Cute house in a nice location

We booked this house as a short Thanksgiving weekend getaway for my family. The house is comfortable, laid out nicely, and has a nice view of the harbor/marina. We liked the second floor decks as well as the screen porch on the first floor. Kitchen is nicely stocked and we were able to prepare a nice small Thanksgiving meal for the 4 of us. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms are nice. Nook in the front by the kitchen is nice and a great place to setup a laptop to look for restaurants, attractions, etc., when you're planning your day.

Cozy, cute, and nice

It was hard to find many faults with this property. Location was close to family and it was clean, safe, comfortable and well stocked. I was amazed at the number of towels and blankets. We did not love the master king mattress or the pillows. A thicker pad and better pillows would make this a perfect review, but it was still comfortable enough. We will be back!

Quiet and Comfortable

Property management was very responsive and helpful. They helped us navigate through the few small hiccups we had during our stay. The home is lovely and the views are great. It’s a wonderful place to visit in winter. Can’t wait to visit again in warmer months.
