This place was in a great spot to get local seafood, walk to beach, and see seals in the harbor. It was clean and worked well for our family. The loft space has a short ceiling so adults can not stand. Would love to visit again.

The shack was in the harbor and had great access to a beach, local charters, and restaurants. The shack itself was wonderful, the wifi was great, its seating was cozy, our kids loved the loft, and the kitchen allowed us to make several hime cooked meals. The owner was kind and responsive, he helped us troubleshoot something quickly and so it had no impact. Our stay there was enjoyable because we got to stay there.

The house was very comfortable and decorated to match it's name! There was no film on any surfaces and it had everything we needed except measuring cups. We were central to all the beaches we like going to and restaurants. We will definitely be back. There was great communication with the host when needed. Thank you
