2 year back and can’t wait to return. House is perfect - spacious, squeaky clean and stocked with everything you need and more. Perfect location - feels like you got your own private beach and use of their paddle boards too! Owners are amazing! Communication is on point and they even left a basket of treats and coupons to local activities for us to enjoy. See you next year!

Getaway

From start to finish the communication was on point. From a welcome basket with treats to everything two families could possibly need and more. Spacious and squeaky clean! Paddle boards are a huge bonus too! Both families really enjoyed our little getaway and will be back next year for sure! Thanks so much for having us! See you next summer!

Exceptionally Clean, great location, everything a family needs

This gorgeous home is the perfect family/ friend getaway with everything you need. The home was exceptionally cleaned and exceptionally maintained. I have stayed at plenty of short term rentals all over the world and this one is fantastic. Everything in the ad is accurate. 4 spacious bedrooms. Plenty of seating and cabinets are full of everything you need for cooking. Plenty of towels for your stay including beach towels. I cannot say enough about Carolyn and her husband. They were fantastic hosts and their home is beautiful. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We will definitely book again.
