We had another wonderful stay at the Heart of Huxley Bay! We first saw out this particular cabin because it allowed pets and looked very clean. Though we didn’t bring our dog at this time, our children requested that we go back to this very location this year. Josh is always very helpful and welcoming. And, the cabin is always in tiptop shape with wonderful amenities included. We look forward to another stay here in the future.
