Footbridge North Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nothing special, but great for the price."

Drakes Island Beach Front Breathtaking Property : Oceanviews and Sandy Beach !

10/10 Excellent

"The kitchen wasn’t very clean—mostly inside the cabinets. But was the end of the summer. And think things can slip. But the location is divine! And the communications w hosts just super! Love, love this place!"

Stunning 5BR home w/ pool, beautiful yard, near beach, sleeps 8–16 comfortably

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect rental for a large family with kids! We had 14 people-8 adults & 6 kids, and were all very comfortable with plenty of space. The kids enjoyed taking walks on the quiet street and the “Cousin cove” bedroom. Everything we needed was provided, hope we can come back next year!"

Cute cottage 1 mile from Drakes Island Beach with antique interior

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage. Just the right combination of rustic original charm and fully functional modern amenities. The area itself was beautiful with several attractive dining options."

Studio condo with screened porch and seasonal pool/pool table - near beaches

10/10 Excellent

"The place was clean, however there was only 1 lamp and it was on the dresseracross the room from beds. There was no lamp on nightstand. The furniture was old, second hand. The kitchen was nice but cramped, and the bathroom ceiling had mold. The location, however was great!"

Charming cottage with outdoor pool, firepit, jetted bathtub, & partial AC

10/10 Excellent

"Cute little cottage. Me and my sister stayed with our children and the way the 2 bedroom was setup was perfect for 2 "families" both bedrooms off the common area, making it quiet at night. There is a mini split in each room, so it was nice and cool! The beds were very comfortable. And it was very clean! The little playground was good for the kids, and the pool was clean and nice! Only cons... the bedrooms have skylights, making it really really bright at 530am. And pulling out of the driveway is tough, the shrubbery definitely needs to be cut back. But thats all I could complain about!! Thank you! We will be back!"
