We enjoyed the house, especially because it is the last one in the row. It has the best views of the water. It is right next to the pool and the boat dock. There are also other marinas in the area. If you need an another type of boat ramp, the house itself was clean and had the basic amenities. The host was a very good communicator and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Family Getaway

We recently spent Memorial Day weekend at this charming vacation home by the bay, and it was absolutely wonderful. The location couldn’t be better — just steps from the water, with stunning views of the sunrise each morning and peaceful sunsets in the evening.We appreciated the convenience of having a washer and dryer right in the unit — a big plus for families or longer stays.The community pool is located right next door, which was ideal for the kids and a big hit for the entire family.Whether you’re boating, swimming, or just relaxing on the deck with a view, this place has it all. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Very Nice Property

We were in town for a high school softball tournament. We were very pleased with the property. Beds are comfy, check in was easy, the area is very nice and secure. Right on the water with a nice dock. High recommendation if you are considering this area.

Fantastic Property

This house is situated perfectly if you enjoy beautiful views. The property was clean, roomy, with great WiFi. My family and I really enjoyed sitting on the living room deck watching the birds, dolphins, and other wildlife doing their thing. It was the perfect weekend getaway.
