I only wish that I could have stayed longer and hopefully next time when the weather is better...that being said, this is the perfect vacay home full of entertainment for bad weather days- the basement game room was great, a favorite by the whole family! This house had everything stocked that we could have needed, nice coffee/tea station provided, and quick response time from the owner. It is in a cute little quiet neighborhood, and close to several sites and cute beaches. Five stars in my opinion, and we will be back to stay for longer! Thanks guys! ##### Casey L.

The house and property were clean and had everything we needed and beyond. We loved being able to eat outside on the patio that was well lit, and make a fire after. There’s plenty of space with the two bedrooms, but other options with the futons. The location was very beautiful with a nice countryside feel neighborhood. We had hoped to be a little closer to town, but it was a manageable distance and worth having a place to cook, lounge and let my toddler run around:) the host for amazing and available by text if we had any questions.
