Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This property was the perfect summer getaway! It was a 2 mins boat ride from the marina, had a private dock, fenced yard, and provided lots of activities to enjoy the perfect summer day rain or shine. Bev was extremely communicative, and friendly ensuring we were well equipped for our stay. This property was perfect for dogs allowing them tons of room to run around and enjoy the water with easy water access with steps to get in. The property was extremely clean. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for the perfect cottage weekend!
