My family of 4 enjoyed this home for a week in August. It is lovely on a quiet cove and close to everything. Very nicely renovated. Small but perfect for 4!

Thoroughly enjoyed our winter holiday stay. Very comfortable and wonderful views!
This home is amazing. My grown sons joined my husband and I to celebrate my 50th birthday and the home was perfect. The location is just right, the views are beautiful, and the home itself was just what our group needed! Plenty of room for the 6 of us to gather and enjoy time together. There are so many great restaurants and outdoor activities within a short driving distance.
