The Veggie Wagon is a 3-min. walk, where you can grab all kinds of local fare, like take and bake meals, hard ciders/beers/wine, baked goods. The blood orange cider is my personal favorite. Coffee lovers don't fear for Majik Beans is just a short walk past the Hang Ten restaurant, on the walk you'll also pass Kate's Pancake home, where you should definitely try the Banana Nut French toast. For burritos as big as your head, lol, check out Flaming Amy's Burrito Barn, delicious! Last but not least on our favorite's list is Britt's Donuts, which is open seasonally on the Boardwalk. They're so good that they announce their re-opening every year on the local news!

We have an onsite designated parking spot for our unit, so you don't have to concern yourself with parking access or costs. Our home is completely furnished but we do not supply linens.
