Thank you for the great review. Glad you loved the house. Thanks for the note about the garage — we’ll update the listing to clarify that parking can be tight for large vehicles. Hope to host you again.

Guys fishing weekend, great stay. Having the boat dock was the reason we selected this property. Pretty much a new dock, very well done. House has great sounds views and is set up well to be an accommodating rental property. Great location right on the water and close to the beach. We will stay here again, thanks for having us!

Hi Mike! Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that your fishing weekend was a success. We would love to host your next fishing trip soon!
I worked out of the home for a month and it was absolutely awesome to watch the boats, paddle boards, and even the storms roll through outside the big glass windows.
The house is decorated perfectly and well stocked with what you need. And more importantly, it was clean!! And it came with fresh linens and a 3 car garage!
Great place. Highly recommend.

Disappointed
From the pics and reviews, the place looked and sounded great! Upon entry, we were very disappointed. The place was just wasn’t clean. There were dead bugs, the couches were dirty, and the walls and cupboards were grimy. The realty company was very kind though and the location was nice.
