This is one of the best homes we have rented. Very well stocked with everything we could want or need! The pictures do not do it justice. Very clean. The host was extremely responsive - even having a new coffee maker delivered early in the morning when there was a glitch with the existing coffee maker. Cannot wait to book again!

I am getting ready to book for the same two weeks next year. The pictures do not do this properly justice. Loved the dock, the patio and screened in area were so peaceful and beautifully furnished. Landscaping was incredible. We have stayed in many VRBO houses and this is by far the best. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
