Wonderful and relaxing

We had a great time at Little River. The property is very well kept and clean and has plenty of room for our family of 5. The views from the deck and the pool are amazing. The kids loved spending the days at the pool and catching crabs on the river.We only stayed 4 nights but would love to come back for longer.

This property exceeded our expectations! The house its self was beautiful. Located down a quiet private road right on the water. Very clean and stocked with everything we needed. The host even provided us with a basket of goodies and treats for my dog! We saw dolphins our first day there and enjoyed relaxing in the pool. Wish we could have stayed longer. Hope to return again next year.

Refreshing

We had a marvelous time. Early morning fishing and all day crabbing was a blast. When the mid-day sun became exceedingly warm, the pool became the oasis for everyone. Plenty for everyone to do and the best part was the view!.

This is the cleanest, most well stocked and relaxing rental we have ever stayed at. Plenty to do from crabbing, fishing, padle boating, or just relaxing in the pool. End of street makes it very private with no traffic. Comfortable beds, screened porch, game room, grills for cooking. This was our second stay and still fasinated watching the osprey fishing and feeding in thier nest. We will definately rent again.

Great family vacation

The property was perfect for an extended weekend getaway with the family. We enjoyed the pool, the house, the game room in the garage and even saw some dolphins in the river. It was a great trip and I can't wait to try and book this location again in the future.

Unwind and relax

Perfect place to get away and relax with the family. The pool and lake were the perfect place to cool off. The large fenced in yard was great for the dogs to run around in. Watching the sunsets, sunrises and dolphins from the dock were just what we all needed.

If you want a little piece of paradise this is the place to be. Five stars all around. The property is one of the prettiest settings I have seen in a while and the house is quite quaint. Little goodies were left by the host which made for a warm welcoming. I can't say enough about the host Shannon, she went above and beyond in helping me with a family crisis. I would go back there in a heartbeat. If you are looking for a place of relaxation, fishing or water activities, this is the place to be. Thanks Shannon.
