*To access Shipyard Beach there is a free beach parking lot adjacent to the Sonesta Resort. During peak season you are provided with a pass to access the Shipyard beach parking lot. If that lot is full there is an overflow lot with continuous shuttle service which drops you off right at the boardwalk to the beach. If you choose to bike to the beach it is approximately 1 mile using the bike paths. .

You are provided with a starter supply of toilet paper, paper towels, bath soap, dishwashing soap, laundry machine tablets, etc. You are provided one set of towels for each guest. There is a Dollar Tree close to the villa where you can buy other household staples if needed. We do not provide beach chairs, bikes or beach towels as that became impossible to manage from a distance. There are numerous places to rent bicycles with online coupons for the week and they will be delivered to the property prior to your arrival if you choose to book ahead. Beach chairs and umbrellas can be rented at the beach or there are a multitude of stores nearby to purchase these items.

If you have items to donate when your week is up they appreciate that also. You can find them on Facebook. I am a very responsive host and always happy to answer any questions by text or phone call . I can give suggestions for dining, shopping, recreation, music venues, etc. My goal is to ensure you have a great vacation.
