We had such a relaxing stay at this waterfront property in St. James. The setting is peaceful and quiet, with beautiful views that made it easy to unwind. Everything was clean, comfortable, and just as described.Being able to bring our pet made the trip even better, and the property was very accommodating. We spent a lot of time enjoying the water and the outdoor space—it’s the kind of place where you can truly slow down and enjoy your surroundings.Overall, a 5-star experience. Would definitely come back!
sitting room, kitchen and bedrooms were excellent for our family need's. we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. the view combined with the perfect weather gave us amazing sunrises and moonrises.
Location was great and the views are beautiful. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked!We enjoyed board games and playing outside.The property manager was responsive even at 2am when we had a check in problem
We stayed here 2024 and this year we love this house, its location is perfect isolated from tourists there are plenty of small beaches that u can find and have your own private little beach. The house is amazing perfect for a big family or a group the upstairs and down are separated and its nice. AND THE FISHING OFF THE DOCK IS AMAZING WE GOT TWO SHARKS THIS YEAR.
Our first all girl getaway and we had a fantastic time! The property location was great and the back yard and dock were amazing!
We enjoyed the back deck but it did seem a bit aged as did some of the property features.
I would like to message the manager/owner about a few items that would have made our stay much nicer but won’t post here because they would not prevent us from staying here again.
The stay was just what we all needed the property was beautiful, the fact that they look like they were the only property around with a dock made it real nice. Their were so many beaches to pick from, the only complaints i have are they say theres a hot in the listing and theres not, and there arent many restaurants close to choose from, other than that best place ever highly recommend. P.s. fishing is super good from the dock.

Beautiful view, not super clean
First and foremost, the property has a beautiful view and the dock is really nice. My husband and sons had a great time fishing and kayaking. However, we were quite surprised when we got to the house to realize that there isn't an inside connection between the upstairs and downstairs. You must go outside and use main stairs to go back and forth between the levels. For us, this wasn't a huge ordeal because our kids are older, but if you have small children this may be an issue. Also, the cleanliness of the downstairs was not great. The A/C seemed to have ductwork issues where it was sweating and dripping on us.
BonjourMaison très agréable et bon rapport qualité-prix.Les point d'amélioration ou décevants pour nous:- très peu de vaisselle (peu d'assiettes, 1 seul saladier, pas de planche à découper, pas d'essoreuse à salade..)- pas d'accès à la place de parking de la maison- pas de congélateur ou de freezerDe même, il est écrit qu'il y a un barbecue mais attention il est au gaz et d'ailleurs ils avaient oublié de le sortir et donc ils ont dû appeler le voisin pour qu'il gère, ce qu'il a fait et de manière réactive et sympathique.L'organisation des chambres est très sympa mais effectivement, le lit superposé des enfants est très bruyant. En revanche la literie des autres chambres est très agréable, de qualité et les chambres sont spacieuses. La maison chauffe bien si besoin Maison sans wifi, ce qui ne nous a pas dérangé du tout.Enfin la maison est assez bien placée dans la mesure où elle est proche des différents sites comme Guedelon ou la maison de Colette par exemple, pour autant il n'y a aucun commerce accessible à pieds, mais cela n'a pas été problématique pour nous.
