For us (4) adults, This was the perfect place, location, and proximity to water. We could not have been any happier than staying at this place. Neighbors were respectful and considerate of our stay. The owner promptly responded to a question that I had. If the property owner will have us again, we plan on coming back late October or early November. And hopefully many times after that! This is in our opinion of five star place. ##### George V.
