The house was clean. The area was very quiet and peaceful. Loved sitting on the deck at night and we had a full moon. The host kept in touch if we needed anything at all.

Mini vacation

We had an amazing time during our short stay. The house is amazing just as described. It is peaceful and relaxing. The sunrise on our last day was absolutely beautiful. A very short trip to the beach. Will definitely be staying again.

Perfect Landing

The location was perfect for our first family vacation in a very long time . Being able to crab and fish right from the dock was great! Pool was fantastic be prepared to pay $2 per a bracelet for the pool though for your stay (I left my bracelets behind, hopefully they'll be available to the next people!) Brian was so accommodating and responded quickly.
