We spent a wonderful Labor Day weekend here and loved it. Our boys loved the bunk beds and want to share a bedroom now. Cute house, great location, and excellent host. We felt at home as soon as we walked in.

A Wonderful Stay!!!

We had a wonderful stay! The large kitchen was perfect and had plenty of space. The backyard was fantastic for our dog. It was so nice to have a comfortable fenced in outdoor space for Murphy to enjoy. The seating area outside was perfect with a giant umbrella. We would definitely stay here again. Close to town and the beach.
