Great location, Adorable place, Sadly won't return

The home was very nice, extremely homey and comfortable. Honestly the biggest complaint we had was the showers. The "master" bathroom was pretty much impossible to shower in. The shower has a steady drip stream and the balance between scalding hot and ice cold was terrible. Not to mention it was SO tiny you could hardly move around. My 6'2" husband had to remove the shower caddy to even get in and literally touched the walls while in the shower. The main bathroom shower was just a tad better, once we figured out the trick to get comfortable water. Loved that the owners were accommodating to our service dog, little touches were very welcoming. Matt and Debra were also excellent to communicate with. I will mention though, pest control needs to be better. We did deal with a few roaches, obviously that was upsetting. As much as I hate to say it, we will likely not return to this property as the showering was a problem, the oven needs to be replaced as cooking was difficult due to the electric coils lopsided, a small fridge, and icing on the cake was the cockroaches.

Sweet Southern Charm in the woods

My husband and 3 year old very much enjoyed our two day stay at The Station. Matt is easy to communicate with. The home is warm and friendly. Our 3 year old LOVED the Fire Truck. We decided to come a few days early while we waited for our Beach House and we agree we hope to do this every year! The house is charming and all amenities are provided with linens and towel. The extra doggy waste bags and doggy towels were appreciated! We loved the privacy but also close enough to grab food to go and the Dollar General is close enough for any last minute grabs. The back rooms got a tad warm and the hot water in both showers were just a tad tricky but overall we loved it and we will be back!

Wonderful

Matt's place was beautiful! We were only 20 minutes from family staying at the beach. It was nice to come back to peace and quiet at the end of the day!! Everything was wonderful! Would definitely stay there again!

Family vacation 2023

This house was perfect for our summer family vacation. We couldn’t get over how cutely decorated it was. The house was so close to everything! Only 11 minutes from the beach entrances and tasty restaurants! Low tide steak house is a for sure a must try. Matt was super nice and helped any time we needed anything. Thank you so much for making our stay great!
