My husband and I loved this little cottage and already planning another visit. The host are great. The little pier across the street makes for a good fishing spot for those like us who like to fish, and just up the street is Billy's seafood and boy the steamed shrimp is some count. Its so peaceful and I got some much needed rest. Can't wait for our next trip.

We enjoyed our stay very much! The home was well stocked and the hosts were some of the kindest people, always responsive! We took our boat and kept it at the dock across the street. The hosts allowed us to use their crab pots and we had a delicious feast of sheepshead, shrimp and crab!The setting is beautiful. The views from the dock are stunning, it looks like a little fishing village.We would stay here again in the future.

Beautifully decorated, spacious yet snug-feeling cottage in a quiet, serene setting. Despite the solitude, you are less than 15 minutes from virtually every amenity you could need: shopping, dining, auto fuel and services, etc. This was our second stay and definitely won’t be the last. Thank you, Chris and Donna!

Cozy

This Gem is very cozy and clean. Had everything you would need and close to amazing restaurants. The fishing doc was wonderful with our morning coffee or evening fishing. The dolphins visited us almost every day. Short drive to beach as well!

We absolutely adored this home and the location. It was so clean and very relaxing. We also loved the fact that we could bring our Yorkie. We will definitely rent this home in the future.

Relaxing getaway

We had a wonderful stay at hytide. It is off the beaten path witch makes it a perfect p!ace to kick back and unwind. We loved Billy's fish market that is just down the street,but I think our favorite thing is that the beach is just a short car ride away. We can't wait to come back.

Perfect Getaway

The property was exactly as listed. It is a quiet area but close enough to the beach. We loved being able to fish and the grassy area was great for our fur babies. The hosts were great to communicate with and very accommodating. We would definitely stay again. .

Incredibly peaceful vacation. My husband and I loved the quaintness and serene cottage and its location !! Sunrise and sunsets from the dock were a daily ritual. The cottage was so well supplied with everything you need when away from home. The hosts were readily available and super kind. Looking forward to going back next year. Oh... fishing was GREAT too !!

Peaceful Vacation

We enjoyed being able to have parking space for our boat, a dock and close proximity to two different boat ramps. Sitting on the dock in the evening was beautiful and peaceful. We saw several dolphins. Owners communicated very well and were quick to respond to any questions.

Roomy, comfortable, clean house

We had lots of space for a couple. The house was very clean and we loved the decor. Donna called us the day of to make sure we were all set for check in and was easy to get in touch with over the weekend when we needed help with the AC. The bed was comfortable.

Quaint and Quiet

The owners are very friendly and involved through getting you prepared to visit! The house has amenities such as spices, tupper ware, ziplocks, etc that you never see at a rental. We were perfectly located to everything in foley and GS and two seafood markets in walking distance were a big plus. You must also eat a Tin Top i cannot tell you have wonderful, you must try it for yourself!
