Great Place to Stay
My extended family stayed at this lovely property. Everything was as listed. It is in a great location, right on the water. The property was well kept and very welcoming and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch, fishing from the dock, playing games on the back porch and so much more. Check in and check out were very easy, and the host was easy to communicate with and quick with responses. This place had something for everyone! We enjoyed ourselves so much we are going to book for next summer!
