We loved our stay at Brighton Winter House! The property is spectacular and very clean and comfortable. The access to the water and all of the water toys was fantastic. Elizabeth and her husband were lovely to meet and have done an outstanding job renovating a beautiful historic home! We will definitely love to return to this property again in the future!

Brighton is such a beautiful and unique property! It's location is ideal for excursions into Mathews, Gwynn's Island, local beaches etc. However, you don't even need to leave the property to enjoy a peaceful, relaxing getaway. The hosts have thought of everything inside and out. There is plenty of space outdoors to enjoy a casual stroll, water activities, a hot tub with a view, a firepit, a screened in porch.... the dolphin even made an appearance! Winter House is also very spacious and feels like a home away from home. The renovations have been beautifully done and the hosts have anticipated many needs of their guests which gives a feel of staying with family. This is a lovely property that will provide you with a very memorable stay.
