What a delightful property. We rented it for out-of-state family coming for a reunion. The screened porch on the back overlooking the river is fabulous, access to kayaks (plus life jackets) a nice surprise and the house is appointed with every appliance and supplies to get started plus everything is new and shiny - just beautiful. Janelle was nearly instantly responsive to any question and gave us great info about tides and the river for navigating it. My family had a great time and said to give them a 6 on the 5 point scale. If we need this type of accommodation again we will definitely come back.
