From the moment we arrived we were so thrilled with our rental location. The views are amazing and we loved having coffee on the deck and lounging outside and reading. The design of the interior was so well thought out. Everything was great. The bed was so comfortable we both had some of our best sleep in a long time. The host was great to talk with. She was so kind and you can tell she has a lot of pride in her place. It is a must stay rental!

The Lily Pad cottage is so lovely. Light, bright, and impeccably clean. It is such a comfortable space - loved the two comfy chairs that look out on the water. Alisa is a superhost -so attentive and responds very quickly to communications.

Such a darling and cozy place for a weekend getaway! I love how it overlooks the water and there a places to sit to enjoy the view outside. Alisa was very communicative and responsive and the apartment had everything we needed-including a sound machine. Would definitely recommend!
