We had a great stay. We were there to see my son and grandson for the week. The property is in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the local restaurant. Shelly was very responsive to our inquiries. We would definitely stay there again.
By far the best place we have ever stayed. The house is well equipped. The host was very quick to respond to messages. All this and a spectacular view of the river. I will definitely stay here again when we are back in the area for a visit.

About the host
Hosted by Shelley Ferrell
Fairview Beach is the center of my heart. I grew up on the river, and love everything about it. Its my pleasure to share my hometown with you.
Why they chose this property
My family has been here for generations, along with most of my neighbors. There is much pride and love in this lil private beach, along with plenty of smiles to go around.
What makes this property unique
With a short walk to the beach, you can enjoy amazing sunsets or sunrises. The River rarely disappoints with its views and you can even catch a glimpse of some Bald Eagles flying around. Of course, not with out chatter from the Osprey.
