Family getaway

Perfect place to stay, especially now during COVID! The place has a washer and drier for you to wash sheets if you would like to and you don’t have to worry about bumping into people passing by while staying at a hotel. It was very clean and a great location on the bayside, with just a walk away for any fisherman leaving boats at Jim’s Pier.

Great Place To Stay

Love staying at this house. It is centrally located, easy walking distance to lots of restaurants and things to do Can launch kayaks into the lagoon just half a block away. About 5 blocks away to the public beach. Or straight down the main road to the bigger area of the beach. The owners were great to talk to, great with communication I would have to say, “ A must stay.”
