Easy check in. Jen had thought of all the details big and small to make your experience and stay as welcoming and comfortable as could be. From the welcoming fresh smell, snacks, complimentary beverages chairs for the beach, wagon, kayaks, bikes to the cooler for the beach and so much more. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

We had a great time! The property has a ton of amenities that we take advantage of during our stay like bikes, kayaks and a fire ring in the back yard with a supply of firewood. The host must have anticipated every tiny need of a traveler and filled the kitchen with all appliances and supplies one could possibly think of. Same goes for the bathroom, just like in a first class hotel.
