What makes this property unique
This house is dear to our hearts. It is in a perfect location to view amazing sunsets, right on the water, on a dead end street for quiet time but near a marina, the Village of Union Springs and multiple wineries for some fun. We want you to feel at home in our house so you are welcome to use all the staples and condiments in the full kitchen as well as shampoo and soap in the bathroom. You are welcome to use what you need but please leave what you don't use for the next guests that come.
