Tiffany was great to work with. She alone is worth 5 stars. The location was also a 5. There were a lot of stairs which made it difficult for a couple of people in our party. We appreciated that the property felt like it had been well cleaned. The property is definitely in need of some TLC though. There was a little bit of a mildew smell to the upper level bathroom and bedroom. The upstairs bathroom is pretty dated. The kitchen had the things required, but could have used a few more pots, pans and seasonings. There were no extra regular garbage bags for the kitchen garbage. With that being said, we all agreed we would stay here again. The location is amazing and the fishing dock was amazing with gorgeous views. This is a place you stay at for location alone and it was definitely worth the price. Tiffany, again you were fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about her. The hitchhikers our little dog would get in his hair were also terrible as a caution to those with pets. And be careful of the trees that are at the end of the driveway. It made for careful exits. We almost hit the tree a few times as we were coming and going a lot for wedding.

Accommodations were ok /outstanding views and great dock.

This house is in a lovely neighborhood and has spectacular views! We chose it because we are boaters and needed a deep water dock and it was perfect. The kitchen is very nice and well appointed. The inside is clean but the outside needs some attention. For an older person the stairs are a bit tricky. The front ones are not useable and the side steps have vines growing on them but still usable on the opposite side of growth. The house itself needs some cosmetic attention here and there and is in need of updated bedding in one of the rooms. It seems as though maybe it is being updated a bit at a time. The owner was very attentive and quick to respond. I would say it if you are a boater, it’s important to note not to bring your boat to the house! There is not a place to turn around. It is very narrow with large trees separating the road. As gorgeous as it is, it’s not conducive to pulling a trailer in. Just drop it off at the landing before going to the house. We didn’t have children or animals but the backyard is fenced in so that would be a plus if you needed it. Nice dining room with beautiful table.

Great house and great views with fishing!

This is our 2nd time staying at this home. We thoroughly enjoy the views and fishing from the boat or the dock. You can put your boat in just down the road and leave it at the protected dock and just jump in and go. Communication with Tiffany when needed is superior. We will be back again.

Awesome views front and back

VRBO 5 starsAwesome views front and backSerene neighborhood at the end of a dead-end road (Land’s End). Huge trees form a natural canopy and azalea bushes add color to a dream-like impression. We love big trees, and we could enjoy viewing them through all windows. The living room allows very wide and panoramic views of the river, marshes and trees in the distance. Boats are still on the water or moving slowly along. Sunsets can be observed. We did not hear any noise. The kitchen is well equipped, there are at least 8 chairs around a pull-out table, armchairs are comfortable, the master bedroom is large and has a carpet, the mattress is good for people with back problems. Stairs to the front door and the back patio is time-worn. This cannot compete with the many other great merits of the large house. We can recommend staying in this house, and we would love to come back.

Great for boaters

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting with a very nice floating dock. Dock is suitable for boats up to 25 feet or so. Public ramp is about 10 minutes by car, 5 minutes by boat. Large kitchen, large bedrooms, huge deck with a beautiful view. We enjoyed a fire outside one chilly afternoon. One PSA for boaters: the streets near the house and the driveway are narrow and winding, and there isn't an easy turnaround at the end of the road. With an 18-foot skiff, it wasn't a problem, but with a larger boat, you might want to launch the boat first rather than towing it to the house. Overall, a great stay and we hope to be back.

Spectacular View

This home is clean and cozy. The river view is amazing, and there are plenty of areas to sit and enjoy the sunrise, sunset, and everything in between. We were very comfortable, and felt safe in the neighborhood. The refrigerator doesn’t have an ice maker, but there are ice trays and plenty of room for bagged ice. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer!!

Great location, nice ammenities, very responsive, deck and stairs had wood rot

Tiffany was great, very responsive and easy to access. Took care of any immediate needs and questions, thank you. Swapped out bikes that were not working. Kayaks were in good shape with all necessary gear. Dock was great and recently replaced The main negative was that the back deck had alot of wood rot and exposed nails. Stairs and railing were in bad shape, both the back deck and front stairs

Wonderful stay with a few shortcomings. No instructions for operating tv. Screens were missing in the downstairs porch. We could not use the downstairs porch due to biting insects. The front steps to the house need some repair. We used the back steps because the front steps lean. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the fire pit and dock.
