About this property

*Water Front* Free Kayaking * King bed w/private balcony & water views*
Come relax with friends, family or have a romantic getaway at this, newly renovated, water front retreat. Enjoy fishing, kayaking, manatees and the most amazing sunsets. Have a glass of wine on the dock, s'mores by the fire pit or throw some steaks on the grill and enjoy the huge back deck.
The property is beautifully situated on Governors Creek and famous for flat water kayaking. Its also just blocks from the downtown area. With all small towns trains come and go right through town. The tracks run close by this property so If you don't like trains you won't like it here.( Look at the picture the first picture to see the location.) For me I love trains, there is something fascinating and a little romantic about these old trains. Kids love them too. If you love all the small town vibes, the water, the boats, the trains, the friendly people, quaint restaurants and all the other things a small town has to offer you will love this place..
So bring your friends, your family and enjoy!

Better than expected!

Even better than the pictures online! A nice size quaint home with the most beautiful relaxing backyard view. And even though it rained most of the weekend, we still loved it! Great sitting areas for conversation, a ping pong table for competition, the railroad trestle and trains for excitement, and God’s beautiful creation of Spanish moss, lily pads, water, and trees right outside the back door!

Good experience at Kayakers Retreat

Our stay at the Kayakers Retreat was a nice experience. We had plenty of room for six adults and two children under 12. Being able to sit on the deck and enjoy the view of the creek was nice. For two days in a row, we were able to watch three manatees feed next to the dock. A small alligator, rabbits, and squirrels were also observed. Kayaking on the creek was beautiful and having the kayaks and equipment on site was great! Our grandsons quickly made friends with some of the neighborhood children and had fun playing together. In addition, the garage had a ping pong table set up, which the boys enjoyed. As some other reviews have mentioned, the property is near the train tracks, but for most of our stay the trains passing by weren’t too bothersome. Overall, we enjoyed the property and would definitely stay there again.

Just What We Needed

My husband I, along with our two kids, ages 14 and 9, loved The Kayakers Retreat! House was beautiful and had everything we needed for the perfect, relaxing vacation. We saw manatee, birds, and turtles each day as we kayaked the beautiful creek. Also enjoyed our nightly dart tournaments in the garage. House is in a quiet location but still close enough for quick trips to stores and restaurants. Property manager answered all questions promptly and helped us secure reservation. I would highly recommend.

Going to the Chapel

We had a delightful stay at your home. My only complaint is not spending more time there! We were so involved in wedding festivities that our actual time there was limited. I will say that when we returned we were completely engulfed in a warm, inviting and clean home. Thank you for the wine that was awaiting our arrival. Coffee each morning on the deck was especially nice. I personally loved the train and YES it is close but enchanting. My grandchildren and grand pups did not arrive until Saturday afternoon but they availed themselves to the kayaking (well only one was old enough) the table tennis and corn holes! Great additions for guests as well as the dock for fishing. On a side note The Clay Theater is a great venue for a wedding. It is beautifully redone and a wonderful place to say I do. You should partner with them and provide a wedding retreat for the newlyweds! At least for the wedding night! Thank you again for opening your home. The grandchildren loved the train!!! In addition the dock was well lighted and was so beautiful at night to look at. A very peaceful and wonderful neighborhood. Barb
