Perfect for our family

It was a perfect place to stay to celebrate our daughters white coat ceremony. Beach is close and the pool and backyard was a perfect size for all of us (10) to hangout in. We would definitely rent here again.

Perfect place!

A lovely home to spend some relaxing days with family! The pool was much used and the short walk to the beach was perfect. Plenty places to eat and play all within walking distance. Had one question while we were there and Brad responded very quickly and took care of our needs. Great host and great place!

Great location, quiet neighborhood

Conveniently located. Try the nearby Les Petits Pleasures Bakery. Enjoyed the Lighthouse. Columbia Restaurant on St. George is iconic. Ran into a farmer's market on Wednesday at the Pier. Farmer's Market was really great.

Grandparents Anniversary Trip

We had a total of twenty two family members staying in two houses. We had a large home beachfront and this was our overflow for seven. The pool was an awesome compliment to our ocean front main camp and right around the corner. Brad was great to work with and the house was lovely and very clean.
