Dewayne's home was not only great, so was he. We had made the reservation an hour or so before we got to the house and he was on top of everything. Very responsive, very kind, great host. Definitely would stay again!!

The home was amazing for us and the dogs. The addition of the boat dock out the back yard was very helpful since we didn’t need to launch our boat each day. The firepit and complimentary fire wood was a great additional touch. Would love to stay again!

Dewayne’s house was exactly as expected - cozy, clean, easy to find and a great location to town and restaurants & grocery. The kayaks and firewood provided are a major plus! Would stay there again
