Wonderdul time ! The house was perfect for our group. It would be nice to have sheets and towels included and not an add-on item. OIR was easy to work with and prompt in responding to all our inquiries.

Fantastic! Perfect weather! I wish the Ice cream place remodeled during the off season. Someone should reopen The Jolly Roger. ?

Wonderful! The house suited our needs, missed having a deck or porch, but the area under the house was nice. The house was lacking a broom, and the dishwasher didn't work, but other than that, everything was good for our stay. OIR was responsive to our texts and made sure the trash was picked up when it had been missed as previous occupants left unbagged trash. We hope to return again soon!

The house was very quaint and perfect for what we were looking for. We had one issue with the property and communicated this with the Realtor already. This was quickly addressed. Everyone was so nice to work with. So happy to have found this wonderful place to stay. Felt very “homey”.
