We enjoyed our wonderful stay in this beautiful home! The marsh and the ocean in the distance were gorgeous, and we had deer and turkeys visit daily. The beach is a short walk away, and we also appreciated the pass to Hunting Island State Park. We loved that the house was private but our teenagers loved that it was a short drive away from all the fun in Beaufort. We absolutely will be back!

Debra is a fantastic host, super quick to reply as soon as we needed something. Super clean place exactly as described, I know some people mentioned the neighbors.. they weren’t bad at all. Just drive slow thru their yard and you are good! Super quiet and gorgeous! Stop by the gay fish company while you’re there and dockside you won’t regret it!

We have really enjoyed staying here multiple years. We love the views, seclusion, convenience to town and Hunting Island (pass included) We had great family time playing games and enjoying meals on the screened in porch. It's always a treat to spot deer in the yard. Would highly recommend!
