We had a relaxing visit at this little gem. Our only complaint was a lack of towels, but we discovered more in their storage room. We also bought towels and left them for future guests. The microwave didn't work, but that's such a minor inconvenience. The home is so peaceful! We were there for a death in a family so it meant the world to us that it was so very relaxing. Definitely check out the trading post shop that does pizza. It was delicious! The screened in porch was our favorite place to eat, enjoy coffee and a cocktail in the evening. My four year old caught a fish off of a line she found in the sand and an old hook with a piece of cheese. I bet the fishing is great if you bring the gear!

Thank you for your kind words. We're glad you found peace during your stay and appreciated the property. We're sorry for the towel oversight and microwave issue and will address these. Your gesture of leaving towels for future guests is greatly appreciated. It's wonderful to hear about your child's fishing adventure and the delightful moments on the porch. Thank you for sharing your experience and the tip about the trading post shop. Safe travels!
