Butterfly cove is a beautiful home and the nicest VRBO we’ve stayed in yet. The home felt like a home away from home. The home was very clean, fully stocked, very comfortable beds, pillows and couches. The yard was big and perfect for our small dog. We would love to stay here again. Thank you for providing special touches throughout the home to make it feel so comfortable.

Yes!

We (me, wife, our 2 young boys and their grandma) absolutely loved our stay here. It is clean, spacious, and comfortable. It is in a nice, quiet neighborhood, and there are multiple grocery stores and restaurants within walking distance. There are many amazing hikes and beautiful beaches just a short drive away.

Neat place with a nice yard

This place is neat. Big back yard for the kids, a nice layout and in a nice neighborhood. It’s off the main drag but tucked away so not a lot of traffic. We would return for sure. The decorations inside are nice as well.
