Will Stay Again!

This place is a gem. So well appointed, comfy bed. Beth was a delight to deal with; communication was open and easy. Everything we wanted and needed was no more than an eight minute drive. Water views were an added bonus! Will definitely stay here again when it's just the two of us.
