Beautiful home in a fantastic location!
We absolutely loved our stay! Our family didn’t want to leave! The house is beautiful and the location could not be better. Communication was easy and the house was fully stocked. Can’t wait to stay again!

Great home
What a great location!! Close to the beach and town. Great open floor plan too. I thought the listing said 2 queen bedrooms so we were happily surprised to find a king bed in the master.
