I am so grateful to have found this great home to rent for the month. It was the perfect spot to emerge back into the world after being in the hospital for 6+months. The house is really clean...freshly renovated...screened in patio was such a pleasure and having the river right out the back yard was so peaceful. The host was very hospitable and helpful and responded very quickly to any messages or questions I had. I highly recommend this VRBO option to everyone. It's bittersweet to leave...wish we were staying longer. ##### Tara I. Stayed 30 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danny O.

Beautiful small house, in a very quiet neighborhood. Just the right size for 4 adults and 4 kids under 14\. Kids shared a twin size bunk bed, so it was like a sleepover for them. The rooms are small but cozy. The house is well maintained and the porch is screened in, to keep the bugs out. Drive to the beach and local attractions from here can be 40 minutes to an hour, but didn’t feel too bad, as traffic was light while we visited. ##### Roy Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom M.
