Be aware, this host charges for damage whether you are responsible for it or not. Take pictures of everything or else you will pay 500 on top of your stay. Host would not provide me with repair estimates or pictures. Host accused my party of going under the house which was full of mosquitoes and standing water and jumping on the pipes. The yard was full of water and vehicles got stuck. If anything else is available, I would choose it instead.

Wonderful stay on the bay!

We really enjoyed our stay, thank you to Beth! The house was in great shape and our kids really enjoyed the dock. It was great having a gate on the fenced in dock for added piece of mind with young kids. We’ll be back!
