    All around great space for a friends gathering! The kayaks and SUPs were a hit. Easy walk to the beach for a morning swim. Easy walk into town, but we mostly just hung out at the house because that was the most fun of all!

    The property backs up on a marsh. Our family of bird lovers enjoyed all the birds right at the house as well as multiple areas a short drive away to enjoy nature and do some bird watching. In all respects the house is extremely well equipped. A dozen bird feeders, a plethora of kitchen cookware, etc.

    Great location and very nice house. We had a family get together with all ages. There were plenty of things to do. Being able to walk to the beach or kayak and fish in the river made this very unique. The kitchen is well stocked and the house is very nice.
