A luxury vacation home with world class fishing

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay. You cannot beat the views here! Absolutely stunning! My mother and sister, Lucy, stayed at this home with our family July 2021. We enjoyed the tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the more crowded beach towns. We loved the house so much, that we asked the Superhost owner to let us know if he ever wanted to sell it. He did, and the rest is history! Enjoy fishing and crabbing directly off the dock or enjoy a day at the beach.
