What a stay! The hosts were amazing and made us feel very comfortable. The little things like: more than enough towels, and array of games / reading materials / soaps and lotions / coffees the list goes on… I wish we could’ve stayed longer and I will definitely be back and stay again. It is easily walkable to a downtown district with foods and views that could keep me busy for a entire summer… but just to sit out on the patio among the Mossy Oak and listen … it’s magical. I would recommend this to anyone .

Really lovely property with welcoming knowledgeable hosts. Great location easy 3 block flat walk to town. Lovely to have a full kitchen although we mostly just stocked the fridge, had occasional snacks and lunches. So many great places to go out nearby! Really charming apartment with gorgeous antiques. All really well maintained. Shower was strong. Linens and towels were immaculate and luxurious. Loads of thoughtful little touches supplied by Ellen like bug spray, beach towels and a cute tote, a little sewing kit if you need it. Plenty of keurig capsules. Ellen even made fresh biscuits for us one day (hot and fluffy so good!). Queen bed in one room, full in the other. We came as a couple which meant we could use the smaller bedroom for our suitcases which was handy. If our son had joined us it would have been a little bit cramped or suitcases would have gone out in the living room area (not a biggie). Only suggestion is bring an eye mask if you need it dark to sleep. I had mine from our flight and was pleased because the light from the living area comes through into the bedrooms. Highly recommend would be delighted to stay again.
