But the best part is the location- the land this property sits on. You get your own personal bay, wildlife viewing deck, kayak launch, tide pools, and hiking paths. It is very remote and absolutely magical. ##### Kristopher H.

This is our second year visiting this VRBO and it fits our needs perfectly. The kitchen is huge and pretty well stocked. The BBQ grill works great. We loved having a washer and dryer to use. The beds are comfortable with lots of extra bedding if needed. We love the huge long table for dinners, games and puzzles. The house is located down and long drive so we feel safe hanging out in the yard with our street stupid dogs. The view of the water is delightful.Hope to stay again next year! ##### Suzanne B.
