Beautiful Location

Perfect for our family gathering. Several places within the home and outside for us to share laughs, meals, and family time. We enjoyed relaxing out on the screened porch area and watching the sunset from the pier. The steep driveway was unexpected but we managed. More than adequate parking given the size of our party.

This property was perfect for our 4 household family. The kitchen is very well equipped with tons of counter space. The outdoor space was great and the pier is where we spent most of our time. It’s very nicely furnished and feels like home.
