We loved staying here, kayaking, and visiting with Phoebe the owner. She was such a gracious hostess, so helpful and knowledgeable about the area and attractions, where to go, park, eat, and spend time! We will definitely be back! Thank you Phoebe for sharing your beautiful home with us!

We had a lovely stay with the lovely Phoebe before the 4th of July. She even contacted a friend whose husband is vegan for a pancake recipe for my husband, who is completely plant-based. The bedroom and sitting room were immaculately clean, and she provided Diet Coke and La Croix in the fridge in the closet for us to enjoy upon our arrival. We were able to use her double kayak on the morning of our checkout to paddle in the ICW, which is right outside her back door. She had many menus to peruse for local dining options. This is a great option for couples, but she also has a blow-up mattress for children. She offered us beach chairs and umbrellas to take to the beach. I would highly recommend booking a tour at the Sea Turtle Hospital, not far from her place.

Lovely stay and Lovely host!

We really enjoyed meeting Phoebe and staying at her B&B. We had everything we needed plus a yummy breakfast every morning. We took the kayaks out which was really an added plus. Phoebe was very flexible about our plans and gave us some tips on where to go and see while we were on the coast. She’s a gem!

This was our second stay. Phoebe is a wonderful hostess. Her home is beautiful. We love kayaking the intercoastal, biking at the beach, walking Serenity Point, and then sharing out adventures with Phoebe. We will be back!

Incredible home with an incredible hostess

From the moment that we started making our reservation, Phoebe was communicative and helpful. The house is beautifully appointed and Phoebe is a perfect hostess. The bedrooms are super comfortable, even the couch bed was large enough for my daughter and I to share. The breakfasts were home cooked and delicious! Kayaking was so much fun and easy!! I can't say enough good things about our stay! If Hampstead is your destination, this is your bed and breakfast!

Best Bed and Breakfast we've ever visited.

Phoebe was the most accomodating and hospitable host we couldve asked for. This, by far, was the best bed and breakfast that we've ever reserved, and we will definitely be coming back. My daughter and I were on a 6 day road trip and took the most pictures here at Phoebe's property. Magazine quality accommodations and a host that has thought of everything, you will not be disappointed. She doesnt charge enough. Lorie and Julia Cahill

Relaxing Weekend Getaway

My best friend and I planned a quick weekend trip to the area and had the BEST time staying with Phoebe! Her home is so welcoming and such a beautiful location. Breakfast was excellent as many others have included in their reviews. We also took advantage of the hot tub and kayaks. Phoebe makes you feel like you’re visiting family or a friend. Thank you for the amazing weekend!

Phoebe and Blueberry Pancakes

We planned a short get-a-way to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. Phoebe was there to great us upon arrival and we noted in the ad and our own experience that she actually resides in the home, not separately, and has her own bedroom on the main floor. She used the kitchen to bake but otherwise stayed out of site for the most part to allow guests to use the rest of the home on the main floor- the living room and sun room. She is polite and conscientious to retreat back to her bedroom whenever guests are present. We woke daily to the wonderful smell of breakfast which we enjoyed together each day with the host at the dining table on the main floor. We were asked to remove our shoes upon arrival and whenever in the home, which we accommodated. Phoebe is delightful and her blueberry pancakes are the best I’ve have had! In fact I asked to have them two days in a row. As it was just my wife and I, and our purpose was to enjoy our anniversary, we were not sure how it would work out given the host lives on property. It worked out okay! We enjoyed her company and she was considerate enough not to overly intrude on our privacy, given we were there for a romantic getaway. Thank you for the experience Phoebe and we wish you all the best!
