West weekend stay
We absolutely loved our stay! The rooms were super comfortable. Lots of room for what we needed. The house was beautiful. The wrap around porch was one of my favorite parts besides the upstairs bathroom. My kids also enjoyed our stay. We played games and simply sat on the porch soaking the weather in while we weren’t at the beach. Definitely worth what we spent, and absolutely saving the name for our future stays
