Wonderful Spring Break

The house is amazing! Lots of space and things to do when it rains. We had six people and it never felt crowded or boring. The owner was wonderful and very helpful. We felt very welcome and we're sad to leave.

Wonderful Place!

We so enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home! You cannot beat the view, and the location! We love playing around in the bay and this was the perfect place for that. We waded, went kayaking, watched dolphins play, and played in the sand. The kitchen was perfect for making our own meals and enjoying a holiday dinner. The only thing we missed were kitchen knives, so remember to pack a couple. Bring your own paper plates and cups etc. if you want them, but the kitchen is well stocked with dishes. We loved the big soaker tub, and large living area, and the ping pong table was a hit for sure. This house goes on our list of favorites and we hope to return one day for another great vacation!*Note all entrances are accessed by long stairways, we found this challenging for our elderly grandma but we managed okay for the few times she had to enter or leave the house.

The Findlay & Elliott families REALLY enjoyed the “big house” as our toddler coined it. We saw dolphins on the bay almost daily! Every inch on the house was used, so it was perfect for all of us getting together from multiple states. The hosts are extremely nice as well! I hope we get to return some day!

Spacious, well equipped home

We truly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home and all the”extras.” The only “less than perfect” was not having paper goods/supplies stocked we had to keep running to store for toilet paper, hand soap,dish detergent or laundry or kitchen garbage bags. All other rentals we’ve stayed in it was included.
