Lovely property! This place was beautiful, clean and peaceful. This was my family's first beach house experience and I cannot say enough good things about it. The property owner was soo sweet when answering any questions. I wish we could have stayed later. Definitely will be back

Our overall experience was fantastic. The Lily Pad is such an adorable little cottage, with amazing breathtaking views. We will definitely plan to stay again. The fenced in yard was perfect for our two little pups. Beau is 11 and Bella is 15, so a fenced in yard was much appreciated. The host was wonderful. We loved the place so much that we are thinking about moving that way when we retire. Those views are definitely worth the money. It was a much needed vacation full of relaxation after a few stressful months, so glad we booked this place. The Clark’s

The home was everything it said it was online but felt even better in person. We loved the ample comfortable seating, the open concept style of the main living areas, and all of the unique amenities at the property. The host also went out of her way to make us feel very welcome. She had very speedy replies to any messages we sent and even left us some farm fresh eggs to use for breakfast. Amazing trip and I would highly recommend!

Host went above and beyond. We had a great time and the house, property and view are incredible. Close to everything you’d need but yet secluded enough to get away from the hustle and bustle. Will definitely stay here again!

Great house!

This was the perfect getaway for my whole family! We loved that it was close to the beach, but far enough away for some peace amd quiet! My husband and son loved the outdoor space and caught numerous fish, and I loved the patio area with the fire pit! The outdoor shower was a big bonus with my young son coming home from the beach covered head to toe in sand!! Will definitely be staying again!

Most amazing stay ever

We loved the house so much. We planned to eat out several times last week but changed our due to loving just staying at the house. Highly recommend the stay on the bay side, for years we stayed beach front, but something about this stay was so much different. Very relaxing and great house

This is by far one of the best places I have ever stayed at. The view is truly incredible and the pictures do not do this place true justice when you actually are there. It's even better than what is shown. I will continue to come back here and making it a family tradition. Thank you so much!
