This property has an amazing view. The owners provided great details about the property and the surrounding area. The house was very clean and comfortable for our extended family group of eight adults. We enjoyed the use of the paddle boards and kayaks, and docking our rental boat was very easy. The cove is quiet and the outdoor space felt very private. Overall, we had a great week at this property!
