Tiny House

This tiny house is cute and has a great view of the water! It’s peaceful aside of the noisy generator running at the wedding venue next door. It wasn’t very clean when we arrived. Floors had some piles of sand and appeared to be unswept. Some trash from the previous people was left laying around.

Rainy weekend stay

Adorable, exceptionally clean waterfront home with loads of privacy. While the location felt more like a boat yard vs a marina, it wasn’t noisy nor did it detract from the peaceful setting.

2nd Stay & definitely not our last!

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend last year and knew we had to bring our kids back this year. The location is amazing. The quiet and privacy can't be beat. We even took a quick trip into the city to check out the aquarium. The house is adorable and RIGHT on the water. You look out the living room window and feel as if you are on a boat! We enjoyed walking around the marina, checking out the boats, our boys spent hours digging on the beach, and we brought their bikes to ride as we walked up and down the quiet little road.It's the perfect place to go unplug and relax! We will be back.

It's the VIEW!

Loved our 4 day stay. Cabin is updated and very clean. The view is what makes it super special, right on the water with wonderful breezes. Pool was a nice plus too. Kitchen was nice, but fridge was small with no freezer space. We would rent again!
