Great family vacation

The property was perfect for an extended weekend getaway with the family. We enjoyed the pool, the house, the game room in the garage and even saw some dolphins in the river. It was a great trip and I can't wait to try and book this location again in the future.

Unwind and relax

Perfect place to get away and relax with the family. The pool and lake were the perfect place to cool off. The large fenced in yard was great for the dogs to run around in. Watching the sunsets, sunrises and dolphins from the dock were just what we all needed.

Relaxing and beautiful

Our family of 5 enjoyed staying at Shannon's home. The pool was great and the amenities (kayaks, canoes, pool table) were great. We had a great time relaxing and enjoying the view. Our dogs loved having such a huge fenced in yard to run in as well. They absolutely loved barking at the geese as they flew by. Be on the look out for jumping fish. I didn't know fish jumped out of the water like that and it was a sight to see. Great vacation!

Wonderful!

House was clean and comfortable; enjoyed the screened porch overlooking the river. Dock, crab traps, fishing, kayaks, canoes all added to the fun. We enjoyed watching the ospreys feed their young and defend their nest from a bald eagle. And kids enjoyed the game room on rainy days. Highly recommend!

Perfect!

Everything was as described and as shown in the photos. The setting was absolutely gorgeous and so quiet. My family and I enjoyed most of the amenities provided and couldn't ask for a more relaxing and peaceful vacation. We were here too early in the season to enjoy much in the way of fishing and crabbing, but we saw two river otters and watched a pair of nesting Osprey. Thanks for having us!

Relaxing On The River

We had a wonderfully relaxing vacation. Caught a couple fish with the fishing gear provided. Caught a crab with one of the crab traps. Had a blast with the kayaks and canoe. We also got to watch the young eagles take their first flight! Even when it rained, the game room provided lots of fun. The property was very clean and very well equipped with everything we needed. Hosts were very easy to contact and it was a pleasure to interact with them.

Paradise Visited

The entire visit was absolutely outstanding in every aspect. The owner's are great and go out of their way to ensure that everyone is pleased. I have used VRBO for many stays and this house has been the best by far. Cleanliness is high on my list and the house was spotless. The house, amenities, pool and view is an A+++++. Hope to return next year. Thanks Shannon and Chris for what you do to make this happen!
