Kate is a wonderful host and thought of every little detail that you could need on a vacation! The Boathouse was clean and cozy and in such a beautiful location. I couldn’t be more pleased with our visit and plan to come again! Not to mention it being pet friendly which made it even more memorable to be able to bring our fur baby along and let him see the ocean!
