I highly recommend this gem! House was perfect and walking distance to both beach and bay. The kayaks and bikes were a hit too! Truly felt like a home away from home.

We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back to this location! The view and location were perfect for the price we paid. The rental was stocked with everything we needed and had plenty to do. The back deck was the best part! This is an unbeatable spot for a quick getaway.

Overall I was very pleased!

We had a great stay! It was just what we needed for our four kiddos! It was the perfect space in a great area with close access to the beach!

Worth the 9-hour drive. Very pleased !!

For anyone visiting for the first time, this is a perfect centralized location from which to explore the Island. We had everything we needed to sleep peacefully and venture out every day or stay in. Really appreciate that they allowed our 2 dogs as well.

Lack of coffee and tea,; remember to pack/ bring some.
