Peace & Plenty
Classic wooden house off Back Road. Close enough to walk to everything, far enough to be peaceful. Warm stained wood throughout. Snug but comfortable for up to 4 (one queen and two twins). Huge live oaks shade the yard and deck. Looking forward to returning.

Great cozy location
The location is excellent! Right in the middle of everything. The unit itself is very cozy. Perfect for two couples and you could even put a couple kids on air mattress upstairs if you wanted. The owner also lives nearby and is very nice. We’d definitely stay here again.

Relaxing
We found rustic charm here and a snippet of a simpler way of life. We came in early Spring, when the weather still made access to and from the island unpredictable, but our stay was quite relaxing. There was an issue with property at first, but the management company took our call on a weekend and the owners quickly fixed it: Steve and Marty, are lovely people.

Awesome place
My brother and I loved your place. We were fishing the entire time. We were only there to sleep. Still a great place and peaceful. We will be back in the spring. Thank you so much. Sorry it took so long to leave a review, it was back to work as usual. You have a very nice place. So great to talk to the owner. Super nice.
