Beautiful place, had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Extremely clean and very cozy. Perfect distance for anything on the island but also quiet.

We had such a wonderful stay at Nicole's house with our family and our pup. The house was very clean and well-stocked, with plenty of space for our group to spread out and relax. We loved being on the quiet side of the island and so close to delicious spots for lobster. We'd love to return!
