The house was imaculate and lovely. The floor plan worked well and there was everything we needed. We loved sitting at the big table on the deck with our am coffee and in the evening with dominos and wine. Our pup loved the deck and the fenced yard was great for her. The luggage lift was a godsend for moving our things up and then down considering we are all in our 7th or 8th decade. Neighborhood was quiet and ate some great seafood at local restaurants.

Jul 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Enjoyed our stay, the host was super sweet and very accommodating. She allowed us to check in a few hours earlier.. Loved the fenced in yard because we had three small dogs. The house was equipped with all the needs, they we did not bring. It was like our home away from home. ##### Stephanie N.
