I am so grateful to have found this great home to rent for the month. It was the perfect spot to emerge back into the world after being in the hospital for 6+months. The house is really clean...freshly renovated...screened in patio was such a pleasure and having the river right out the back yard was so peaceful. The host was very hospitable and helpful and responded very quickly to any messages or questions I had. I highly recommend this VRBO option to everyone. It's bittersweet to leave...wish we were staying longer. ##### Tara I.

The rooms are small but cozy. The house is well maintained and the porch is screened in, to keep the bugs out. Drive to the beach and local attractions from here can be 40 minutes to an hour, but didn’t feel too bad, as traffic was light while we visited. ##### Roy Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom M. 13 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wedding weekend House was great.
