Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Previous Guests:

“I’ve been renting vacation homes for years but this house exceeded my expectations with its proximity to the beach and channels. May I add, It’s very difficult to find 3 bedrooms with large comfortable beds and a TV in every room including the living room and 2 1/2 bathrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and plate the food that we brought. Lisa had one cabinet with salt, pepper, spices, oil, vinegar and pasta and some canned foods. In the refrigerator she had a container filled with creamer and on the countertop next to the Keurig, she had different choices of coffee pods. My entire family had their own space. We utilized the BBQ and fire pit, the nice outdoor dining, patio with comfy couch and chairs and the two kayaks. This lovely home was perfect and Lisa was the perfect host and made us feel pampered. Thank you Lisa.” –Sandy

“This place was exactly what we were looking for. The outdoor space is amazing and allowed our family of 7 to be comfortable. We loved the small-town feel of the area while still being close to modern conveniences. Lisa has EVERYTHING you need for the beach at this home. We went to the beach every day. Great local shops and restaurants, and more on the other side of the harbor. We would absolutely stay at one of Lisa’s properties again. This was a great value for a big family and we loved having our dog with us. Property is just as described and everything was super clean. Lisa provides a great guidebook for the area too.” –Claire

“Had a wonderful stay and enjoyed some family time. Beds are very comfortable, house had all we needed for a great weekend. It was exactly as described, loved the outdoor seating and fire pit. Has outdoor shower in front of garage for sand rinse if needed. It was a quick walk to the beach. Would definitely stay again.” –Eric & Cynthia
