Lovely home in a great location! The host was very responsive and had excellent communication, making our stay easy and enjoyable. Just a small note for future guests: make sure to keep your personal items inside, as some of our fishing gear was taken (not the host’s fault). Overall, a wonderful place to stay!

The place was great. 6 adults and we had plenty of room. It was clean. Our bed in Master bedroom was comfortable. There is a lot of stairs in and out side of the house. Incase there are elder people. We had a great time easy access to the beach. A little bit of a drive to restaurants but not bad.
