This home perfect for our family. There was plenty of room and we spent most of our time on the porch overlooking the trees and water. We had a great time!

This house is a lovely little getaway with relaxing outdoor spaces, and all the amenities you need. We instantly felt at home. I cannot say enough about the deck--I would have lived there happily for the whole long weekend. Beautiful view down to the water, nice breezes, comfortable seating--and within earshot of your people in the house thanks to the screen doors! Convenient to town as well, though the kitchen is nicely stocked and very functional. Really appreciate the thoughtful touches, such as quality dishes and towels. This is clearly a well-loved home and we loved being there!
