| This rental is a little slice of paradise! From the clean and well-maintained interior, the set-up which has everything that you need, and the sparkles on the water that fill the soul! When booking, we were somewhat concerned about whether we would have noise from the lighthouse (which is within walking distance!) or the boats going by -- instead, we were pleasantly surprised of the serenity of the property! Ken was also very attentive and responsive to all of our questions, including extra questions due to traveling with an elderly parent with special needs. Highly recommend!
