This was a good accommodation for our scalloping vacation, much bigger than we had rented the previous years. Vanessa was so easy to deal with and helped us out when we needed it. This property is like 2 trailers put side by side with lots of built-ons around it as decking: an outside deck for the washer and dryer, an upper deck for sitting, a screened-in deck by the dock, and a partially screened scalloping cleaning area by the dock, complete with sinks. It was advertised as "sleeps 8," but really sleeps 6, just glad we brought our inflatable mattress for our 7th person.

WHAT I LIKED: big kitchen with center butcher block, washer and dryer, scallop cleaning area, dockage for 2 boats, ramp to launch boats on property, lots of room.

WHAT I DISLIKED: the mosquitos and horse flies were horrendous (I am still healing after 2 weeks), having to make our beds upon arrival (annoying, as this vacation includes a lot of work for us already), having to strip the beds upon leaving (once again, more work), having to take our trash with us when we leave (and once again, annoying to have to do that), having to clean every dish (we usually do this anyways, given the fact that we cook for every meal, but still having to do this upon departure...annoying), and then having to leave extra money ($60 cash and extra $10 if u leave trash) for the cleaning person. In addition, I assumed this was a property with one house (cabin, trailer, whatever you would like to call it), but there were several other trailers on the property (2 at the front, and 2 or 3 to the side) that were close enough to wonder if our stuff was safe. We did see some sketchy characters in and out of the other trailers, but everything seemed ok. Kind of weird.

WHAT I HATED: Rocky Creek is not called Rocky Creek for nothing. There were cement slabs in the middle of the creek (that we hit our first time out), there are oyster and rock beds all over, and you really have to watch the low tides (something no one really plans on since we were only there for 2 full days). We have an 18' Hewes flatsboat, and we got stuck several times at low tide, we hit a few nebulous hard things, and ended up with about $500 in damage to our prop and skeg. Now, granted we don't have a jack plate, but that probably would have been handy, as we see this seems standard on Carolina Skiffs.

Unfortunately, we had to cancel our next trip at this property, and will stay on the Steinhatchee River from now on!
