About this property

Captain's Lookout | Roof Deck & Harbor Views

Enjoy spectacular water views from the rooftop deck, sea breezes, and walkable access to beaches, galleries, restaurants, and live music. This cozy coastal retreat features three outdoor spaces, a queen Tempur-Pedic bed, strong WiFi, private parking, and easy access to scenic Wonson Cove for kayaking and paddleboarding.

    • Private “coffee deck” off the bedroom

    Sleeping Arrangements
    • Upstairs bedroom with queen Tempur-Pedic mattress and adjoining bathroom
    • Queen sleeper sofa in the living room
