My BF & I recently got engaged and hadn't had a vacation w/ just the two of us (sans family or pets) in 8 years. We wanted some place not too far so we didn't spend a lot of time on the road, near water, & relatively affordable. Sail Away at COBE it was.
It took us only 1-hr and change to get there from where we live 25 mins past Fredericksburg. Smack dab on the beach front Sail Away is incredibly convenient & easy. It's decorated just as I would decorate a beach apt. and it had everything one needs to enjoy a week long, low key vacay in a small sleepy beach town; we only needed to buy groceries and more TP. Note: use the coffee pot; Keurig does not work well. Also note, although above a bar, bar noise is not too bothersome.
Our only issues; a dying fire alarm battery at 1am driving away my brother who was staying that night after drinking with us at Dockside and a VERY loud band playing next door at High Tides Sat. night with some unattended young kids running around screaming bloody murder. Adam responded as promptly as he could to the alarm given it was 1 am and even he is at the mercy of maintenance. However, maintenance did arrive earlier than they quoted- said they would be there before 11 and got there between 0930 and 1000. The alarm was hard wired and didn't want to mess with it. Otherwise yes, we probably would have tried to take the battery back up out ourselves. The band & kids we just had to endure by hiding in the bedroom, closing the door, and turning TV up.
