Perfect for our family

We had a family event nearby and siblings flew in from all over the country. This was large enough where we could all stay and enjoy each others company. The living room was large and had an amazing view. The kitchen was plenty large.

Nice water views

Well,the owner was very friendly and informative,when I spoke to him.The house was right across the street from the sound. I just want to say 2 things,first off,the living room definitely needed curtains or shades or both .The kitchen needed to be stocked for sure!If you are going to cook,bring your own seasonings!But,the sunsets are amazing!!!

Multi-generation holiday away

This was the perfect house and location for a Thanksgiving getaway with three generations of family, including three people in their 80s. Plenty of space and sleeping options, parking was easy, the views were spectacular, and location had lots of walking and exploring options. The kitchen was fully stocked. Check in and checkout were very easy and the communication with the owner was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely return!

Classic Home on the water

Overall, it was a great long weekend. The house gives off 'beach house' vibes while incorporating classic furniture. The kitchen is huge and well equipped. The view says it all. The bathrooms and bedrooms were very clean. Issues were minor - such as lights not working. Grills were offered but were in terrible condition. The charcoal grill was rusty and flaking, let alone not being cleaned out.The grills shoud also be moved to the deck side of the house for the summer season so you don't have to grill on the back driveway. The bench and some of the chairs in kitchen and outside need to be replaced or repaired. Shade in kitchen does not work.The yard needs some serious attention. We sat out on deck and enjoyed the weather but when you look at all the other properties you can see this one needs work. The neighborhood is delightful and safe. We enjoyed going over to the beach and some of our family took advantge of the local golf course.We had a great weekend.
