My family of five (children ages 15, 13 and 10) had a wonderful time. We had plenty of space to spread out and sleep well, which was appreciated after a busy spring of school and sports. Everyone remarked on the comfortable beds. The kids fished for hours off the back dock. It was nice they could just go out and fish without having to drive them to a dock or arrange a boat. We rented a golf cart and ate at the marina most meals, which was a convenience as I didn’t want to cook on vacation. The long weekend was just what we needed to kick off summer. Would stay here again!

Great spot for all ages

Still taking advantage of my boys coming home for spring break- this home has a great dock, but also close to very clean beaches that are much quieter/crowded than up the island. It was a perfect stay.

Beautiful canal home

My family and I stayed from June 12th-17th and we all had a blast. The house was gorgeous, inside and out. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, swimming in the canal. Headed to the beach a few times and ate at our favorite place, West End Marina. The house accommodated our family very well and was spacious and clean. Thank you David for sharing your home with us.

Weekend Getaway

This was a great property for a family getaway. We loved being right there on the water. We used the paddle boards & kayaks in the canal. My husband enjoyed fishing from the dock. We rented a golf cart for easy access to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and large for family dinners. The bedding was comfortable. The owners were very attentive and available to us.
