Lovely house on the water. We enjoyed the kayaks! We were a short drive from lots to see and explore.

Great Girls’ weekend spot! We enjoyed the crab traps provided, line crabbing, puzzling, the gorgeous kitchen, comfy sunroom and living room and the beautiful views. Terrific place to relax and enjoy time with friends or family. Thank you for opening your amazing home for us to use!

Wonderfully redesigned, compact and efficient and really comfortable. views and sunsets. We had a full house and everyone, even our toddlers, had a great time. Good place for boaters and fishing, really fine pier and decent boat ramp. Not easy to enter or exit for swimming, though, so not perfect for kids. Plenty of nearby amenities including beautiful state parks.
