This is a great property if you have kids bc there’s lots to do to keep them busy without having to go far. The location is definitely private which makes a great hideaway but tricky for grocery/food delivery, if you plan on using it. Aside from that, the house has everything that you need. Check in was listed at 4p. We arrived slightly earlier & found a crew of people inside that was cleaning & setting up the amenities we had paid extra for. I would have expected all of this to be done before check-in time but we had to wait 45 min for the crew to leave. They did forget to put away some cleaning supplies which were left on the stairs but not a big deal. I reached out to Mary via text & the VRBO platform months before our stay with a question but never received a response. I did finally get a reply when I reached out again with another question closer to our trip date. Frustrating. But she was very responsive once we were on property. We paid extra for the inflatable slide and pirate pool during our stay. The hose that’s being used for these inflations take forever to fill & the crew initially forgot to seal the plug in the pool so it kept leaking and wouldn’t fill. We figured it out but wasn’t able to use it upon arrival. Everything comes at an added cost which racks up quickly. If you want shade umbrellas, the grill, crab cages, etc. We paid for a lot of extras & for the cost, I expected more. Overall it was a fine experience. Generally smooth but won’t re-book.

Absolutely enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home ... it is lovelier in person than the pics. Mary has an amazing attention for detail and was extremely responsive during the check-in process and throughout our stay. The grandchildren enjoyed the water-slide and the older kids enjoyed the beach and the hot tub and the kayaking. Close to stores when needed. Would highly recommend. Thank you, Mary!

I held my daughters 18th birthday party here, and it was incredible! Plenty of room for hanging out and great for overnight guests (lots of rooms and places to sleep). Beautiful house, inside and out! Lots of things to keep people busy and entertained, but just as many for relaxing. Fantastic stay overall with a wonderful host!!! Would absolutely recommend.

Large family group of 24 gathered for weekend food and fun around CNU graduation. We loved the house, location and appreciated all the owner support and communication. We could not have asked for better amenities.Highly recommend!

Horrible is just a single word. I wish i could get my money back

We had a great time staying here and will certainly look to stay again in the future! 5 stars!

From the first time I viewed Mary's listing I knew it was where I wanted to have a time of respite with my husband. We've put off any kind of vacation for just the two of us because of jobs, kids, and generally busy life. But when I saw this place I just knew it was where I wanted to go. Mary was amazing from the beginning of our contact. Giving me a call to reassure me of the amazing features, safety, and surrounding activities. Hearing a bit about the history of her home sealed the deal. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets, the sounds of nature all around us as well as a bit of light fishing. The activities could be endless but for just my husband and I , it was a lovely time to just relax. Overall I will say we very much enjoyed our time and we will for sure be back!

I will start by saying Mary was so responsive to all of my questions prior to booking and put my mind at ease with any concerns I had. I have rented several properties in the past and have never been so impressed with a Host. The drive down the gravel driveway leading to the house made us feel like we were in for something special. When we got to the house we knew we were right, the property took our breath away. Upon entering the house, we knew we were somewhere special. The home is beautifully decorated, not the usual rental furniture, and the amenities are overwhelming. I can honestly say we wanted for nothing! The house was immaculate and even smelled good. The deck with hot tub, firepit, propane heater, and gas grill was a dream come true and the private beach with firepit just blew us away. When you can finally pull yourself away from the house there are wonderful restaurants and things to do in the area. My husband and I had such a wonderful time at the house that we went the following week, and plan to return again. Thank you again Mary for helping us make this memory.
