Gorgeous location with views to match. House was spacious and accommodated our group of 13 easily. Weather wasn’t great so we appreciated the comfy furniture and all the different places to sit and either read or plays games which we did a lot of. When the weather permitted we enjoyed sitting on the deck enjoying the peace that comes with being near water. A few of us braved kayaking and paddle boarding and some of us swam. The beach is perfect for all sorts of fun and sunbathing. The kitchen was stocked with the basics and more. Beds were all comfortable with plenty of pillows. Highlight was the swivel round couch which was perfect for reading, napping, tv watching. We definitely want to comeBack when the weather is warmer. This is the perfect river getaway!!

We had a fantastic time at the beautiful River House. It was the perfect getaway from our busy surroundings, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed playing pool, swimming in the river, fishing, and exploring the beach for unique rocks and shells. While the nearest restaurants and grocery store are a short drive away, every meal we had at the local restaurants was absolutely delicious!

Everything was great, beautiful house, pickleball driveway, great screened porch. Sadly the VRBO app listed an elevator (elderly grandparents needed to get upstairs) but Frank worked with them to help get our fee back.

Great home for relaxing vacation

We enjoyed tremendously. Lots of activities and room to keep busy at house for entire family. Other than eating out on two occasions, we stayed at house for the week. Jellyfish kept us out of water so enjoyed the pool, hot tub and kayaks on the water. Fishing and crabbing were fun for the kids. We enjoyed the vacation tremendously!

Wonderful house for a large group

This is a beautiful house with gorgeous views of the river and is great for a friend or family reunion! We gathered 6 families, with kids ranging from 1 to 8, and had plenty of room and so much fun! The kitchen/dining area was amazing (and huge) for prepping meals and allowing all 18 of us to eat together. It was super hot when we were there, but we were able to play on the river beach some and take the kayaks out. We spent a lot of time at the community pool, which was great for kids. The house was very clean and had everything we needed! Frank was great about answering our many questions before we arrived.

Fun, relaxing week

This home was VERY clean, well-maintained, and spacious. Beautiful view of (and access to) the river. Great spot to unwind! We were disappointed at the amount of jellyfish in the water, but nothing to be done about that- glad we had a hot tub and access to the community pool. Also wonderful communication from host. Thanks for the stay!

The house is even more beautiful and expansive than the photos here show. Everything looked new and was completely pristine. Debbie was very communicative and flexible on our check-out time. And getting to use the kayaks was an unexpected treat. We couldn’t have had a better stay—thank you!

5 Star Dock Sovin

We had such a wonderful family vacation! The house is beautiful - spacious and accommodating. We had a lot of fun making family meals in the amazing kitchen. We loved all of the water sports - kayaks, SUPs, floats - but the kids (and adults!) loved jumping off the dock the most. Frank was super responsive and just a nice guy. We had a great time and hope to visit again.

Beautiful house, perfect for extended family!

We rented this home for our Thanksgiving celebration. Everyone said it was perfect. Some in our family slept in another house around the corner, but all 21 gathered here during the day. Kitchen well equipped. Lots of seating room inside. Very comfortable. Great view of the river and pretty sunrises. Owner very responsive.

Lovely setting in a very nice house with great view. We would have been happier without the jellyfish. Kids couldn’t swim or be in water off beach at all because of stinging jelly fish. Had great time at community pool and in years and hot tub.

A perfect house and location for a family vacation

Absolutely loved the house and the neighborhood. The house was enormous, clean and up to date. The water was clean enough to swim in and there is a small community beach a few houses down. The house had kayaks, SUPs plus bikes. Frank, the host, was responsive when we had questions. Additionally, we lost power due to a storm that came through and the house has a back up generator which worked perfectly.
