Cozy get away

Stayed at the property with just myself and partner. Host was amazing and prompt with responses. The property was clean and the views were beautiful. We will return to this property when we need a quiet place to unwind and be away from crowds and the hustle of work.

Almost perfect

The house was nice. The covered deck overlooking the bay was perfect. Such a peaceful area for a couple that wants to reconnect. I told my wife that I I would rate this as a 10 out of 10 except for one thing. That bed! It is way too soft. Upgrade it please!

Great Getaway

Beautiful view and loved watching my son fish on the pier. We would definitely stay here again, but will bring some extra sleeping arrangements since mattress on couch is very thin. Overall, it was exactly what we needed and wish we could have stayed longer. Host was very helpful and responsive.
