This house has been beautifully redone and kept the older charm! I can't say about good things about the unique decorations and special treats to make it so comfortable and homely. The jacuzzi was the biggest we've ever seen! The bikes were such a nice added touch and my husband and kids loved riding around town on them. The yard is truly an oasis where you feel completely private away from it all, even though you're right off the main sponge docks. Brian was a delight to work with! And this home is close to everything and immaculately clean. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
