The place was great - clean, neat and comfortable. Home away from home. We had our own private dock for doing outdoor activities like crabbing fishing and kayaking. Everything went smooth and communication with guest host was as interactive as you wanted it to be and very accommodating. I would rent here again!

It's a nice rental, recently redone on the interior, on a bluff overlooking the river (with a nice breeze). The owner is friendly and was looking out to make sure everything was in order and provided - including kayaks to launch from the dock if desired. The only knock would be the price point (mostly the fees) is a little high but it's certainly much more pleasant than staying at a hotel. Three bedrooms so certainly enough room for a family.

Pleasant Escape

A very nice place to relax around the fire pit with a lovely view of the water, and a nice dock for fishing and crabbing.
