Summary: Just finished a week with a family of 10 from 15-73. The house was clean, comfortable and cool. The setting is beautiful with multiple places to view both sunrise and sunset. We caught many sharks, trout, black bass and flounder from the dock and kayaks. Check out the stars at night from the dock or decks. Quiet, gorgeous neighborhood with almost no traffic. The property management is very professional.
