Shirley’s temple is a beautiful perfect location. I loved laying on the couch while looking at the river. The house was beautiful and well stocked with everything we needed. Check in was so smooth and easy. I loved that the key lock code was so simple to remember. The host was kind and was easy to work with

The house was clean and comfortable. We spent lots of time on the deck--reading, watching the boat traffic, and enjoying the ducks. The short walk to the beach opened up to a great view of the bay.

The view was just what we needed. The patio is comfortable and beautiful. The house had what we needed and was comfortable. We were looking forward to using the gazebo but it really needed a good cleaning so we didn’t use it. It would only take a little TLC to make this property perfect.
