The property manager is great and helped make our stay perfect.The house is beautiful and roomy with wonderful water views. The outside deck, firepit and chairs overlooking the river were quiet and a perfect retreat. We swam every day directly at the beach accessed by steep stairs near the deck. We especially loved walking the many trails of Sandy Point beach with the trailhead only a tenth mile from the house. The location could not be better. Swimming is best within 3 hours of high tide. The tides are fun to watch. The sunrise is beautiful and can be seen from the beach and sometimes right from the living room. We would love to go back.

Perfect 10. Quiet and unhurried. Lovely cottage in a fantastic location, 180 degree view of the water; enormous oak and pine trees shade the outdoor areas, including an easily accessed deck with a full view; staircase down to the shore. Watched the sunrise from bed. Comfortably appointed and tastefully decorated. Fully equipped modern kitchen. Windows everywhere. Couldn’t have been happier. We put kayaks in at the beach nearby and landed them on the shore below the property so we could go in and out easily all week.

What a great place

This has been one of our favorite places to stay on vacation. The view is incredible, lots of outdoor activities to do in the area. The sunrises are awesome, and the river gave us plenty to do when we were not out exploring.

Thanksgiving Experience

We just had a wonderful time getting away for the Thanksgiving holiday! We all had an awesome time and even got some snow! The only suggestion I would have to make since we did cook Thanksgiving sides of dinner at the house. A hand mixer or immersion mixer would have been helpful. I took advantage of my sons’ muscles! We will definitely be back!!

Restful Home with Lovely Views

The house was very clean and tidy, and stocked well for cooking. The view was gorgeous and could be seen from almost anywhere in the house. We loved having an outdoor firepit and a fireplace inside, which made things very cozy on cooler nights. We were quite disappointed that the stairs down to the beach had been washed out at some point and not replaced, as direct beach access was the main reason we had rented the house. However, there was free public beach access a minute's drive from the house, which was convenient.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cleanliness of the house, the well-stocked kitchen, and the beautiful views. It’s great to hear that both the outdoor firepit and indoor fireplace added to your cozy stay. We truly appreciate your understanding about the beach stairs. We’re happy to share that they have since been repaired, so future guests will have direct beach access once again. We’re glad the nearby public beach access worked as a temporary solution for you. We’d love to welcome you back in the future!

Beach access and dog friendly

A short walk down the beach will take you to a nice beach that allows dogs and our lab had a great time! The beach water was warm too. Kitchen was very well kept. Bathroom and living area were neat. The shower water pressure and heater tank worked great so didn’t feel the pain of sharing one full bath amongst our group our 5 adults and 3 kids. One half bath upstairs was helpful. Patio deck, furniture and grill were pristine clean. Opening the windows kept the house cool so didn’t really need AC in July. And the property manager Maria was excellent at communication and provided clear instructions.
