Lovely vacation spot!

Beautiful property, has everything you need. We all used the large patio for hanging out by and doing some remote work. And there’s another spot upstairs with a great view. The location is amazing, walk to the Montage, Rubys or the shopping Center with CVS, La Sirena Grill etc. Take the trolley into town and don’t worry about parking. Lots of great hikes right outside your door. Bliss!

Fantastic vacation rental in a fantastic location

We had a wonderful stay at Bill and Paul’s place. Perfect location and perfect space. The apartment had every amenity imaginable and the outdoor space was breathtaking. Fully stocked kitchen and outdoor grill made cooking delightful. Easy ride to pearsons port for fish was a real plus. Thanks Bill and Paul. Your home made our stay perfect!
