This house was absolutely perfect in every way! We will be back next year!
Nicole N. | Jul 2025
What a wonderful home and perfectly located within steps to the beach. Our stay was filled with lots of laughter, sun, sand, and memories made. We loved the big kitchen table that we were able to play games on and all sit to eat at. The decks showcased amazing views of the entire island. We would love to stay here again! Hopefully next year ❤️

Cold AC both levels when you need to get out of the heat. Great dock on canal to tie up your boat. Beautiful cozy home.
