Cozy but Roomy Getaway

Beyond being a lovely house, we were impressed by how much space we had available. We had four adults, each of whom had their own room and their own bed—usually oversized—with several beds to spare and more comfy common areas than we could fully take advantage of. Next time I’ll bring more friends!

Came back for the third time!

My wife and I (plus bother-in-law first time there) and our two pups came down for the festival at Stratford Hall. We have used the house three times now and it has been a joy and wonderful experience. The pups enjoyed the walks to the beach. Maria is a wonderful host! If you have questions, she gets right back to you.

Family Vacation

Our family had a great time at the Kinsale Cove this year. Crabbing and fishing from your private pier is great. We bring hand lines to crab and in 5 days caught 70+crabs. They were delicious. The fishing is fun for the kids. We caught drum, croaker and spot. The new back deck is awesome. So nice to sit out there in the evenings relaxing by the water. Thank you for hosting us again this year!

Pros and Cons

Maria communicated very well. Check in was a breeze. Neighborhood was quiet. The house in general was dirty-the outside was unkept with trash in the yard. The inside was not clean-carpets are horribly stained. HVAC is locked and controlled by host. Had to message her to lower temperature. Not used to that in a rental and did not like that. Most of the bedroom light and fan switches did not work and wall controls are missing batteries. TV remotes were dead and/or were missing batteries. Loved the ping pong table. This could be a nice property with some attention and updating, but would not stay here again.

Great house for stay with family

We had a nice stay, the house is a good size space for everyone, and the ping pong and foosball tables were a huge hit! The windows that surround the house to see the water from two views is beautiful. The only down side is that there is only one full bathroom, but we knew that when we booked. There was an issue with the door lock, but once we got a hold of the property manager who connected us with the owner and it was taken care of quickly and easily. They were both very nice and it was no problem.

we had a great time and the house was nice, only one issue you need to address is the downstairs bathroom toilet wax ring needs replaced, it leaks out of bottom when flushed, we tried no using it as much and laid a towel down on the floor beside the toilet, the only complaint was the squeaky floors lol.

Peaceful, beautiful and just wonderful

I gave our kids the choice of beach, river or mountain for our Labor Day trip and they chose river and I am so glad they did. The home was absolutely perfect for our group! We had so much fun. We crabbed, we fished, we played games, ping pong, foosball and we watched a meteor shower on the dock. It was one of those vacations where we all got to reconnect and just focus on being together. It was comfortable and the host provided extra bedding and cots, which allowed the kids to spread out. My only complaint really is the knifes provided do not have a sharp edge, so if you're planning to prep meals, bring your own knife from home. We would absolutely stay again, with no hesitation!

Beautiful spot

If you want quiet and relaxation, you will find it here. The cove is beautiful. There was no one around. We enjoyed afternoons on the dock in the shade. Our kids enjoyed fishing and crabbing. We brought our own paddle board to explore. The house is very welcoming for dogs and had everything we needed! I would love to see addition of a patio or screened in porch in the future or possibly some kayaks! The host was very responsive.

Quiet Getaway

Secluded and quiet location. House has everything listed on the site you will need to enjoy yourselves. Local merchants are helpful with ideas. Fishing from the dock is what my boys loved the most. Granddaugther loved the kid friendly house. Community beach is just a short walk down the road. One recommendation to check the water before the kids run in. Jellyfish. Overall we had a great time and would love to visit again

spacious property

The property size is great, internet and amentities are fine. I wish this place was more clean. The outside of the house was littered with poop from wild life. The pier had poop all over it. The water was over grown with weeds so you are unable to crab or fish at this property. This property is dog friendly which is a plus. My pup loved playing in the water. I wish it was not as swampy but what can you do. If you add an outdoor washing area that would be helpful with kids and dogs. The property manager/owner was very responsive which is a plus.

Wonderful home & location!

This was such a great place for our family to stay. We traveled for a family wedding nearby, and wanted to have a few days to catch up with family in the area. Initially we thought about getting 2 hotel rooms, but decided to try this home instead - we are so glad we did!! You can see water from every window. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. The host was very responsive and we had no issues at all, just a relaxing great time!

Nice secluded vacation home

The place is just as described. A few feet out the back door is the river and a dock. You can watch the fish jump out of the water. We saw bald eagles and all kinds of wildlife. The only downside is that it can be a bit of a drive to anything. The closest grocery store is 20 minutes away, restaurants are about 20 minutes away. We were there during the off-season and most things were not open till Wednesday or Thursday. These things did not bother me as I had to work and being able to sit in the kitchen and stare out at the river view while working was worth it to me.
