Our group absolutely loved this place! It’s super clean and has everything you need. You can tell the host goes the extra mile to make the home comfortable and inviting. It’s in the perfect location, walkable to the beach, has shopping and restaurants close by, but it’s away from the noise. This is our second stay in this beautiful home, and we plan to come back again. I can’t recommend it enough!

It means a lot to hear you noticed the little details that go into making the home comfortable and inviting. We’re also so glad you enjoyed the location — close to the beach, restaurants, and shopping while still being tucked away from the busy crowds.
Thank you again for staying with us and for the recommendation. We truly appreciate it and can’t wait to welcome you back again for stay number three!

Reviewer Comments:
Great location and space for our family vacation. House was well equipped. Pool is small and if you're traveling in early spring you'll need the heat on.
Our family stayed in this comfy Island home with guest cottage, and we had a great time. The main house has an open floor plan and is very spacious. The pool area is large, and the heated pool was great (paid extra for the heated pool). The location is in close proximity to everything. Would have liked to see a sofa bed in the guest cottage. Overall, the house met or exceeded our expectations. Got rained out on Easter Sunday so couldn't do too much. Our family recommends this rental and would stay here again.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad your family enjoyed the spacious layout, guest cottage, and the heated pool—it’s always a great feature, especially when the weather doesn’t fully cooperate. We appreciate your suggestion about adding a sofa bed in the guest cottage and will be sure to share that with our team. It means a lot to hear the home met or exceeded your expectations. Thank you for the recommendation—we’d love to welcome you back again soon!
Great place to stay!!! The property was perfect, very spacious and clean. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay for our vacation. Would stay here again.

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again soon!
The house and extension is wonderful for a large party. Pool is a decent size and well maintained! Both kitchens are full stocked with plenty of cookware and both houses have full washer and dryers. Great place! It’s just missing thicker blankets or comforters so bring your own if you need those.

This property was in the perfect location, within walking distance to the beach and to restaurants and shopping. It is kept in immaculate condition, beautifully updated, and is well appointed. It could not have been a more perfect place for our group of families to stay, and we plan to return every year that we’re able.

Wonderful rental. Super clean with a well stocked kitchen, multiple dining areas inside and out, great pool and plenty of room for everyone. Highly recommend.
Great property and great location! With the guest house grandparents got to enjoy staying with us and still escape for some much needed relaxation! The kids really enjoyed the pool and the covered patio was the perfect place to hang out and watch them play! Everything was perfect inside too with enough space for everyone to spread out a little but enjoy eachothers company!

Perfect Stay for Our Work Retreat – Highly Recommend!
As a local hosting an EMS Education Summit, I couldn’t have asked for a better property. The space was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had the perfect mix of comfort and functionality. It created an ideal environment for both focused work sessions and much-needed relaxation. Our team had everything we needed and more. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone—whether you’re planning a professional retreat or a personal getaway. We will definitely be booking again!

We are “The Swedes”. My two daughters and three granddaughters. Last year we were in Sweden for the celebration so thought would out, Lindsborg, but wanted stay somewhere close but not in Lindsborg. It was most enjoyable - we made list of what was happening and followed the crowd.
