Great for small family get together
Lovely and peaceful location with easy access (less than 1/2 mile) to groceries and coffee shops. Large, beautiful deck. Very comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Great internet. Bonus -- each of the two bedrooms has its own bathroom, which worked out perfectly for our party of 4.

Quiet and comfortable with a huge deck
Loved sitting on the deck drinking coffee and overlooking the water! The place was perfect for a quiet relaxing getaway. We appreciated the ease of entry, parking, coffee making supplies, and comfortable bed and couch for watching tv.

Beauty and Peace
This property was such a relaxing and welcoming place to stay. the deck is sundrenched overlooking the water, the place is older but spotless, kitchen well supplied and beds comfortable. I recommend it. Also wholefoods and trader joes are not far away, and parking for a couple of cars was great. We will be back!
