Wonderful Getaway
April 2024
We had two families share this hidden gem of a home during the children's spring break. We were able to easily sleep everyone comfortably. The boat dock works fine and the depth was suitable for our 24' vessel. We had one minor issue on our first night, but the homeowner was very responsive and attentive to any needs we had. We are already looking at booking this one for another summer/fall getaway. Highly recommend.
