Exceptionally Clean!
The interior of the home has a coastal relaxing atmosphere tastefully designed.
The home is surrounded by nature in a private setting. Expansive views of the bay and a dock to access the water is at your back door. Instant serenity as you enter the property grounds!
The cleanest home I have rented!
Pro’s about the home:
Great location/sound view with dock/sunrise view/screened porch/grill/fire pit/somewhat secluded in nature allows privacy and nature viewing such as deer.
The interior is cozy with ample space to enjoy.
Great kitchen amenities.

Perfect family getaway!
We absolutely loved this property! It was close enough to the beaches but far from neighbors! My boys had a blast fishing from the dock, catching many different fish and crabs, and loved having a fire at night. I loved that this place had almost everything we needed, and the inside was beautifully decorated! We will be coming back!
