You Gotta Stay Here!
What a wonderful property! Even with the less-than-delightful weather, this home was a beauty. Thoughtfully well-appointed kitchen, super clean and loads of space. And our hosts were so welcoming - what a treat! We are so grateful. We really hope to have a chance to return.

Gem of a vacation house
This brand new house overlooks a bay, affording wonder views. Impeccably appointed and with meticulous attention to detail, this is an oasis of quiet and beauty. Hosts went far out of their way to accommodate us. An ideal place for a vacation amid nature, yet 15 minutes drive from a charming town with all the needs of civilization. Our best VRBO.
