Travel tips
Plan around stay-length preferences: the host notes a 3-night minimum in the off-season and a 6-night minimum in-season, with flexibility considered case by case. If you’re bringing a boat, the large driveway can accommodate it and the neighborhood has a boat ramp to Red Mill Pond. The home is in a rural setting, so having a car is helpful for reaching beaches and nearby restaurants.
