We loved our stay at stilt house! Such a great coastal alternative to a beach trip! The water was beautiful to watch. The house was comfortable and nicely furnished. We had everything we needed. Sunrises were spectacular! Our property managers were so attentive and great communicators. We especially loved the large property, the kayaks, the peace and quiet! Our pups were thrilled with kayaking! We highly recommend!!!!
