I read a book in the late 60s or early 70s about a young girl that went to live with someone (perhaps aunts). She went out for a walk and to a house down the street where she met a family that had children near her age. She visited them and but came to find out they were actually from the past
It sounds like an Anne Lindbergh title: Either The Hunky Dory Dairy or one of the Pineapple Place books. Even if it’s not, they’re great books!
I’m wondering if this book could be Fog Magic by Julia Sauer. There’s a synopsis of it at Amazon. I read it in the 60’s, but they have reprinted a few times since it was first published.
Fog Magic – It sounds very similar anyway. I am going to read it and see if it is the one. Thanks
I believe this is Up The Pier Published in the early 1970’s

An off-season two weeks at a Welsh seaside resort involve ten-year-old Carrie with a family, visible only to her, that has been transported from 1921 by the magic of a lonely old gatekeeper, a relative who wants their company. Written by the author of “The Piemakers” and “The Nightwatchman”, which won the Phoenix Award in 1988, this book relates the adventures of Carrie who is staying at her aunts’s hotel together with her mother before they move into their new house.
Yes, Up the Pier for sure. Still remember it so clearly.
