Our Favorite Place

This was a return trip to our favorite vacation rental. We needed to get away to a place we knew we could relax and enjoy. Thank you Jonathon and Carolyn for being the perfect host. Everything was immaculate and everything that you provided made our stay so special. The relaxing days sitting out on the patio was perfect and the welcoming brownies were delicious! We will be back very soon! Always love staying here. You make us feel like family.

We have found "our place to stay" at the beach!

Carolyn and Jonathan have created the BEST place for couples to connect and recharge! From the moment we stepped out of the car, we knew the weekend was going to be special. Everything was exactly as pictured and so much more. Having the golf cart available (at no charge) was wonderful for the times we wanted to enjoy the beach. I just can't say enough about this paradise, see it for youself, you won't be disappointed.

Everything we needed, was there, snanks, coffee and Alexa. Which really added to the already romantic setting. We shopped, fished and walk the beaches. We returned to enjoy a warm shower wine and hot tub just for us. Access to a golf cart, beach chairs, bikes. I highly recommend this little get away to anyone. Handsdown the best place we have ever stayed at.

The Best Getaway

This has been the best getaway, every detail in the suite was thought of and detailed with lots of love! They had so much provided within the suite that I didn’t have to worry about bringing anything but myself and clothes. The shared golf cart was such a great add, but the bikes were just as wonderful. It’s such a short ride that I enjoyed biking a lot. I needed a little getaway to refresh and rejuvenate my soul and this place did that for me. I loved it so much that I was so sad that I had to leave. It was such a nice relaxing environment and I hope someday I can make it back!

The outdoor space was another bit of heaven - lounge chairs with comfortable cushions, a hanging swing, outdoor lights and spa curtains for complete privacy. Carolyn offers bikes, kayak, and even a golf cart to get to the beach. And "Chef Jonathan" baked for us almost daily! These owners are more than responsive - they are truly concerned with their guests having the perfect couples stay experience! Highly recommend!"
