Glorious Stay for a Couple!

This was our second stay at the property. Our first stay was fantastic! This stay met and exceeded our expectations! Exceptionally comfortable and private. Bay access is particularly wonderful and appealing. We will definitely book a third stay in the fall.

Great place with a new perspective at the beach!

We loved staying on the bay with the dock. We loved fishing, we even got to see a 3ft alligator come up to the dock. The place is small but just right for a family of 4, that’s just there to pretty much sleep. We would definitely stay here again. We brought our 21ft boat, and thought there would be room but the neighbors were super nice and allowed us to park our boat in front of the driveway.

Peaceful stay with room for small improvements

We stayed for 5 days and really enjoyed the peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The property was relaxing, and we especially loved the beautiful sunset views.That said, there were a few things we felt could be improved. It was a bit difficult to find the location when we first arrived, and for a group of four staying multiple days, the supplies provided were very limited — only one roll of toilet paper, one trash bag, and a single packet of laundry and dishwasher detergent. We didn’t reach out to the manager and ended up buying our own, but it would’ve been helpful to have a bit more provided upfront.Overall, it was a pleasant stay in a lovely setting, just a few minor things that could make the experience even better.

Almost perfect

The house was nice. The covered deck overlooking the bay was perfect. Such a peaceful area for a couple that wants to reconnect. I told my wife that I I would rate this as a 10 out of 10 except for one thing. That bed! It is way too soft. Upgrade it please!

Beautiful Bay View

Very clean and beautiful views from the home. The pier is nice to walkout on at sunrise and sunset. The only complaint is the arrangements. The bed and the sofa sleeper are not comfortable at all. We bought new pillows to try to help, but still did not help. Would recommend bringing an air mattress for a queen size and use it in the bed. The shower is great and a big plus to have all the hot water you would need. Jessie’s on the bay is just up the road and would highly recommend checking it out.

no security lighting. Poor driveway access

The motion detector at front door not working. There are no security lights in parking area, making it difficult to navigate out of driveway, especially with larger vehicle. Nice area to park, just needs trees and bushes trimmed back a little.
