Perfect Location, very roomy, and very comfortable!
What a great place to stay! Location was perfect. We had plenty of room for the 10 of us to spread out. We all hope to enjoy this place many more times to come. The only down side was the 10:00 am check out. That did not give us much time to say goodbye and pack up.

BOOK IT!!!
Even more beautiful than the pictures! We absolutely loved our stay here! The beds are very comfortable, the house is SPOTLESS and it is so roomy for big families! The kitchen is fully stocked with essentials (pots, pans, dishes, etc.) Lots of towels and wash cloths and extra sheets, pillows and blankets. The view from the deck is absolutely beautiful and there is a swing set for small children. I highly recommend staying here, you won’t regret it!
