Enjoyable visit. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood and on a cove where we enjoyed the evenings fishing and hanging out on the deck with plenty of comfortable seating. Hosts were quick to respond to any issue.

AMAZING VIEWS AND GREAT DECKS!

Really awesome vacation home with plenty of room inside and out. Great to have 3 full bathrooms to accommodate everyone! Wide open views to the bay and very private and quiet canal space. Enjoyed the kayaks and yard space to play games and hang out in the many choices of lounging on the 2 decks. The family thoroughly enjoyed this home!

Great location!

This is a great house for a family trip. There is a ton of space and you can't beat the views. We came during a windy, cold weekend so we couldn't try out the kayaks and water sports, but there were a lot of options. The deck has great views of the bay and the fishing was great off the dock. We will definitely come back during the summer.

Fishing and kayaking adventure

We loved the fishing and kayaking! The enclosed upper deck was great for our little ones. The green light was a great way to observe the sea life. The community pool and playground were really nice. The beach is so close too! Highly recommend!!
