Here is what a guest wrote on another rental site about their stay with us (please see our reviews on VRBO as well):

**** “This is a wonderful place! My Wife and I spent six nights relaxing in Captain Mark's home. The outdoor space is a dream, beautiful plants and a grill for a night spent cooking at home. The best part of the house is the privacy. We spent more nights than we planned enjoying the pool and screened in sitting area/bar/game room. This getaway is less than a 10 minute Lyft from all of the attractions, including Boston's on the Beach (our favorite). It's also a short trip to the Peanut Island ferry. Captain Mark provides it all, bikes, pool toys, dishes, cups, towels... You name it it's right there. Check-in (and check out) was a breeze. I promise you, we will be back! I am a review reader and let me tell you if you are looking for a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with lots of space and great amenities (including that amazing pool area), this is the place for you.” ****

The property boasts a surrounding 6'+ tall wood privacy fence. Tiki bar with 32" flat-screen TV under a 14' high screened patio. Hammock, chaise lounges, ring toss, dartboard...it just keeps getting better...

Lots of books, CDs and magazines on site. Outdoor speakers, weekly pool and yard maintenance, complete privacy, pool floats and toys, a 4 burner gas grill w/ side burner are all included. Sorry, one of the two pool lights is out of order at this time. But the backyard landscaping lights are looking good.

The coolest pool and house at a great price...how does it get any better than this? ;-}
