Thank you John! Yall were wonderful guests. You left the house in amazing condition, communicated well and were super easy to host. We would love to have you back anytime!
We had a great 4th of July vacation at Water’s Edge. Not on the main water but has a nice view and has less boat traffic than other nearby areas. The outside area and fire pit would be great for a stay after the summer season when weather is cooler.
