Great place to stay. We make this place our base camp for our redfish charters. We had 11 guys and had plenty of space. We caught alot of fish off the dock including flounder, black drum, a few small reds, small specks, stingrays, a few alligator gar, and tons of sand trout. The house is always nice a clean with plenty of towels and everything else you need. The owners even leave a few thoughtful items around the house one might need. Can't recommend enough and I am ready for next year.

This is the 3rd time we have come to this property. Love that it is so convenient to walk outside of the house and check crab cages and fish. Our 87 yr old parents and our grandkids ages 2-9 had a great time as well. Thank you!

Great House to stay

All the family had a great time. Everyone (including the little ones) enjoyed fishing, kayaking, and being close to the beach and downtown. Place is clean and the owners do a great job with providing everything you need for the stay. I've stayed here multiple times and have enjoyed every one of them.

Great Place to stay & Fun Fishing

The new owners have done an awesome job of fixing the place up and we really enjoyed the fishing and relaxing off the docks. There were plenty of cooking supplies and amenities. I will definitely be renting this place in the future and would recommend it to anyone.

The owner was very nice and thoughtful that answered my question quickly and given detailed instructions. The property was very clean with plenty items for our group needed. This gorgeous property is in great location for various activities such as fishing, crabbing, swimming, kayaking, sunrise/sunset watching, and is close to various restaurants. We preferred our college who would host a friends gathering in this place.

Stayed here a few times in the past and it's such a fantastic place and even better now. Plenty of space and it was extremely clean. Owners left so many thoughtful items around in case you accidently forget to pack something. Our group of 8 guys made this place base camp for our red fishing charters. Caught lots of small fish from the dock in-between charter trips. Everyone wants to come back and stay here on next year's trip. Plan to be back Oct 2026, if not sooner. Can't recommend enough.

Awesome place

This place is outstanding! We really enjoyed our stay with the kids and grandkids. They really have everything you need here for kids and adults. The guys even caught a variety of fish and some were even big enough to keep. Would definitely book again, we absolutely loved our time here and didn't want to leave!! Thanks again for your hospitality!!

Lovely bay house

Our extended family had a great time at this home. The downstairs area was perfect for the gaggle of kids and teens (they enjoyed the old school arcade games) and the main house had plenty of space for all to hang out and catch up. The dock was great for evening fishing and the house was really well equipped in every way. Close to town and beaches and the host was super responsive. Thanks for a great stay!

We are a large family and this place was perfect for our gathering. Super quite and easy access to the the seawall. We mostly relaxed and fished. Wish the porch had a gate to keep little ones from access to down stairs.

Great Fishing and Awesome House

This is my 4th time staying at this house with the current owner and the place is great. The fishing is good from the dock, the house is clean and provides plenty of amenities. I will definitely be returning. I have recommended this place to a friend who stayed last year and will also return with his family. Thanks, Dwayne.

Could've stayed longer

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at this beach house! It was perfect for our family and friends to unwind and get in vacation mode prior to leaving on a cruise. Wish we had booked a couple more days. Perfect location for fishing, crabbing, kayaking, etc! Beautiful community to putt around in our rented golf cart too! Thank you Keith and Tina for sharing your home with us!
