When renting the 3pm checkin, backed up to 11am checkout with no flexibility was frustrating.

Best View !
We found this home a perfect combination of being able to get away but also convenient to restaurants, stores, and activities. The view could not be beat and the house was clean and comfortable.

The perfect writer's retreat
I and four author friends stayed for a week in this lovely home. There was plenty of room for each of us (5 bedrooms). The dining room table overlooking the water offered the perfect backdrop for our creative retreat. The home was clean, and the kitchen was well-stocked with all the items we needed when we felt like cooking. The coffee maker was particularly welcomed! Thank you for our lovely stay.
