Surrounded by charming cottages in the idyllic seaside community of Ocean Park, this historic 1880’s guest house sits on the town square, one block from the beach and steps away from the soda fountain, bakery, restaurant, shuffleboard, tennis courts, and library. Accommodations are clean and comfortable yet modest, and so are the prices.
