Great little spot with plenty of space

Great little spot for our family of 4. Everyone had their own room and 2 bathrooms to share. Just about 15 minutes from the beach and lots of other fun things to do. House was very clean and ample kitchen accessories and supplies if you want to cook something. Definitely would stay here again!

Great property, nicely finished. Close to the beach, walking trails right down from home and a great park within walking distance for the kids. Dogs are welcome so can tske entire family. All you need to cook at home. Great firepit for making smores with forks and firewood on hand to use. I would recommend this property for anyone wanting a nice home away from home experience. Greatly enjoyed our stay!

Nice Home near National Park

My family enjoyed our stay here. It was close to the national park. Our kids loved the backyard to play in during the day and have a fire in the fire pit with smores at night. Anna had the house stocked with everything we may have needed during our stay. I appreciated the coffee!! Anna was excellent communicating with us throughout our trip.
