This was the perfect location to celebrate our Grandmother’s 100th birthday! The house and property perfectly accommodated our very large family and we enjoyed every amenity it had to offer. It truly has everything you could ever need. Our family loved spending time at the beach just a short drive away from the house and were able to create the sweetest memories! Communication with Susan, the property manager, was top-notch and she made our stay absolutely seamless! She worked with us to accommodate every single one of our needs. Could not recommend this property enough! Huge thanks to Jack and Susan for making this special weekend happen for our grandma and family! If you’re looking for your next family getaway/reunion, look no further!

Perfect Quick Getaway
Stay was amazing. We had a large group of teenagers that we were exploring the area with. It was close enought to Charlotte and Davidson College that we could easily access everything. At the same time it was spacious enough and provide ample oppurtunity to keep correctly engage teenagers when back on property. Owner/property manager was great as well. She checked in frequently and made sure we had everything needed.

Half of our family lives in New York and the other half in Florida so we were looking for something in the middle. We found this gem smack dab in the middle! Big enough for all and Susan was so super helpful. She even came over and took pictures of our group of 18 so we could all be in it and there was no place to prop up a camera!! We had a blast and have no complaints.
