Loved the view! Sitting on the deck or in the sitting room watching the sunset was the highlight of our day. Great fishing as we were right on the water! Plenty of places to walk around and fish, my son loved using the kayak out in the water to fish too! Plenty of space for our family in the house, kitchen was well stocked for us to cook meals there. Comfortable furniture for hanging out in the house. We had a few minor issues during our stay, but the host was quick to respond and get them fixed, he was great! I did not realize we would have to take a ferry for 16 round trip every time we left the island, there is not much on the island to do or eat, but it was a minor inconvenience for such a beautiful place and quiet relaxing environment. Highly recommend this home and location! My boys got some monster fish and had a blast! :)
