We loved our stay and it was really hard to leave. The house is in a great location. I really enjoyed sitting on the back deck watching the herons and pelicans. We had the best seats on the dock to watch the sunsets every evening. I felt so relaxed after this trip.

It was a nice little place for 2 with a double bed.Kitchen towels were provided but I don't know why. A basket of misc towels were there to clean up with. The stove was dirty so we didn't cook anything. It was nice seeing the dolphins come in.Overall it was a cute little place where my husband could fish.
