We loved hosting you! Hearing that your family had a great week makes our day. We look forward to seeing you again soon reach out anytime when you’re ready to book
A very nice little house perfect walking distance between the dock and the beach. Wonderful back porch to sit on up stairs as well to enjoy your evenings when the suns gone down, listening to the breeze, sea birds, and the happiness that is LGI. Bring sunscreen, bug spray, and a good attitude for an amazing time. We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone and Michelle was amazingly helpful!
