An attractive and comfortable home, very nicely laid out and easy living space. We loved the location reasonably close to the beach, restaurants and hiking trails along the water. All positive things to say about our stay.

From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded expectations. The property was spotless, beautifully maintained, and exactly as described — if not better! Every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the comfortable beds and well-stocked kitchen to the cozy decor that made us feel right at home.Communication with the host was seamless — responsive, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. The location was ideal: close to everything we needed, but peaceful enough to relax and unwind.This was one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever experienced, and we’re already looking forward to returning. Highly, highly recommend!
