We came back because we just love it here! The layout allows all the teenagers to stay down stairs and me and my husband stay upstairs. Always meticulously clean! Great house!

Cozy and comfortable!
Everything was so cute and cozy. It really felt like a vacation as soon as we walked in the door. I loved that there was a place for all the bags we brought. The organization was thought through well! The bay, beach, restaurant, park, convenient store are all within walking distance. It is a great location. There is plenty to do in the neighborhood or you can stay in and enjoy the sweet house.
