Incredible property, wonderful host. My wife, daughter, and I just completed a four night stay here. Everything about the place is fantastic. The attention to detail, the cleanliness, the location, and the waterfront setting are all deserving of a 5 star rating. We will be back.
As VRBO owners ourselves, we’re very picky when it comes to places. However this one was incredible. There isn’t a single thing the hosts didn’t think of. The place is incredibly comfortable, spacious and relaxing. We’ll definitely be back!
