The house was big enough for 9 people to stay in. All the rooms were very clean and the house had everything we needed and more.Great views of the water from the back deck and plenty of seating there so everyone can enjoy. We loved the peace and quiet! Everyone on the island is friendly and full of information. We can’t wait to come back!
