Wow, what a great spot! My husband, I, and our fur kids truly enjoyed staying at this little gem. The place was immaculately clean and had everything we could possibly need for a wonderful stay—and more. I was especially impressed with how well the kitchen was stocked.The dining area, with its many windows, offered a beautiful view of the channel, and we loved enjoying our morning coffee there. Having our boat so close by was incredibly convenient, and we also really enjoyed the pool. This place was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
