Great House to stay

All the family had a great time. Everyone (including the little ones) enjoyed fishing, kayaking, and being close to the beach and downtown. Place is clean and the owners do a great job with providing everything you need for the stay. I've stayed here multiple times and have enjoyed every one of them.

The owner was very nice and thoughtful that answered my question quickly and given detailed instructions. The property was very clean with plenty items for our group needed. This gorgeous property is in great location for various activities such as fishing, crabbing, swimming, kayaking, sunrise/sunset watching, and is close to various restaurants. We preferred our college who would host a friends gathering in this place.

Stayed here a few times in the past and it's such a fantastic place and even better now. Plenty of space and it was extremely clean. Owners left so many thoughtful items around in case you accidently forget to pack something. Our group of 8 guys made this place base camp for our red fishing charters. Caught lots of small fish from the dock in-between charter trips. Everyone wants to come back and stay here on next year's trip. Plan to be back Oct 2026, if not sooner. Can't recommend enough.

Lovely bay house

Our extended family had a great time at this home. The downstairs area was perfect for the gaggle of kids and teens (they enjoyed the old school arcade games) and the main house had plenty of space for all to hang out and catch up. The dock was great for evening fishing and the house was really well equipped in every way. Close to town and beaches and the host was super responsive. Thanks for a great stay!

Great property in great location

Everyone in our family (ages 7-39) enjoyed this place! Fishing was great from the dock. The kayaks were fun. The arcade games downstairs kept the kids happy. The only minor negative was not realizing the downstairs and upstairs were not connected. We made it work though. Overall very happy and would book here again.
