"This was the perfect place to stay at for our family vacation. The location was great, the house was clean, and there were extra little amenities in the house that added a nice touch. The downtown was either a quick couple minute drive or a nice 15ish minute walk by the water. I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay!"
