This was the perfect place to stay for a long weekend with family. Beautiful home, very clean, well appointed kitchen, and we all had plenty of space to spread out for games, conversation, and reading. Mike was wonderful for all of the communications--we felt very informed and welcome.

LOVED LOCATION WITH PARK PRACTICALLY IN BACK YARD AND BEACH RIGHTS
Great house. We had 3 little ones and the step down to family room was something we had to watch with 2 and 3 year old. Many amazing glass décor items that complimented house. However, with 3 children under 6, I would advise an adult to go through and move those all up high upon arrival. Many amenities in kitchen that were helpful. Location was amazing for the kids with the park practically outside our back yard. Our trip was end of May, so spent lots of time at park. Enjoyed beach close by. I'm sure beach rights in the summer would be an amazing bonus.Great communication with host and Mike even let us move our booking up a day since no-one was there the week before, which was so helpful getting into town for a wedding before the holiday weekend traffic. So appreciative of that!

Great location, relaxing trip
The property is hard to be certain about from the pictures, but rest assured, it's perfect and the pictures don't do it justice. This is a clean, roomy place in a perfect location - close to beach and the backyard is adjacent to a small park with playground. Cute little town; winter or summer, you can't go wrong.

We had a wonderful time! House is clean, fun and close to the beach.
My friends and I had a lovely time celebrating a quarantine 30th birthday! Was nice to get away from the city for a bit and this house was a great fit! The house was stocked with all the kitchen supplies we needed to make great meals and we had a lovely short walk down to the water. Thanks for the great escape!
