It was very relaxing to sit on in the sun room with the windows open and listen to the trees, birds and feel the cool breeze. We loved the rustic look! The homes had everything you needed for a great trip! Each room had a fan and multiple outlets. It was a work out to get to the house, up all the steps but we loved it and it was very unique. " Dawne S. "We had a lovely stay. It feels like you are in a treehouse; so peaceful and beautiful and only a few minutes from the beach! The stairs are real - you were warned but they are totally worth it." Christy P. "We had a great time. The property is beautiful and the host very supportive. 10/10."
