We had the best week away. The house is well-equipped for any family size, and the host was very responsive and helpful. It’s the perfect getaway for fishing and boating families, or just to unwind.
Location was amazing. So relaxing and a great starting point to explore the area on our boat. House is great, well maintained and very clean. Only negative was having to leave.
The owner thought of everything setting this place up. From all the kitchen tools to outside toys. The house gets a lovely breeze too. We will be back. Absolutely loved our stay and the host was super helpful.Shannon
