Perfect Getaway
We found the house to be very cute with 2 master bedrooms with complete bathrooms in both, kitchen and living room in the middle. We did not bring our doggie but the fenced in yard was clean and looked very safe to let your dog go out into. Large Florida room had a dining table for 6 and a twin bed for a nap for my mom. We fished from the beach behind the house. Highly recommend.

Quite, secluded and beautiful views of bay.
Very quiet place. Extremely clean and well appointed. It smelled SO nice when we arrived. Very large bedrooms and comfy beds. We brought our two pups and having the yard fenced in was wonderful. The bay view from the cottage was A. Brought my 98 year old Mom so not having to navigate stairs was very helpful. Enjoyed our stay and highly recommend This place for someone looking for peace and quiet.
