We have been lucky enough to enjoy "On the Strait" for two years now, and cannot heap enough praise on this property to do it justice. Private, tranquil, serene, cozy, comfortable, and spacious, only just begin to describe this little gem. Loads of room for 8 (although we have only ever maxed out at 6), nobody gets underfoot...plenty of bedrooms and beds, all outfitted with fresh, new linens. Public spaces (living, dining, foyer, decks) are more than spacious and again accessorized with the newest of conveniences. More than enough outdoor family areas, be they the porch or "island" in the lawn, just steps from the beach, outfitted with sturdy, old-school Adirondack chairs, hand-hewn timber benches, or solid timber picnic table. We have been just the 2 of us, or, as stated above, up to six...but have easily hosted family dinners of 14. Home is also outfitted with state-of-the-art wireless music system, Sonos, Netflix, Cable, or baskets of games (and we played almost all of them!), or just sit in the big, oversized round chair for two, reading, with the windows open and sea air whistling through. I could go on and on...Owners are lovely, accommodating folks who have always communicated clearly and without hesitation. I'm a little sad for weeks after I leave!! You will be too :)
