and a large living room with vaulted ceilings and a hand built spiral staircase.

When it's time to retire for the evening, the modern side offers cozy twin beds atop the spiral staircase and a queen bed in a serene bedroom complete with a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom. On the Victorian side, find serenity in the second-floor bedrooms, one with a king bed and another with a queen, each boasting mesmerizing water views. The third floor transforms into a casual retreat with extra-large bean bags, a TV area, and four twin beds, ideal for late-night conversations or gaming sessions.


Step outside to a selection of outdoor spaces designed for relaxation and entertainment. Whether it's gathering around the firepit on the expansive patio, enjoying the morning air on the wraparound porch, or hosting a barbecue over the carport on the sizable deck, you'll find the perfect spot to unwind. Choose between a gas or charcoal grill to suit your culinary preferences.
