“So much space for a gathering of friends and family! We could walk into Leland and shop, wine taste and eat and then walk back to sit and play games or enjoy the setting. We loved it” and “House is great. A fantastic location in Leland. We walked downtown to dinner every night. The beach is on the way, so we stopped for the sunset. The house is very clean and well stocked. Beds are comfortable. We couldn't have asked for anything else. Melissa is super helpful with information about the area in advance and sends prompt emails with everything about check-in and leaving. We would love to stay here again”
