SUPER well appointed and clean in every nook and cranny, the owners have restored this adorable 1950's brick home with love and creativity, and made the original tub, tiles, floor and kitchen super comfortable and pretty and clean. Fantastic place! Wonderful owners, very understanding during hurricane evac time that was hard for us, they made it easy. Thank you so much for having this cute, loving place available and so well managed and well done in restoration. Linens and hospitality details like kitchen and bath items very thoughtfully and generously done. Great screened lanai and nicely treed fenced yard and carport as well. Even great art on the walls evoking 50's and garden feel. A+++++ ##### laura p. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica D. 17 Aug 2025 ##### Jessica D.
