Perfect place to stay! Clean, comfortable, and well laid out, with such beautiful views. We’d love to return in warmer weather to enjoy the deck spaces! We appreciated the excellent, helpful communications from the host.
It was an exceptional property in an exceptional setting. Gary was very thoughtful and someone showed us in. The kitchen was fully ready for cooking, and the bedrooms were pretty big, as well as the living room and shared terraces. Most popular restaurants (including Bahr's Landing) were within walking distance. Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely look for the property in the future.
What a great property! The property managers are super responsive, the space is well appointed, and everything is comfortable. If you aren’t lucky enough to have your own family beach house, this is a perfect alternative.
We really enjoyed our stay. This was our second visit and we hope to return again. Our host was very accommodating and quick to respond to our questions during our stay. The location is very convenient to amenities. We were able to walk to dinner and of course being on the water with my boat out back was ideal to meet the needs of our trip. We were all very comfortable through out our stay. The place was clean the beds were comfortable the shower had excellent water pressure and the kitchen was well stocked. Thanks again to our host for all that you did to make our stay so enjoyable.
Everything was perfect for our stay. The dock for our boat was very nice had everything we needed inside and outside the property. The people were so friendly and gave us many suggestions for around town . We will be back very soon !
