What a delightful property. Spectacular views, family and dog friendly inside and out. We certainly enjoyed the views but were beyond impressed with the wonderfully appointed kitchen and lovely coffee bar. Thank you for sharing Judy’s sandcastle with us, many happy family time memories were made.

Thank you Rick! You are welcome to stay again any time!
The kids loved fishing and crabbing off the dock! Hurricane Erin gave us two gray rainy days so we just hunkered down and watched movies and played with puzzles. The sunny days we enjoyed the dock and sitting on the porch enjoying the beautiful view! Lovely family time week!
