Wonderful island escape
The attention to detail and enjoyment was impressive! These owners have considered all the needs of their guests and the property was well stocked with everything to create an atmosphere of relaxation and enjoyment. We loved the easy access to fishing and the kids spent hours on the swinging hammock chairs. In the evening, the dock and home was well lit with considerable attention to detail. Our teenagers enjoyed the split floor plan and my husband especially enjoyed cooking dinner at the outside kitchen. We highly recommend this wonderful vacation home!
