We throughly enjoyed our time at Murphy’s Bay Retreat. The condo was clean, well appointed, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. The host was incredibly welcoming and very responsive. I appreciate the fact that he texted during our stay to ensure that we had not encountered any issues and had everything we needed. The condo is a short, easy walk to the public beach access point. I would definitely stay here again.
