Something for Everyone
The home, property grounds and amenities were perfect for our fall family vacation. We were blessed with fishing fortune (caught crabs, drums, spot, perch, trout) which kept EVERYONE on the docks for hours, The water was calm so several enjoyed kayaks, boards and beach. Pool and hot tub were convenient and in good shape! There were plenty of beds for the family and spaces (screened porch, deck, pool room) to spread out. We were pleasantly surprised and look forward to returning again to enjoy the peace and fun. Thank you!

The house is even more lovely in person, the neighborhood is quiet. Great communication with the owners. My three teens had fun together and my husband and I were even able to go sit and listen to the waves by ourselves.

Idyllic holiday weekend
Loved the house, setting and experience. Cindy was easy to work with and the house was as shown in the pictures. Lots to do for tweens and adults: the pool with its toys kept them busy for hours, and the pier/sandy beach were fantastic for birdwatching over morning coffees. The kayaks were a welcome way to tour around the area, and there were so many other things to do, we didn’t get to half of them! The nearby marina (5 min walk) has food and live music on some nights - it’s worth checking out for those nights when you want to see other people. Our only “complaint” was that there wasn’t enough time to do everything! Thank you!

Amazing Trip
House was awesome. Plenty of room for 3 families and the dogs. The fishing pier was a game changer for our family of fisherman and the kayaks were so much fun to use. This house has officially set the bar for our big family for all future trips. Thanks for letting us stay in your wonderful home!

Relaxing stay
We had a great vacation here! The house is very pretty and we had lots of fun hanging out at the pool, paddle boarding, kayaking and crabbing off the dock. No luck fishing😞. We were definitely not bored on the property. Supplies and cookware were very well stocked! The house is fairly clean, but don’t look under the beds. As stated in the description of the house the nearest trash site was about 15 to 20 mins away. It does take away from the relaxation as we had to make a few trips just for trash. The only other issue we had was the Wi-Fi. After reading other reviews, I can see we were not the only ones. We understand that there’s only so much that can be done and Cindy did her best to help. Even using a hotspot, it was very sporadic and probably shouldn’t be advertised as having Wi-Fi. However, we would definitely stay here again.

Not all it seems
This trip went from good to bad to ugly fast. The very first thing that we realized immediately was there was no WI-FI. The listing says there is WFFI. We notified the owner right away and it was suggested that we use a hot spot, yet that was not possible so we had to drive places to make a call or use the internet. We had adults that were taking a working vacation and this made things very stressful for them. The grill was full of grease and debris and caught fire when we tried to use it. The pool was really dirty and not running and the hot tub cover was really hard to take off and on . The bed sheets in the master bedroom were ripped and there was no replacement ones ,so the landscaper had to come over bring us some. The oven broke and we could not cook so, all the food we had bought to cook had to be dumped($300 dollars in groceries). Speaking of dump, the owner requires that you drive 30 minutes to the town dump at the end of the stay to dispose off all trash. Well we did this 2 times during our trip and were sure to empty all bins when we left yet the owner said we had not remove all the trash and wanted to charge us extra money! We where refunded by owner for dinner but it seemed like they didn’t really care.

River Getaway
Beautiful home with ample space for a large family to spread out and enjoy. Well stocked kitchen and gas grill made cooking simple. The private dock was great, and the location on the river allowed us lots of fun boating with the whole family. Bring bug spray and board games as the cell service and wifi are a struggle. Also be prepared to take your garbage to the landfill as there is no garbage service. Overall the entire family enjoyed the house, pool and riverfront location. We would definitely return for another visit to shore fun!
