Couldn’t have been better. The view was beautiful, and the outdoor spaces were perfectly set up with comfortable seating and a hot tub—we loved watching the sunset outside. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and everything felt relaxing and well thought out. We’ll definitely be back!

Our host was amazing and incredibly sweet. She surprised us with a basket full of snacks, which had never happened to us before and was such a thoughtful touch. On top of that, the place was very clean and absolutely beautiful. The views in the mornings were breathtaking, all the way through sunset and was a great touch for our honeymoon cause my wife loved it so much. This place is truly amazing, and I will definitely be booking it again for my wife and me when I come back from Army basic training.

Amazing views and utter silence at night. After the first night you even forget that there is an entire house above you, we never felt like we're anything but the only two people in the entire world. The ability to take in morning coffee with only the birds keeping you company was the best experience I could have asked for. The hot tub is perfect for the setting and again there was never a feeling of not having a private area to relax in. Clean space and very well provided for if an extended stay is happening. Would recommend it to anyone and will keep it in mind when I need to steal away from the world.

The views from the outdoor seating area are top notch. Looking out across the sound every night at sunset was the perfect way to end the day. This was the perfect spot for our stay. Birds and deer every morning in the yard and on our way off and on the island as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our trip everything was perfect.

We had a wonderful stay for our anniversary. Despite the stormy weather we found it so cozy and relaxing. The view was beautiful. Everything was clean and the kitchen stocked with our basic needs. Jennelle was so kind to even purchase a pizza stone for us to use since we brought makings for homemade pizza on the BBQ. She was extremely quick to respond to our messages and friendly. We saw multiple deer and a bald eagle. One of our favorite getaway stays to date!

This property is beautiful. We had such a relaxing, tranquil and refreshing time. Watching the sunset from the hot tub was so wonderful. We saw so much beauty in the area, so many sweet animals...deer and fawns, bald eagles, hummingbirds. We hope to return someday and highly recommend this sweet elegant retreat.
