Weekend Getaway

This little house was what we needed. A place to sleep. Location? Really depends on what you’re looking for. We were only in the house to sleep, otherwise we were out and about. If you’re a beach goer, you’ll have to travel. If you’re hunting or fishing, this is a good place. Just, DO NOT CLEAN FISH IN THE HOUSE! Clean, well stocked, good host…we would be happy to use this place again.
