Summer Family Getaway
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful vacation retreat. I wanted to spend quality time with my children and grandchildren all in one place. And I needed to be on water. Goal met!
The beautiful beach, numerous toys, campfire pit, swing and stunning sunsets were all a bonus!
We had such a wonderful time. So much fun that we only left for grocery shopping.
Clean home, comfortable beds and spacious enough for a family of 10 to spread out and relax.
The owners were always very prompt in answering all questions.
We Loved our stay!
