Hidden Gem is a wonderful hideaway!

We went for a short family get-away from real life and found it at the Hidden Gem. The property is exceptionally well maintained and very comfortable. Sean is extremely responsive! There are so many restaurants in walking distance. The patio area is so relaxing, and it's a short walk to the boat dock area. The area is very quiet and cozy. We will definitely be back for another visit.
