Perfect

This was our second stay at Beth’s home, and it certainly won’t be the last (as long as she’s willing to have us!) Everything is absolutely perfect. Beth is a thoughtful host, the location is perfect and the home is beautiful - you can’t go wrong!

Will Stay Again!

This place is a gem. So well appointed, comfy bed. Beth was a delight to deal with; communication was open and easy. Everything we wanted and needed was no more than an eight minute drive. Water views were an added bonus! Will definitely stay here again when it's just the two of us.

Wonderful Stay

We had a wonderful stay. The property was beautiful and the hosts were very accommodating. They always made sure we had everything we needed. We could not have asked for a more comfortable stay in such a beautiful neighborhood. If we travel that way in the future, we will definitely try to stay again. Thank you.

This is the nicest VRBO property we have stayed in. It is really more like a condo with lots of room and everything you could possibly need. Beth and Obie were the perfect hosts; always available by text and offering many suggestions for restaurants and activities. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Why would anyone stay in a hotel?

This is a perfect apartment in a nice quiet, safe location. It’s a short trip down to the wharf and the walking trail is just outside the door. Super comfortable surroundings and check in and out was a piece of cake.
