Great location at the end of a quiet cove. House had all the amenities a big group could hope for. The curved walking path was perfect for our older travelers in the group. We’ll definitely rent here again! Our favorite amenities were the ice maker, the theatre room, and the two story dock!

Thanks for staying at Secret Gem! So glad you had a good time and hope you can come back soon.
The home was Great. The view was stunning. The entire house was extremely family friendly. The kitchen was equipped for cooking for large groups. We had an amazing time there there were 20 of us in the house was big enough for all of us a little tricky getting there, but when we found the house, we were so happy to see it was exactly as advertised. We didn’t wanna leave so quiet and peaceful. We will be back for sure.
