Well Appointed & Dog Friendly

This was a great spot to spend the night with our 2 Golden Retrievers. The house had everything you would find at your own home.

I loved my stay! The house was clean and well stocked. I loved the coffee options- pour over, French press, pods. The yard is super cute and big. A nice place to relax. The neighborhood was quiet and I felt safe. The beach area looked fun but I didn't have time to explore that on this trip. Next time! The owner was great with communication and responded quickly.
