Quiet and Peaceful

My husband, sister in law and brother in law, and I all agreed that we would li w to come back and stay here again!! It was a peaceful treat for the senses. The house had a personality that invited tranquility. The eclectic furnishings grew more beautiful the longer we relaxed in them. The hummingbirds were an added treat. Everything was super clean and beautiful. Would highly recommend this place if you want to relax🥰🥰

Ready to return!

The property was everything as listed and more! The setting was serene and beautiful, quiet, and private. The house was lovely and had soooooo much space. There were plenty of games and puzzles as well as books available. The kitchen was a dream and equipped with everything imaginable and we were also able to do some fishing from morning to night thanks to the pier lighting. Susan was responsive and pleasant the grocery was less than 5 minutes away. We’re already planning our return.

Beautiful Spacious Waterfront Property

The house is open and airy and right on the water (sometimes you can catch sight of fish popping out of the water in a flash!) and it's beautiful on the large amount of outdoor lawn space and pier. There's lots of space-- great for two families because the upstairs is practically its own unit! It wasn't a dealbreaker, but the toilets and sinks weren't the cleanest. Otherwise, great experience. Host was accessible, kind, and accommodating. We highly recommend!

Absolute treasure

The description almost undersells how amazing this home is. There was space enough for our adult family of 6 the spread out when a quiet work space was needed and every room was clean and well organized. The kitchen was with everything needed and extra towels and linens were available. The 10 minute drive to Haven Beach was convenient and the property itself offered plenty of room for relaxing on the dock, swing, patio or Adirondack chairs to enjoy the lovely and peaceful view of the inlet with fish, birds and crabs to enjoy it with. The owner was amazingly helpful and very responsive. I can't wait to go back!

Amazing property, wish we stayed longer.

The property was perfect for our group. Loved the private apartment that's separate from the rest of the house. The yard is truly amazing and the photos don't do the house and views justice. We just wish we had stayed longer and brought our boat. Susan was super nice...easy to check in and very clean. Couldn't have been happier with our stay.

Amazing home away from home

We can’t say enough about how wonderful this property was. Tucked away in a quiet town, the home on the water is beautiful. The dock is perfect for fishing or crabbing. There are so many comfortable places on the property to relax, play lawn games, or swing leisurely enjoying the view. This is the first place we have ever stayed that we are already talking about coming back next year. Thank you Susan for sharing your beautiful home.

Best vacation home.

My family and I had the pleasure to stayed at that lovely property for short vacation, however the place from inside and outside was amazing. The place was very clean, and the water view was to die for. I have stayed in many places but none as beautiful like this one. We would definitely stay at that house again next summer. Kudos to you Susan for being an awesome person. Thank again, Solange
