A happy place
Perfect place for our dog. With leather furniture, rugless floors and easy access to the fenced backyard, we all could enjoy our stay. We felt right at home.

Peaceful island trip
We had such a great time here with our pups - this rental is a perfect balance of quiet relaxation and proximity to all the island has to offer. We could not have had such a great weekend without such a wonderful home base. We would happily stay again!

Awesome Home
We loved the house. Fenced in yard was great for dogs! Our 1 dog & the squirrel had fun with each other. I swear the squirrel was throwing nuts at her. Comfortable bed. Lots of fishing close by. We had a great visit! Highly recommend! Nice neighborhood.

Good house if you have pets.
Great house. Would stay again. Only suggestion would be a handicap rail for getting in and out of shower. I am 76 yr.old and it was a little difficult. Also towel racks and some clothes hooks would be nice. Overall it was nice and we had a good time.
