The porch is arranged with Adirondack chairs forming a seating area on one end and a fabulous wicker day-bed on the other end, perfect for lazy book-reading afternoons.

After spending the day on the beach, you can rinse off in the fully-enclosed outdoor shower (hot and cold water). Then hop on one of the beach bikes to explore the adjoining beach towns in the late afternoon. In the evening, you have an easy walk to the world-famous Red Bar restaurant as well as several other outstanding dining opportunities. Stella Luna is the perfect vacation retreat for your family. You will want to come back year after year! *During the Spring Break and Summer seasons, we require a 7-night minimum stay (Sat - Sat time frame). Otherwise, there is a 3-night minimum.
