The backyard and path to the river were nice, very picturesque. The riverside dock is a wonderful spot to sit and relax, have your morning coffee or sip a drink in the evening. Lots of space in the apartment for four people. Kitchen was well stocked, the coffee was good.

Didn’t even stay. Smelled so bad like cleaner and febreeze that I had an allergic reaction and upon leaving immediately, I slipped in the ice on the deck from perpetually dripping water. No response for 20 hours from the host and had to contact support for a refund. Happy Valentine’s Day.

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay. Lee was so kind, helpful, and easy to communicate with. He made us feel very welcome with our big dog and not at all a bother. The accommodation is well cared for and had everything we needed. Super close to a beautiful beach. And to top it off we were able to enjoy the kayaks that Lee offered. I would highly recommend.
