Family of 7 came for high school graduation. The cottage was very nice and the hosts were excellent. Beautiful property. We were pretty busy but we did make some time for just a little fishing. The kitchen had anything we needed. We would definitely come back.
The property was perfect for us. Plenty of room and in a great location. John and Karen were very gracious and friendly. Especially when we had a mix up with our departure date. Thank you, again, John and Karen!
Chose this VRBO to be close to one of the siblings and their family. A great house for this, and the owners went out of the way to make us feel at home.
Great place to hang out with family in relaxed atmosphere. Bathrooms a bit dated but worked well for our group. Easy walking distance to restaurants and waterfront.
The owners were the best. This property was super clean and the location was the best. The owners went above and beyond to make our stay the best.
