Perfect getaway for a long weekend. We did not want to leave. Close enough to the beach, but so quiet it seems a world away. Skip & Lea are wonderful hosts.

This is my idea of paradise. I loved that the water was practically at our doorstep. Having access to the kayaks, paddle boards, and fire pits made it a memorable and fun week. Every little detail of our comfort seemed to be thought about and accommodated for. We hope to be back!

This place was beautiful and tranquil. Right on the water. We even got lucky enough to sit and watch a thunderstorm pass by from inside the boathouse through the large glass door. Overall it was an amazing experience. You won’t regret coming for a stay.
