Waterfront 5 Bedroom Grindstone Island Farmhouse

10/10 Excellent
"I do not think the pictures in the listing capture how nice this farmhouse is. My family had an amazing week exploring the island, swimming at the dock, and enjoying the area. We rented a boat to get access to the island. Boating in this area might not be great for an inexperienced boater like we were. Lots of hazards so you need to be careful. A few days were windy so we had to use a water taxi because it was too rough for our small boat. We had an amazing time, it was quite an adventure for us!"
