We loved everything about our too short stay! Kelly and Monte were lovely, gracious hosts! Our room was clean and beautiful and our common area was lovely. The Jacuzzi was amazing, overlooking the bay. Will definitely return for another, longer, getaway.

Perfect in every way
Amazing place with so many more perks than expected. It’s in the heart of town, in beautiful condition, felt so private even with other guests and had so many unexpected amenities. We would definitely stay here again! The breakfast spread was so thoughtful and the water toys were perfect. SUPs, kayaks, peddle boats, lily pad, etc.
Two huge balconies and a yard at the waters edge with dock. Everything we could have wanted!
