Spring Break Getaway

Our family had a perfect spring break getaway. Kristen was a wonderful and attentive host, the information on the online guide book was so helpful and appreciated and the house was amazing. There was everything we could need and more and it was so cozy. Our teenage son made the big great room his domain, the BBQ was so nice to do some grilling, and the view from the living room was so peaceful. We also enjoyed relaxing in the rocking chairs in the garden. We saw otters, seals, dear and the birds were always chirping. We enjoyed the beach and loved that we were in the middle of the island and everything was so easy to get to.
