Watch the boats go by... Sea Bright beach house!

You will love staying in this adorable beach house! Our house is new to the rental market (1st rental was in June 2020). It is completely redecorated. Enjoy the decks: one in the front of the house where you can watch the boats go by, and the other one in the back of the house overlooking the backyard where you will find a breakfast table with a view of the river as well. You are a block from the beach, the supermarket, and the street filled with shops and restaurants. It's the perfect location!
