Briana B. Mar 18, 2020 02:10:53 AM

Summary: Absolutely wonderful staying here! The view out to the bay is sublime and we really could have sat and watched the water all day, but we also asked Leslie for some recommendations for food in and around town, and everything was delicious! The house was perfect for our needs, and we even grilled up some lamb one night. Couldn't have asked for a better spot to land in the Bay of Isles.
