This little house was so cute and well managed! Nice decorating touch, all furnitures and blankets looks new and very clean ! Few steps away and you are on the beach and also walk to West end restaurant, sandbar grill! We stayed for three days and we definitely felt like we are at home !

Cozy and comfortable!

Everything was so cute and cozy. It really felt like a vacation as soon as we walked in the door. I loved that there was a place for all the bags we brought. The organization was thought through well! The bay, beach, restaurant, park, convenient store are all within walking distance. It is a great location. There is plenty to do in the neighborhood or you can stay in and enjoy the sweet house.
