We loved our stay and it was really hard to leave. The house is in a great location. I really enjoyed sitting on the back deck watching the herons and pelicans. We had the best seats on the dock to watch the sunsets every evening. I felt so relaxed after this trip.

It’s the cutest little place. Plenty of dishes if needed & so clean. We enjoyed the pier and even fished a little. Caught trout, catfish, panfish and even a crab lol. It’s close to stores for convenience and just overall the perfect place for a little family to get away.
