House was beautiful!!! Great view of bay due to empty lots - would be obstructed if there were houses on the lots next to us. Very Quiet area which was perfect! Within driving distance to beach stores and restaurants. Host was available via text promptly! Just a couple of things that would have helped with our stay - more garbage bags- left 2 bags had to buy more- 2 paper towel rolls, no cleaning spray for kitchen counter tops and 2 dishwasher pods. We stayed for 7 days for 10 people. With that being said we definitely would stay there again!!!

Everything was great for our stay. We were there during a cold snap and they were great to bring us extra heaters and check on the heater when we said it wasn't working on one of the floors. They took care of anything right away. Everyone having their own space/bathroom was the biggest plus.

The water front was great for grandkids swimming and fishing, but watch out for jellyfish. We rented kayaks and it was a great place for that. House space was good for family to join us for some meals and beach is very close by. We had 11 and each family had plenty of private space

The house was awesome. Bathroom for each bedroom was great. Beautiful view of the bay. All my questions were answered right away. Would have loved more towels, washcloths, and hand towels. But there is a washer and dryer so we did fine. Was clean and decorated nice. We just loved our time here. Thank you.
