We absolutely loved our stay in this gorgeous house! Everything was so clean and comfortable. So many little touches to make you feel at home. We loved sitting out on the porch enjoying the nice sea breeze. The living room was comfortable and spacious to hang out in the evenings. The kitchen is well appointed and has what you need to cook. It is a very easy walk to the beach and a great location near grocery stores and restaurants. Dorthea is an incredible host and goes above and beyond to make your stay the amazing. We highly recommend this house!

Highly Recommended

This is the best VRBO we have stayed at. The property manager went above and beyond and there was everything we could have needed and wanted in a place to stay. Kids toys and space, a beautiful layed out and decorated house, and plenty of fun options within walking distance.

Our family stay at Tranquil Harbor was low key and relaxing. The home is in excellent condition and in a great location (abt 1/2 mile from beach); it’s beautifully decorated and very clean, the facilities work great and are stocked with bath essentials. I highly recommend Dorothea as a hostess - she is a gem - made us feel welcomed and like we were old friends. Our family would love to visit this home again!
