Great place to go fishing

Great place and location. The place was nice and clean and the area was a great place to fish. Private in the sense that there isn't any other property in the area besides the four units. would definitely plan on coming again. There is a lot of stuff in the garage though not sure why.

Excellent as always

The grandkids love the fishing on the private pier. I would go as far as saying it is actually catching, not fishing. Everyone caught a lot of trout. Neat way ever to introduce kids to fishing. We have been here a few times now and always have a good time.

Welcoming and Convenient

-Richard and James were very helpful! Took our kids out for their first boat ride ever with life jackets -Easy short drive to the beach -Some items needed repair but they quickly got fixed -Need to bring your own fishing gear as there aren’t any to borrow -Bring your own toiletries like shampoo and conditioner. Was hoping there’d be some available for the price -Overall, wonderful stay and very comfortable!

Dad and kids

Richard was there to great us as we arrived. Anytime we needed anything all we had to do was ask. The kids used the pool everyday. We caught nonstop trout smaller than limit sized under the lights at night with live shrimp. We grilled nightly on the available charcoal grill on the back dock. This was the perfect get away and be able to distance safely.

Fishing paradise

Richard and James were great to work with and the location of this property and a truly special private dock made the entire trip. My kids were able to bike to the beach in 5 minutes or hang out at the townhome and fish for hours. My only issue was one of the beds was nice and firm/comfortable but the frame likely needed an adjustment. Not a huge deal though.

Fish Beach Family Fun

Perfect fishing spot on the island! Our days began and ended with fishing, and sandwiched in between were the beach and pool. The townhome is also spacious and quiet. To make it even easier to get around to the beach and Packery Channel we rented a golf cart. The double decker dock is perfect and the lighting at night made it even better, the whole family could enjoy fishing. From the dock we caught speckled trout, crab, toad fish, sand trout, and tons of ribbon fish (you could see the reds and the flounder, they just wouldn’t bite…LOL). Our boys enjoyed a fishing trip on a boat, and were able to snag 3 giant black drum. Our family had a blast and we are looking forward to our next trip…so much fun!

Fishing Paradise!!

We really enjoyed this house. It is clean and a very nice location. We love the balconies of every level of the house. The fishing dock is excellent for fishing at night. when the dock lights are on the fish are on as well at night. Fish are chasing bait and you can see them big fish swiming around the light. We caught a lot of fish including flounders, speckle trout, red fish, croker, whiting and lady fish. We have so much fun. Our friends are planning to book this place in late July and my brothers want to go back already. Richard and James are awesome!! They are so freindly and helpful. They make us feel welcome. Thank you Richard and James for making our trip fun and enjoyable.

Excellent Fishing Haven and Superb Hospitality!

This was our family’s second time staying in Unit 3. We love the lit pier which attracts a variety of fish at night to entertain those fishermen in our family for hours! We caught flounder, sand trout, speckled trout, baby reds, ribbon fish, hard heads, perch, lady fish, and others. On this trip the grandparents joined for a few days and then family friends joined for the remainder of our stay. We had plenty of room to accommodate our guests, to fix meals together and enjoy eating the fish we caught. The teens enjoyed the pool, fishing, and the close proximity of the beach. My son and husband had a blast going on a private fishing trip guided by Mr. Painter. He is an experienced angler who knew the best spots to fish. They caught reds and black drums! Mr. Painter went above and beyond to make our vacation memorable! There was a local grocery store (IGA) less than a mile away and easy access to the beach. Would highly recommend this place for those who love to fish, who want to get away to relax, and enjoy making memories with family and friends.
