My family stayed at the Waverly Retreat for my son's wedding weekend. The location was perfect as the reception was at the Dunes Pavilion. We appreciated the space, cleanliness, attention to details, fully stocked kitchen and Kayla's assistance with everything. The master suite was gorgeous and the bathroom space allowed several of us to get ready at one time for the wedding. Thank you Kayla for a wonderful place to stay!

Serenity on the Shores

KelseyRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Ashley was a great host! She provided clear instructions for check-in/check-out, had nice local recommendations, and was extremely responsive. I also appreciated that she was willing to accommodate my travel dates near the last minute due to a death in my family. The unit was very clean and well-stocked. I loved the beautiful views from each window and the quiet, serene environment. Although I could hear the train at night, it was not super loud - kinda just like background noise. I actually found it to be peaceful (maybe because I’m from the city lol). Would love to visit again! :)

A cozy living area features a brown sofa complemented by patterned throw pillows. A round glass coffee table sits atop a light area rug. Two blue armchairs provide additional seating, and a tall plant adds a touch of greenery against the dark accent wall.
