We had a lovely weekend at Jess’ place and greatly appreciated all of the little touches she added to extend comfort. This place is on a gorgeous property with amazing views just a few feet away. There is so much to do and see in the area, all within 30 minutes. We enjoyed the option to have a cozy campfire on the beach to wind down the night before departing.

Charming Waterfront Haven on West Bay

RachaelRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Corey’s place was perfect for our needs. We loved being able to pull into the garage and let our dogs out directly into the fenced yard. The home was beautiful, very clean and had a wonderful layout. Everything we needed was available in the kitchen and bathrooms, there were even games. We enjoyed the beach access and the sunrise and sunset views. I really hope get another chance to stay here.
