The description of "Runaway" and the amenities are accurate. Like others, my wife and I enjoyed sitting at the deck each morning and watching the wildlife. I wonder if the Ospreys waited for us to emerge on the patio as we would wait to see them on their normal perch on the other side of the cove. An eagle venturing into the cove on one of our last mornings was just one of the many unexpected pleasures of this vacation home.

"The pictures do not do this place justice. The house was immaculate, we had 7 people and there was plenty of room to spread out. The kids and I loved Crabbing and the sunsets on the Bay were some of the best we have ever seen!..."

"Debbie's feedback, information was accurate. We had a ball with the canoe and kayaks, the pushbikes, had great rambles along the quiet country lanes, cooked using the Weber every night, bird watched, moon watched, star watched..."

"The pier offered a great sanctuary for sitting, relaxing and exploring....."

"...A definite A+ vacation in an A+ home. Thank you and hope to see you again soon!"
