"We stayed for a week in late July, and had the best time. The house was very clean, and it was plenty big for the 5 of us. My kids really liked the loft area for sleeping. The location cannot be beat! Walkable to the downtown area for restaurants and shopping, and it was right across the street from the beach entrance. We would definitely stay here again! The only thing is that the kitchen counters need to be replaced."

"The property was exactly as advertised and pictured. The place was clean, comfortable and charmingly decorated. The folks at Forgotten Shores were friendly, professional, and communication was excellent. They made sure we had everything we needed and added a few special touches that made our stay special. The location is perfect! Right on the beach and amazing views from master bedroom and living room. And close enough for a pleasant walk to restaurants and shopping. Highly recommend.
