I hesitate to even say how amazing this place is because I frequent this town and I don’t want it to book up for the dates I’ll eventually want to come back! That bed… We literally looked it up so we could look into buying the zero gravity system for our own mattress… it’s amazing. That was the most comfortable sleep situation I’ve probably ever had in my life. The bunk room is truly its own bedroom, but I assume they can’t call it a bedroom because there is no true closet. That was no issue at all for us as it’s a big room and they have a dresser and luggage wrack in there (and my 6 year old kid was the one sleeping in there so let’s get real he’s not hanging anything anyway). The tub is deep and the heated floors in the bathroom are heaven. The “extra” amenities are above and beyond (I’ve managed luxury vacation rentals for a property management firm on 30A for the last 20 years and this is truly above the highest lux expectations!!) we can not wait to return. My only suggestion is that porch furniture would be a plus! Looking to rebook with you again soon- thanks SO MUCH Robert!!
