Charming House with perfect location
This house is furnished beautifully. Furniture is comfortable. Kitchen is up to date and has everything you could possibly want. The beds are comfortable. TheTV worked great too. The location is within walking distance to everything…..restaurants, shops and the water….well maybe you would want to drive to the Tiki Bar but you definitely want to visit it! Thank you for a memorable trip in a comfortable house.

Great house, great location!
We needed a short little get-a-way that would be relaxing and low key. This was the place. Had a wonderful time and the house was just lovely. It has so much character yet so comfortable at the same time. Would highly recommend the Tyson House.
