We had a very relaxing stay here. The property had so many comforts and it is in a peaceful and friendly neighborhood. I went kayaking with my children with the use of the attached boathouse and dock. This property had something for everyone for my family and I. Margo, the amazing host, is great with communication and we are very happy with how our stay went.

Beautifully remodeled home with all the right amenities and plenty of parking. Modern kitchen appliances, A/C and a master bathroom with a full tub. Interior was very clean and bed mattresses are firm but comfortable. Cozy little boathouse with access to a couple of kayaks. Only a few minor issues which held it back from a full 5 stars. I know it's the delta but a quick sweep of spiders/webs on the exterior especially the deck would have been nice. The guest toilet "rocks" while sat on and the remote for the master bathroom bidet needs new batteries to function. Again, minor issues. Location was perfect for kayak bass fishing. I have a fully loaded/heavy kayak on a trailer and was able to launch a few lots over at Piper Point Marina and moor it on the back of the boathouse. Having the Rusty Porthole serving good food and drinks within easy walking distance is an added bonus. I would definitely book again in the future.
