Such a cute and spacious place. I’ve never stayed in a vacation rental that exceeded my expectations like this. The extremely well appointed kitchen, the cute bathrooms, the spacious parking and the amazing front porch were the standouts for me. Also the property is centrally located in town. Just a short walk from the Bell House Restaurant too. To paraphrase a sign from one of the bathrooms 5 stars. Would stay here again.
