The house location, the setting, and the private beach, were much better than we expected. The listing in VRBO did not specify all the amenities. There were 2 canoes, 2 kayaks (1 adult, 1 kid size), a large floating water mat, life jackets, noodles, LP gas grill, charcoal grill, blender, many kitchen utensils, pots, pans, etc. (more than I’ve seen in other rentals), office supplies, books, many many games and puzzles. When you arrive, check all the drawers and cabinets - you’ll find lots. The huge top deck has a high unobstructed view of the sound and overlooks the beach. The wood is a bit weathered and some of the furniture and trim showed some age - but it was all clean and comfortable. The house sits on a low ridge among the trees that line the beach. This gave us a feeling of privacy and being right on the beach. There was plenty of room for the 10 of us (age 92 to 21 months) and we had a great time.

Great location, lots of good restaurants close by.
Have your own private beach on the sound. House is very nice !!

Excellent location, house and Sound view. The house was nicely decorated and the upstairs bed was super comfy. The only issue was finding the property because GPS took us to The Sandbar Restaurant. LOL

Home is beautiful, furnished nicely, all appliances work as they should except right front burner of range needs replaced. It is warped and doesn’t burn correctly. The kitchen is very well stocked with all you could want for a large crowd. It is obviously a popular spot and some repairs are needed to windows, doors, walls and ceiling. We appreciated the comfortable king bed on the top floor and the tall deck chairs with a great view. The hot tub was most welcome during some cool and rainy weather Highway 12is a busy road and traffic noise is a distraction for this location. A ramp to the beach would be a nice addition instead of another set of steps.

We loved the view, sound beach and the location on the island

This house has almost everything you need: kitchen is loaded with tons of cookware and utensils, there is a baby gate and pack-n-play, picnic table on the sound, hammock on the beach, kayak, canoes, beach chairs, sand toys, tons of books, games and movies!!! The house was clean and comfortable, deck view of the sound is amazing and the sound access was perfect for my two toddlers!!! We will definitely be booking again next year!

The good... Nice location, great views, and it's very quiet. The bad... The house is nice but needs some TLC... torn screens, light fixtures falling out, and ceiling cracking apart. We were there Saturday- Saturday and for the first 4 days we had no ac and it was 80 degrees in the house. After several phone calls a day for 3 days they finally fixed the ac. The hot tub has no filter in it and was never put in even though I ask them to.

We had an overall great time. With everything the rental property had to offer there was always something to do. The view was awesome and a great way to start the day on the deck with a cup of coffee. The wildlife in the sound was fun to explore.

Very nice home we used for a short business trip. Relaxing and all amenities were available.

This property is very nice and comfortable but due to an issue with the property management's cleaning crew not showing up to clean from the prior tenants we were not able to check in until 7 p.m.- that made for a long and stressful day after traveling 5 hours to get to the property. I also want to mention that the house is on stilts and when someone walks in the house I felt a slight vibration. Other than that, we loved it!

Bunch of watercraft provided

The porch swing on the second deck is a hazard. The two chains are not attached to their hooks properly and if you sit on it you get dumped onto the deck.

Seemed like it was going to be a nice place to stay. We only had 2 days before Florence evacuation. Hope it survives
