Great house with phenomenal views

We stayed for 10 days over the holidays. House was very clean with all the necessary items to enjoy the holidays. Fishing was great and the local restaurants were very good with friendly folks. Very nice comfortable area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. Convenient to have the boat right there to jump on and fish or fish from the dock.

Spectacular View

This home is clean and cozy. The river view is amazing, and there are plenty of areas to sit and enjoy the sunrise, sunset, and everything in between. We were very comfortable, and felt safe in the neighborhood. The refrigerator doesn’t have an ice maker, but there are ice trays and plenty of room for bagged ice. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer!!

Great for boaters

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting with a very nice floating dock. Dock is suitable for boats up to 25 feet or so. Public ramp is about 10 minutes by car, 5 minutes by boat. Large kitchen, large bedrooms, huge deck with a beautiful view. We enjoyed a fire outside one chilly afternoon. One PSA for boaters: the streets near the house and the driveway are narrow and winding, and there isn't an easy turnaround at the end of the road. With an 18-foot skiff, it wasn't a problem, but with a larger boat, you might want to launch the boat first rather than towing it to the house. Overall, a great stay and we hope to be back.

Awesome views front and back

VRBO 5 starsAwesome views front and backSerene neighborhood at the end of a dead-end road (Land’s End). Huge trees form a natural canopy and azalea bushes add color to a dream-like impression. We love big trees, and we could enjoy viewing them through all windows. The living room allows very wide and panoramic views of the river, marshes and trees in the distance. Boats are still on the water or moving slowly along. Sunsets can be observed. We did not hear any noise. The kitchen is well equipped, there are at least 8 chairs around a pull-out table, armchairs are comfortable, the master bedroom is large and has a carpet, the mattress is good for people with back problems. Stairs to the front door and the back patio is time-worn. This cannot compete with the many other great merits of the large house. We can recommend staying in this house, and we would love to come back.

Great location, nice ammenities, very responsive, deck and stairs had wood rot

Tiffany was great, very responsive and easy to access. Took care of any immediate needs and questions, thank you. Swapped out bikes that were not working. Kayaks were in good shape with all necessary gear. Dock was great and recently replaced The main negative was that the back deck had alot of wood rot and exposed nails. Stairs and railing were in bad shape, both the back deck and front stairs

Great house and great views with fishing!

This is our 2nd time staying at this home. We thoroughly enjoy the views and fishing from the boat or the dock. You can put your boat in just down the road and leave it at the protected dock and just jump in and go. Communication with Tiffany when needed is superior. We will be back again.
