We had so much fun playing pool, laying out on the dock, kayaking and watching the boats go by. The house was very clean and owners were great to communicate with. The beds were so comfortable and loved sitting on the back deck watching the sunrise. Will definitely be back again.

Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan S. 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for a relaxing break We felt comfortable immediately upon arrival. The house is in a very quiet and picturesque location. We saw dolphins, spent hours on the dock fishing, and had a blast exploring the water on our personal paddle boards. The house was well stocked with cooking essentials and linens. Communication with the owner was seamless - they answered both of my questions within minutes. The house is about 30 minutes from takeout / grocery stores, so make sure to plan accordingly. We would recommend this place (and already have) to our friends and family. ##### Susan S.
