The location of the property was ideal. Located at the end of the street and short walk down to the beach. House was laid out so we could have family time together but also private time when we needed to just relax and read a book. Owners are quick to respond to any questions and comments. Decks are gated so that the dogs can get some free roaming time in too. Highly recommend!

This was our third stay at NSS and has been our favorite place on TI. We love it here. This house is spotlessly clean and well appointed. We love staying here and feel like it is becoming our “home away from home”. We look forward to staying here regularly!
