Summary: This property was the perfect location for spending time with my husband and his family. Very clean and very cute.
Valerie E. Apr 28, 2025 06:53:21 AM
Summary: We loved this property. It felt like home from the moment we arrived. We were greeted by a ghecko and made friends with the neighbours cat. The palms, spanish moss, and river brought charm. Ariana was attentive and helpful!!

Summary: My sister and I chose this place because it was really close to my mother’s. It was very clean. We enjoyed the dock and yard as well as the enclosed porch. It is a great get away from regular hurried life. It’s close enough to town without feeling like you were in town. We will definitely come back again..

Summary: The 4 star rating was given due to both Kayaks being youth size. This was one of the main reasons we booked this place and my husband was unable to use them. The other reason was the pedal boat and because it was missing a bushing, it was unusable until the last 3 days. Something is still wrong with the pedals which makes it difficult to use. The space itself is clean and cute and the back porch is awesome! The neighborhood is super quiet. Feels like you’re the only ones there.Also, there is quite a bit to do in the area for outdoor activities.

Summary: Me, my husband and two pups stayed for 4 days, 3 nights for opening day of scallop season and to visit grandchildren. We had major issues with the A/C unit the entire visit. Very hot during the day although did cool down at night. Had to have an A/C tech come out twice. Found an issue with the compressor, as well as the filter was clogged, needed replacing, and the A/C tech told us the owner had control over the "Nest" unit, and had it set at 77. We were unable to control the temp for our comfort. This house has an aluminum roof, and no insulation and single pane windows. In addition, if you have rain, it will flood over the septic tank in the back yard and cause back up with the toilet. The garbage disposal also backed up with water, and when I turned it on, it caused debris, or food to blow out of the sink on the other side. The water was cloudy, and is on a well, and I assume, it is iron causing the cloudiness. The laundry room was locked so we did not have access to it. Just be aware this property is located on a canal as stated, but it is "swamp-like" and there are alligators. We tried fishing and caught a baby alligator. The air-boats go by frequently through the river, and it is very loud, even in the late evening, early morning hours. The owners were very responsive to us, but several times told us to check out and they could refund our money but that was not an easy option to find another place to stay. Issues need to be addressed with this property

Summary: The cottage was just right for our group. It was clean and inviting. We were able to use the small kitchen with ease and there were plenty of comfortable places to sit back and relax. It was wonderful having a washer and dryer to use. The back porch was private and pleasant. When we had some minor issues the owner responded immediately. I would highly recommend this rental!

Summary: We enjoyed our stay. Property was as listed. Would return.

Summary: I wanted to do a staycation and chose this lovely cottage. It is beautiful, warm and cozy! The backyard has access to canal which leads to the river (can literally see the river from deck). I wanted to use one of kayaks provided unfortunately the weather was rainy, windy and bit cold. No matter, I turned on the electric fireplace, made a hot beverage (provided by host) and did some reading on the lanai. Host provides games, fishing gear, full kitchen complement's, linens and blankets all you need to bring is food and additional beverages! This is a wonderful getaway place for single, couples or small family. Host replied to my texts promptly and was very friendly. I’ll definitely be staying here again!

Summary: Wonderful private property. We used the fire pit every night. Spent the mornings out back having coffee and reading one of the many books at the property. We had everything we needed for our long weekend stay. We would definitely go back.

Summary: Do you want to have a relaxing vacation somewhere idyllic, in a cottage with every amenity including an ENTIRE WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA you can kayak into and explore? This place is magnificent, and the hosts have made sure it has everything you could need. Check-in was super easy, and their response time for questions was literally seconds. If you appreciate wildlife, comfort, beautiful forests and rivers, and getting away from the stress of the city, this is where you will find that. My wife and I love the area so much that we're thinking of moving there now. 10/10, I cannot express enough how perfect it is. It's just a few minutes from the amenities in town, but is far enough away that if you don't want to see another human the entire time, you can feasibly do that.
