Family and Birthday Weekend Getaway

I rented this house for my wife’s birthday and thought it would also be nice to invite all of my in laws as well as their children to join us. Everyone was comfortable, the layout was fantastic, and the property manager was very communicative and responsive. The kids had a blast playing on the sand and kayaking while the adults were plenty entertained by fishing, paddle boarding, and playing cards (when it rained one evening). Very short ride from the mainland to the island and it was a great time from start to finish. Hope to stay here again in the future if time allows.

Beautiful, spacious cottage, great for groups

This is a great rental option for large groups. We were 14 people total and were very comfortable. En suite bathrooms, modern furnishings, and lots of living and dining space. There is also great waterfront space: We spent all weekend on the dock or in the water, fishing, swimming, or paddleboarding. The rental company was responsive when contacted via e-mail, and reacted quickly when we had requests. For example, an electrical breaker had tripped before we arrived, resulting in a partial power loss. I e-mailed the company and received a response within five minutes notifying me that a handyman had been dispatched. The problem was resolved 90 minutes later, which was impressive given the property's location. The only negative aspect of our stay was that the Internet did not work. This wasn't a big problem since we were primarily there to enjoy the outdoors but it if Internet access is a "must have" for you, this might be a problem. All in all a great weekend getaway! We would definitely rent this property again.
