We stayed at the Shorebird for spring break with our teenage kids and fur baby. The house was as described with recent updates and improvements. Great location, peaceful and quiet for a family retreat. The large deck was perfect for our family.
We loved the location, loved the house the only negative was the living room furniture. It was very uncomfortable! We rented for 2 weeks but came home 1 night early for that reason. Everything else was perfect.
