Read the FAQ carefully before booking. The main level here is step-free — BUT it is NOT ADA-certified and has NO grab bars installed. If your group requires full ADA compliance (grab bars, raised toilet seats, roll-in shower), this property is NOT a fit. Email us with your specific needs and we'll be honest about whether we work for you.

Genuine accessibility · no marketing inflation

What 'accessible' actually means here.

Most listings say 'accessible' to mean 'a few fewer stairs'. We mean something specific: step-free entry from the driveway, ramps to both decks AND the Flex Barn, a main-level master suite with a King bed + en-suite + freestanding soaking tub, extra-wide entry doors (72x80 inches), and a 10-car driveway directly adjacent to the main entry.

We also mean specific things we DON'T have: no grab bars in the bathrooms. No raised toilet seats. No roll-in shower — the master bath has a freestanding soaking tub (climb-in) and a separate shower you step into, but neither is a zero-threshold roll-in fixture. No chair lift to the upstairs bedrooms. We're step-free in a real-world way, not ADA-compliant in a certification way.

The right move before booking: email us with your group's specific needs. We'll do a video walk-through or send measurements + detailed photos. If we're a fit, we're a real fit. If we're not, we'll tell you.

SC

"As the owner, ensuring my property is genuinely welcoming is personal. We designed the main level to be step-free because we wanted our own family members with mobility needs to feel at home. I'm always happy to do a personal video walk-through to confirm if the space is right for your group. Just ask."

— Soul Coulibaly, Owner

What "step-free" actually means in practice

Six moments your group has been missing.

Arrival

No bag-up-stairs panic

10-car driveway lands right at the step-free door. The wheelchair user, the walker user, the recent-surgery aunt — everyone unloads at the same entrance, at the same time, without a workaround.

The room everyone usually fights over

Main-level master with a freestanding soaking tub

King bed, en-suite, no stairs. The room normally claimed by whoever-called-first goes to whoever needs it. The soaking tub is real recovery, not a marketing line.

Morning ritual

Front-deck rocking chairs, ramp access

Coffee in the morning with the mourning doves and the bay in view. No step-up to navigate. The chair beside yours isn't empty because someone couldn't get out there.

Whatever your group does

The Flex Barn wheels in

Yoga, games night, movie projector, dance circle — 1,600 sqft, rubber floor, ramp in, ramp out. The activity isn't planned around who can't join; the activity is for everyone.

Wildlife from the rear deck

Purple martins, blue heron, deer at the feeder

Ramp access to the rear deck means the bay-edge wildlife isn't a story told by the able-bodied family members later. Everyone watches the heron together.

The trip that finally happens

Without anyone being "the one we can't bring"

The reunion that's been talked about for three years and never booked because of one person's mobility — this is where it finally happens. Honestly, that's the whole point of this property.

What Guests Say

"We had such a fantastic stay! The house truly lived up to the listing—tons of space for our group of 20, and the layout made it easy for everyone to relax and enjoy. The host was amazing: super responsive, thoughtful, and proactive with details and local tips. The property itself is beautiful and private, with a great backyard and a huge flex barn. The kitchen had everything we needed, and all the linens were spotless. We'd absolutely come back for another stay!"

"This is great property for folks looking for accessibility - there's a ramp and primary bedroom / bath are on the main floor. This was a must for us as we were traveling with elderly parents with limited mobility. The setting is scenic but the location is more remote than some — so good for those looking for a quiet and relaxing time. We enjoyed nearby restaurant called "Old Salty's." We appreciated how responsive the host was to our suggestions and questions. We appreciated small details, like laundry baskets in the rooms as well as Tupperware in the kitchen, puzzles and card games in the sitting area. I believe the host is continuing to add more amenities as guests send more suggestions!"

"We absolutely loved our stay. [The] house was beautiful, the amenities were excellent, and we loved the crabs!! We went for a family weekend (mix of 18 kids and adults) and it was very spacious and comfortable for everyone. The pergola in the back was an especially big hit! We highly recommend and would stay again."

The place was very clean and looked new. We had a wonderful time. The host was very accommodating and responsive. I highly recommend."

"The house was perfect for a large family get away. It was quiet and private enough that we had a great sense of privacy and comfort while still being not too far from stores, restaurants, and other things to do if you want to get outside. The views on the drive in and over the water were incredible"

Accessibility-specific questions

What you need to know before booking.

Honest: NO. The main level here is step-free — ramps, wide entry doors, no stairs to navigate — but it has NOT gone through ADA-certification and there are NO grab bars installed in the bathrooms. If your group has someone who requires ADA-compliant grab bars, raised toilet seats, or a roll-in shower, this isn't the right property — we'd rather tell you up front than fail you on arrival.

Have a question we didn't answer? The AI concierge in the bottom-right knows the property inside out.

Email us first. Then book with confidence.

We strongly recommend a pre-booking conversation for accessibility-focused trips. Send specifics; we'll send measurements + a video walk-through. Pay by card and it's saved at booking — nothing charged until the owner personally approves your dates and confirms the property fits your group's needs. No OTA fees, no resort fees, no surprise add-ons.
