Beautiful layout and relaxing space. Beds and linens are top shelf. The deck is well equipped with heat lamps for cold evenings to wind down after the day of hiking and playing on the beach.

We had wonderful stay this Christmas. The home was spotless and was a relaxing place to unwind. The hosts were extremely kind, responsive, and genuinely caring. When there was a down tree down the road and we could not go out, they were more than willing to go above and beyond to help us. You can tell they take great pride in their home and hosting their guests. We would absolutely stay here again, and highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable place with amazing hosts.
