Whispering Oaks
This was the perfect property for our family vacation. The house was well equipped and well maintained. The deck was perfect for afternoon and evening relaxation, shady and breezy! The large back yard was perfect for the kids, as was the beach area at the water. Kids were able to experience sand, salt water, bird and boat watching without the worry of big waves and undertow. This was truly an ideal set up for adults and kids.

The house and little private beach are great. Deck has shady spots most of the day, which is nice. No real complaints, we had a great week!
