Lovely stay

We had a lovely stay with our two dogs. The property was as described and the host was very responsive and generous in their interactions with us. The home was quaint and cozy and provided us with a lovely location to spend Thanksgiving together. The beach is a five minute walk from the home and lovely even in the off season.
