The space Harbourside Hangout is a century home, one of the town’s originals. It has all the personality that comes with age, including tilting floors and treasures in the walls like horsehair insulation from the early 1900's. It’s a creative passion-project we’re tinkering away with, and we’re excited to share the space with you. The studio is full of character and you can expect to find many upgrades with everything you will need for your getaway. The open concept offers a full kitchen, a lounge area with 55-inch Sony TV, a luxurious king size bed, a gas fireplace, and A/C. The cozy lounge is a perfect year round hang out nook. There’s lots to peruse in the wooden hutch with games, books, art supplies, and retro CDs to listen to on a 90's-style Walkman. Or grab a bowl of popcorn and indulge in some smart TV entertainment. In the warmer seasons: What makes our place extra special are the several ‘hangout’ nooks. The cheerful sunroom is fully stocked with fresh herbs and kale, help yourself!
