This is our second summer staying at the Yellow fin. We love it! Very clean and well stocked. If you want to get away from the busy crowed beaches this is the perfect place. And you can’t bet the view!

It was a wonderful stay! Our extended family (7 adults, 2 children, and 2 springer spaniel's) 😊spent 5 days together with plenty of space to enjoy ourselves. The property was exceptionally clean and well taken care of. The kitchen had everything you would need, including spices. Our host was very hospitable, and checked in with us during our stay to make sure we didn't need anything. I would highly recommend the yellowfin for families looking to spend some quality time together. A very welcoming environment, all the way around. Thanks Jason!
