10/10 Excellent

"This place is so wonderful, we fly into Shelter Cove every year, and this place is in a perfect location to access from the North tie downs. My husband and I are not big/tall people so the full size bed was perfect and comfortable. We loved how beautifully the house has been updated. The views were amazing, especially from upstairs. We will reserve this place again, and hopefully for many years. Loved the cleanliness, host communication, location, and comfort."
