It was clean, private and everything you needed was available. It was a bit smaller than we had envisioned, and the fold-out couch was not really suitable for anyone sleeping on it for the dip in it. Suitable for a couple sleeping in the large bed. It was close to Mavilette beach, which was the plan for our trip down.

Simple and cozy, everything we needed. The pocket door was kinda stiff and hard to open and close, but everything else was just perfect. Would definitely come back :)

Lee went beyond expectation and was very accommodating. Also parked(backed up) the cars with the trailers for us. The unit itself has all you need, and there is a nice hot shower.

The backyard and path to the river were nice, very picturesque. The riverside dock is a wonderful spot to sit and relax, have your morning coffee or sip a drink in the evening. Lots of space in the apartment for four people. Kitchen was well stocked, the coffee was good.

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay. Lee was so kind, helpful, and easy to communicate with. He made us feel very welcome with our big dog and not at all a bother. The accommodation is well cared for and had everything we needed. Super close to a beautiful beach. And to top it off we were able to enjoy the kayaks that Lee offered. I would highly recommend.
