Great family rental

We came for a family vacation with in-laws and kids. Our party of 8 all fit very comfortably! Would highly recommend this house. Beautiful sunsets on the porch with a cold drink. Loved it!

Great Family Home

We enjoyed staying at this property for our family of 6. We loved that it was a newer property and the island is wonderful. We did have some concerns. The first thing is the breaker kept getting tripped on the fridge and washer. This created an issue when we arrived and the fridge was hot and we had just arrived with $400 worth of groceries. We flipped the breaker and two days later it happened over night again. Not sure if this means there is an electrical issue, but it also did when washing clothes. Another note for future renters, there are no extras like salt, sugar, foil: things you might usually find in a rental house. Otherwise, everything else was great.

Perfect!

There is absolutely nothing negative to say about this home. My family loved everything about it. My grandsons love the bunk beds. My daughter and myself took the lower bunk beds I was so afraid that they would be uncomfortable but we slept so good!. My mother had the master bedroom which was so beautiful. The master bathroom we all fell in love with it. My sister took the queen bedroom and no complaints there. The house had everything we could think of plates, cups , glasses, pots and pans, silverware, utensils etc. Plenty of towels. Neighborhood was peaceful and a short walk to beach. We watched people fishing out of the inlet in front of the house and they were catching fish. Just nothing bad to say. We will stay again!

We loved the place and location. We lucked out with amazing weather - I’d rent again here. Our only suggestions are a coffee table and maybe little better layout with the tv room furniture.

Nice stay

We enjoyed our stay at The Anchor Holds. It was spacious and convenient to everything we wanted to do. There were only 2 wash clothes in the entire house and the kitchen didn’t have oils, salt/pepper or condiments so bring that with you. The master bathroom was amazing and the fenced in dog area was helpful. We would stay here again.

Awesome place

The house was very well kept up. Very comfortable and great A/C. Does not have an ocean view and is not right on the Bay but you can see the bay across the street. Has a little metal fenced in area for you pet. House is big and open roomy inside.
