Great little get a way.

Love the quiet property, but close to town. Heather was great and responsive to emails. It was clean with a beachy decor and freshly painted. Everything we needed was provided. We hope to visit again.

Convenient and quiet

Heather has obviously taken care in her remodeling and decor of Back to the Basics. Cute beach theme throughout, fully stocked kitchen, clean linens and a great walk in shower in the master bath. The big Back yard was wonderful for walking the pup and the bin was very convenient for disposing of the bags of waste. We enjoyed watching the chickens, sitting under the big shade trees and visiting, and saw a bald eagle fly overhead!! The only caveat is if you can't navigate a steep set of 5 steps, you may want to talk with Heather about other options.
