Can’t wait to come back!

We really enjoyed staying on the Starfish. The bathroom is beyond super tiny, but there are a larger outdoor showers and pool bathrooms that we used. If you are a larger person, the super tiny bathrooms will be a problem. However, it won’t prevent us from returning. We loved it!

Cute Boathouse

What a cute and convenient way to vacation. Loved being literally on the water and sitting outside in the Adirondack chairs watching the boats come into the marina in the evening. The boathouse was super clean. It was a quiet and relaxing place to stay. We had one issue with the water not working on day two of our 3 night stay (not the property’s fault) but Mike the property manager was extremely accommodating and gave us access to a vacant houseboat across from ours so we wouldn’t be without water for the short time it took for ours to be fixed. Thanks for a great weekend getaway! We will be returning soon!
