The stay provided an incredible space that allowed our family to gather for a celebration of life event. The deck alone is capable of earning a 5-star review; on top of that, the house, amenities, options, and management team provided a great experience. Every morning, we were flanked by Bald Eagles and drive-by swims from Harbor Seals.
