The property was perfect for our family. We really enjoyed the dock, especially in the evenings for fishing. We did not lack anything needed. Will definitely book here again in the future.
Great place to stay, a few minutes away from town and the beach. Home was really nice, very clean and had plenty of household items available for us to cook, etc.
