The pictures don’t do it justice. The house was beautiful and there was a view of the sound from just about every room. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and the kids had a blast. I have stayed in many vacation homes through the years and this was one of my favorites.

Thank you, Kate! I'm so glad you found the place to your liking—it's such a special place, right on the water, and I love hearing that you enjoyed it. Thanks for being such a great guest and for the lovely words. I hope you come see us again!
Well-equipped home with spacious layout and beautiful views! Added bonus to have such a nice home be welcoming to our 4-legged kids. Distance was a little further out but not bad considering tournament wknd. Private drive to the house could use a little work. Overall, highly recommend if traveling with pups and wanting relaxing place to view the water.

Thank you so much, Angela! I’m so glad you enjoyed the space, the views, and that your four-legged family members felt right at home—that’s always a win in my book! I appreciate the note about the drive as well, and I’ll be sure to pass that along. We'd love to have you back anytime for another peaceful, pup-friendly getaway by the water!

Thanks, Tim! Wonderful guest and feedback— and we would love to have you back again! Best wishes, Landie
We’re so glad you stayed with us and that everything seemed to go beautifully during your visit. Before you even arrived, we had fun getting ready for you — even picking up a crab pot so you could enjoy the local catch!
Once you were here, we loved arranging the shrimp boil with Concierge Services and were happy to jump right on the outdoor shower repair so you could enjoy every part of the house without a hitch.
That’s why we were a little surprised to see 4 stars — from our side, it seemed like everything was smooth sailing. We truly value feedback, so if there’s anything we could have done to make it a full five-star experience, we’d love to know.
Thanks again for visiting, and we hope to see you back at the coast!
