Excellent location. Quiet and peaceful. Can’t beat the sunrise from the back porch. Fishing right off the dock was good, and the kayaks were a perfect addition! Host was available for any questions and made sure everything was perfect. Great spot, can’t wait to visit again.

We loved our stay at stilt house! Such a great coastal alternative to a beach trip! The water was beautiful to watch. The house was comfortable and nicely furnished. We had everything we needed. Sunrises were spectacular! Our property managers were so attentive and great communicators. We especially loved the large property, the kayaks, the peace and quiet! Our pups were thrilled with kayaking! We highly recommend!!!!
