This place was amazing and the owners were just as great!! It was so nice to sit on the deck in the morning and watch the sunrise. The kiddos loved making s’mores at the firepit every night. We will definitely book this house next year.

Annual Family Beach Week

Rest Ashored was the perfect cabin for my family. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, and pans and utensils. The oversized living and kitchen area had plenty of room for nine adults and five children. I was very impressed how clean the cabin and underneath the cabin was. We also had a great view on the upper and lower decks for watching the sunrise, rise and set.
