Another year in the books
This was our second year in a row staying at the house towards the end of summer and it was so lovely once again. The house is in an amazing location and we love looking at the boats on the water. Incredibly clean, equipped with everything you'd need, and overall just a smooth and great experience. Will definitely be renting it again!
