**What guests are saying

“The house was very welcoming and I couldn’t believe the wonderful details—water on the nightstands, bathrooms stocked with extras like Q-tips and a hair dryer. The kitchen was amazing and had everything we needed. I’ve never stayed in a place that actually had spices and olive oil. Clean, organized, and honestly a five-star hotel couldn’t beat it.”
— Dawn, Oct 2025

“Wonderful seaside place to relax. Very private with everything you need for fun or relaxation. Short walk to the beach and a wonderful channel to watch for entertainment. Clean and furnished beautifully. Definitely a place we would return to.”
