Serene Location & Wonderful Accommodations
Because this house is nestled in the woods, it provides a serene experience with only another home next door on one side and a forest on the other side. The walk to the private beach is about 10 minutes. Very doable and the home owner provides a wagon to help with transporting your belongings down the road to the stairway that leads to the beach. The owner, Hannah, quickly replied to all of my correspondences with helpful details. Her home is welcoming, very clean, and fully equipped with all the necessary accommodations you will need for a lovely stay. I have rented many homes in the nearby areas over the years, and this one is going on my return list. Great home and attentive owner. You won't be disappointed!
