Such a cute place in a perfect location. Would love to visit again in warmer months to be able to use all the amenities. Check-in/out processes were very easy. Even though we didn’t physically meet the hosts, they communicated quickly. The snacks were a bonus!!

A slice of tranquility

My boyfriend and I had been looking for a peaceful place to stay for a few days with beautiful scenery and good food. This definitely fit the bill! It exceeded our expectations and then some.It was the most relaxing and peaceful vacation I have ever been on. Adam and Lizbeth tended to all of our needs, whether it was recommending places to eat or checking in to see if we needed anything. The cottage had everything we needed and even included some snacks and drinks which were greatly appreciated. They really thought of everything.The property is absolutely beautiful. The private beach and pool were a mini paradise! You will love your stay here.

Relaxation

Our stay was incredible! The property was gorgeous- even with the home owners on property we barely saw them. We had full, private access to the backyard space- beach, pool, hot tub, fire pit, etc- all to ourselves. The property was clean and inviting and we will definitely go back. Everyone was so friendly and the area is picturesque.
