My family of five (children ages 15, 13 and 10) had a wonderful time. We had plenty of space to spread out and sleep well, which was appreciated after a busy spring of school and sports. Everyone remarked on the comfortable beds. The kids fished for hours off the back dock. It was nice they could just go out and fish without having to drive them to a dock or arrange a boat. We rented a golf cart and ate at the marina most meals, which was a convenience as I didn’t want to cook on vacation. The long weekend was just what we needed to kick off summer. Would stay here again!

Great spot for all ages

Still taking advantage of my boys coming home for spring break- this home has a great dock, but also close to very clean beaches that are much quieter/crowded than up the island. It was a perfect stay.

Beautiful canal home

My family and I stayed from June 12th-17th and we all had a blast. The house was gorgeous, inside and out. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, swimming in the canal. Headed to the beach a few times and ate at our favorite place, West End Marina. The house accommodated our family very well and was spacious and clean. Thank you David for sharing your home with us.

Weekend Getaway

This was a great property for a family getaway. We loved being right there on the water. We used the paddle boards & kayaks in the canal. My husband enjoyed fishing from the dock. We rented a golf cart for easy access to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and large for family dinners. The bedding was comfortable. The owners were very attentive and available to us.

Perfect family gathering

The property was settled in a great location with great view into the bay. The house was clean and very comfortable. The house was also stocked with everything you will need to enjoy a week away. Including paddle boards and other activities the kids of many ages will enjoy. One of the best perks to the house was the owner was very easy to communicate with from start to end!

About the host

Hosted by David

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We both love the bay and this neighborhood which we have watched for years. Having close access to the the beach and staying on the bay is what we have always wanted. We wanted a place that was easy to travel to on the weekends after the kids games on Saturday and still make it home for dinner on Sundays. We love to fish and having it available on the back porch made it all worth the while. Having a house large enough to host family gathering was important to us.

What makes this property unique

On the water, large living areas so you don't feel cramped and great kitchen for cooking and hanging out. We are very close to the beach, so this place gives you the best of both worlds. In Feb. 2020 we are renovating the entire kitchen. We are putting our heart-in-sol into the house, not only for our family but for our guest.
