We stayed here for a week and the home was absolutely lovely. It was very clean, bright, and cheerful, and felt comfortable from the moment we arrived. One especially thoughtful touch was that the host had decorated for Christmas, which was completely unexpected and made the stay feel extra special. It was a wonderful place to relax, and we really enjoyed our time here.

Beautiful property in a great location! By far my favorite property I've stayed at in the area so far! The home was conveniently located to restaurants and the water with a lot of offerings for entertainment near by. The host went above and beyond with small details to really make this feel like home away from home!! I highly recommend it!
