First Family Vacation

The guest house was perfect for our family stay. When we first got there, there was a sweet card and cocktail mixer to thank for booking. The home was very well maintained and stocked with all that was needed for our stay. The property was very clean. The view from the windows was gorgeous! Wonderful to be able to walk right out to the beach. It was quiet and comfortable during the evenings. Communication with the owner was very easy and gave detailed directions on getting to the home. She also allowed us to the deck during our stay for family meals as no one was in the main house. Thank you for the care and attention you give to the details and cleanliness of your home. Will be booking again in the future!
