An absolutely stunning property with a gorgeous view and direct access to Conrad’s Beach! It comfortably held our group of eight, and the kitchen was very well equipped. The host was very responsive when I texted with questions. The pool, tennis courts and deer on the property made for a fun and enjoyable time. We were able to enjoy the view from the sunroom on the rainy days. Just a note the water is not potable, but they do provide some drinkable water for guests.
