About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Island Retreat
This is a great little upstairs home that has all the amenities that you will need for a great vacation. Centrally located to historic downtown, the cruise port and close to the beach for those days that you want to get away. There are 2 rooms each with a queen-sized bed to help you rest for the next day's adventures. Enjoy the evening sitting around the firepit. There is a BBQ to grill up your favorite dinner. We hope you enjoy our home.

I was unable to stay
Due to a tornado at home we were unable to take vacation. John was very accommodating to my needs, he kept good communication and offered to do anything he could.
