Wonderful stay
We had a lovely time. Great property with easy access to everything. Our kids loved the golf cart and we appreciated the extra touches from the owners. Great little house for a stay in a great little town.

Anniversary get away
My husband and I enjoyed our stay, the house was clean and comfortable, the kitchen very nicely set up which was good because it was too cold to go out and walk around. Communication with the host was great, she made us feel very welcome.
