A month in paradise!
This was a great property and location to escape from Midwest winter for a month. There is so much to do. Lots of off-the-beaten track adventures and ever-changing landscapes. The hosts have thought of every detail--outlet strips and sound machines in the bedrooms, lots of cookware, dishes, and glassware in the kitchen, a beautiful garden and patio area, and beach towels, chairs, noodles, etc to enjoy your beach time.

Delightfully whimsical property
We liked the bright colors and handmade art everywhere. The owners were helpful and very nice people. They have a beautiful, garden that they have turned into a fairyland with tiny lights. I highly recommend this place to stay.
