Cozy and comfortable!

Everything was so cute and cozy. It really felt like a vacation as soon as we walked in the door. I loved that there was a place for all the bags we brought. The organization was thought through well! The bay, beach, restaurant, park, convenient store are all within walking distance. It is a great location. There is plenty to do in the neighborhood or you can stay in and enjoy the sweet house.
