Lisbeth and Adam were just the friendliest hosts that we've ever experienced! Everything we needed we had or asked for and gotten. They even left snacks, breakfast foods and drinks to start us off! Home is very cozy although small. But adequate for me and hubby! We stayed for a week and just mostly relaxed! Just to mention there are steps to get into the home. Both pictures were taken from the deck.at the house. Best places for dinner were the Dockside Seafood and Grill restaurant and Jalapeño Heaven. We also did the Thimble Island Tour..it was beautiful!! We swam in the pool 2 days and used the swings....AWESOME TRIP!! Would definitely go there again!!

Such a cute place in a perfect location. Would love to visit again in warmer months to be able to use all the amenities. Check-in/out processes were very easy. Even though we didn’t physically meet the hosts, they communicated quickly. The snacks were a bonus!!

A slice of tranquility

My boyfriend and I had been looking for a peaceful place to stay for a few days with beautiful scenery and good food. This definitely fit the bill! It exceeded our expectations and then some.It was the most relaxing and peaceful vacation I have ever been on. Adam and Lizbeth tended to all of our needs, whether it was recommending places to eat or checking in to see if we needed anything. The cottage had everything we needed and even included some snacks and drinks which were greatly appreciated. They really thought of everything.The property is absolutely beautiful. The private beach and pool were a mini paradise! You will love your stay here.
