The historic house, landscaping, pool, neighborhood, and BSL area were far greater than imagined. We rented both the main house and upper guest quarters for a very comfortable visit with family. The collection of mostly local artwork had us out shopping. Great collection of books and cookbooks to enjoy. The quiet established neighborhood was easy distance to restaurants, shopping, and a few blocks to water. Lots of kayak opportunities close by kept us busy, as well. Super communication with Mary Ellen, who made us feel very welcome. Breakfast on the screened porch, kayak mid day, lunch out, pool late afternoon, dinner in the dining room, followed by card games or tv .... All made for a perfectly relaxing trip. If you like old buildings, art, and the outdoors, this is the place for you.
