The home is lovely. Perfect for our annual family mini-vacation. Weather was not cooperating but we did manage to get a few days of fishing/crabbing. Russell was very responsive to minor issues when contacted. Views are spectacular. Lots of space to enjoy the property!

This is our second time staying at the property and we have loved it both times. You cannot beat the sunset views and the seclusion from other houses and people is really nice. Love this property!

This house was great! Very spacious and clean. We had a great time and the owner was quick to respond. It was not in a high traffic area so we didn't have lot of noise but still close enough to everything. Would definitely recommend!

The property was very clean, updated and fit our family of 16 perfectly!! The owner was great at communicating and I love the fact that it was gated and secluded a bit. The views of the bay were amazing and the house was well stocked with our needs. Each bedroom has its own bathroom which worked out well for us. Hoping to do this same house in the summer.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property. It was a beautiful location, with water views all around- perfect for sitting on one of porches and relaxing. There was plenty space for 13 of our family members, and they have a bunk room that is perfect if multiple families are traveling with kids. It was a gated community, so it felt safe and secure. Each room has its own bathroom as well, which is a huge plus with multiple families traveling together. The photos were accurately depicted and the manager was very quick to respond to any messages. The only downside of this home is that it was pretty unclean. I would just suggest passing that on to the cleaning crew because I’m sure they’re supposed to be held to a higher cleanliness standard. Overall, we would absolutely return and visit this home!

We had a great stay. Having a bathroom attached to each bedroom was great having a dog family there. The beach is only a few minutes away, grocery store less than 10 mins away. Host responded quickly to any questions. We would definitely stay again. For future guest, bunk room doesn’t have a fan, so may want to bring one,
