What a great location. Less than a 2 minute walk to the Surf Ballroom and a 10-15 minute walk to downtown area. Very comfortable bed too. We enjoyed our stay.

Fishing weekend

My second time renting here and it was another great experience. Weather was not cooperating with our fishing but we had a great time relaxing and hanging out at the house. Perfect location, clean, well equipped…a gem.
