The location was great. We walked to a local restaurant that was on the water. Close to the beach. Property was quiet and had everything we needed to rest and unwind. Close to lote of great restaurants on the water.

This place was a gem! We loved our stay here. Cozy, clean, fun to have bikes to ride and kayaks to enjoy. No complaints!!! I'd come back any time.

Pictures do not accurately reflect this home. Yard is in disarray and uncared for in the front yard and backyard. Needs some serious organization and cleaning. Inside of home was clean, however lacked blankets and bathroom comforts such as nice towels.
