This place is great. The hosts are always very responsive to any issues that may arise. We loved the hot tub as usual, and especially the fully fenced yard and their general friendliness to dogs. The addition of a kayak was awesome! We stayed here last year and and they didn't have one then. The fire pit downstairs was nice to hang out around too.Also, fishing lights attracted TONS of fish, if you're into fishing. We aren't but this place would be great for anyone who is. Will definitely come again!

Our family had a great time staying here. My teen especially loved being right on the water and being able to fish all the time. Great location as there is beach access less than 2 minutes away. We would definitely stay here again!

Great outside spaces

Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay. The upper deck has a lot of places to sit and eat. The downstairs has a couch , gas fire pit and swing. So comfy - even to watch a rain storm. We fished and crabbed off the back deck area. The kids loved it !!!House was clean and spacious. Good find

Nice, comfy, home away from home

Upon arrival we were greeted with a welcome basket. The house was nicely decorated, clean and well maintained. The communication with the management company was top notch. We did not have any issues. The toilet in the bathroom at the end of the hallway needs to be reset as it emits a sewer smell. We opened the window during our stay to help air it out. There were lots of extra curriculars to use: paddle board, kayak, firepit, swing, hot tub. I felt secure letting my 2 year old run around with the security of the fences/gates. I will absolutely rent this house again as long as its available. The management company was excellent to work with. I will always look for houses they host first. Thank you 979 for a memorable vacation and a nice homey place to stay.

We had the best time at this precious spot on the bay. Easy beach access and a great dock to fish off of. Finding a place that lets us bring our pups is always hard and this was just perfect - fun for the whole family. An added bonus was the Marina! What a hidden gem. We can't wait to return!
