Wonderful view and spacious

We had a wonderful time and experience. The view was breath taking. Sun rise and set made me want to set out the whole time. The house plenty of space to entertain family and friends without feeling closed in on.

Family Vacation

The house was in a perfect location! Right on the bay with great fishing and lots of space to spread out. The upstairs was very open and we were able to still enjoy the views while inside. The beach is close by but you'll need to drive there since it is a few blocks away and across the main road. My only suggestion would be to bringing extra bath towels. We definitely plan on staying here again in the future!

Bay house heaven

This bay house is a very relaxing place. Sit out and watch the bay. Fishing right off covered dock. Some of the towels and pillows could be replaced. Everyone slept very well and said their beds were comfortable. The views are the best on the bay. We used the BBQ pit and fire place upstairs it was very nice on the cold night. The property is well kept and very accommodating for the six of us.
