Tamarack Beach - Unit A
Exceptional Stay with Thoughtful Touches
by Carol
5/5
We stay almost exclusively in Airbnbs is when we travel and I feel like this has made me quite picky about the little things. Fortunately with this rental, I had nothing to complain about! It was very clean, everything was decorated so cute, and it's the little extras that show the hosts really do care about the experience of their guests. We even had a charger for our electric car!
This is a great rental, and we would absolutely stay here again.
