"I like that relatives or friends can come here and stay for a few days or a couple of weeks. They don’t even have to talk to us if they don’t want to," Rios said."We’re six blocks from the beach, and in a 12-block area, there are all kinds of restaurants.

The Lobensteins had seven children, and their youngest daughter, also named Pauline, lived in the cottage until 1943. From there, it had a variety of owners, with Rios and Canetti purchasing it in 2018, then handling the renovations from April through October of 2019. Advice came from helpful neighbors and island preservationists, including Scott Hanson, who deals in antiques and architectural salvage. One neighbor taught them how to clean up the door transoms without breaking the glass. Hanson gave them the recipe for sealing the shiplap: two coats of glossy polycrylic with a final coat of matte.
While they cleaned up and resealed the shiplap, they opted to leave it in its natural colors, so every room has planks in browns, tan, white and a few shades of green.
