We had an amazing time at this adorable new home. The views were incredible, dolphins sittings daily, boat traffic to watch.. and always a cool breeze on the back porch overlooking the water. We would definitely stay here time and time again if we visit the area in future years! The house was clean and well stocked with whatever we needed. Hosts were great with communication and accommodations!
