Great little hideaway

We enjoyed our little mini vacation before going our cruise. This house was perfect for our family of 5 to hang around enjoying family time. We had enough room for all of us to sleep. The best part was even tho it’s tiny one the outside, there is plenty of space and we didn’t feel like we were stepping on one another. The next time we will definitely stay here.

Cozy and convenient!

This cabin was equipped with all the necessities. Really simple process to book and check in. It was about a mile from the beach which was convenient. A little farther is Stewart Beach which was nice for fur baby. Thanks for a relaxing stay! Only comment would be that the AC units were a bit on the noisy side but kept the place cool even at 95 degrees outside.
