The property itself was amazing, we loved the location and decor. Close to the shore, quiet and well kept. What really stood out though was the communication and care of the owners. There were some issues due to sub-zero temperatures that could have put us out of it weren't for the great communication, flexibility and persistence of our hosts. I would recommend and stay again! Thank you for taking such good care of us on our stay away!

A perfect getaway.

We loved our stay, the property grounds are incredible with a mossy forest in the back & the beach/ocean view out the front. I couldn’t recommend this place more!
