Great for a Family Vacation!
Overall the place was great, clean, and comfortable for 8 adults & 3 kids. There were 4 kayaks & 2 bikes we used & a small swing set that was perfect for the kids (all under 5). Kitchen and grill worked well for what we needed & the location next to Old Saltys was great to listen to music in the back yard! One important thing to note is that it isn’t really waterfront - more water adjacent. You have a clear view to the bay, but there is not any beach area for kids & you can’t access the dock unless you go back down the driveway & up the road to another driveway, probably about a 10 minute walk with the kids. The road isn’t too busy but there isn’t a sidewalk, so not ideal for little ones. I think this is a new dynamic, since the house next door recently sold & the new neighbors are unwilling to share use of their walkway across their yard. Neighbors on the other side have a small beach that is pictured in the listing, but that is now also fenced off & marked as private property. Highly recommend bringing a small pool if you have little ones!

Best Family Getaway!
This location was great! The perfect remote place to unwind and relax and play games with family all while being on the waterfront. We took full advantage of all that this property has to offer from the dock to the sandy beach areas to sunsets, fire pit nights, family games on the porch and lawn, and live music at old salty’s. Don’t forget to order a bushel of local crabs…. They were spectacular!! Both Cassidy and Kelly were great to deal, answered all of our questions, and were super helpful and had great recommendations. THis is a great area to explore, all of the people that we met were genuine and very welcoming. I would highly recommend this location as your family’s next getaway.

Relaxing weekend on the bay
We had a great, relaxing time here! The house was very spacious, and we took advantage of its proximity to the water. We also got to enjoy the shaded back patio and the fire pit. Kayaking out on the water was a highlight as well. It was perfect for a big group looking for a low-key weekend on the bay. We would love to return!

Amazing location, lots of space and plenty to do.
We had a really nice time at this property. It was as advertised and nicely decorated and there was ample space. The small “beach” was perfect for small kids and if you like sea glass it has TONS. The kitchen was good enough and had plenty of stuff. He owner brought us something that was missing and was very responsive. All Around nice stay and would recommend.

Down by the bay
Our family stayed here for a last minute summer trip. It was so worth it. We brought along our two Aussies who enjoyed the private beach area just as much as the kids did! With younger kids the bay was the perfect “beach” for them without the harsh waves of the ocean. The home itself was gorgeous and had everything you needed. We enjoyed the kayaks during our stay and found so many beautiful shells and sea glass!

Incredible family vacation
House was perfect for our family, ranging in ages from 1-72 and our pups. The front and backyards were big enough for the whole family to run and play, which we did plenty of, in between grilling and smoking on our smoker. Gorgeous views and breathtaking sunsets daily. I brought a couple of our own kayaks and loaded up the truck with ours and the ones provided, and took a tour with my grown sons...time I can never get back with them. Everything was perfect and we made memories that will last us forever!

This home is very nice, very clean, and the setting is marvelous. We went to the Harriet Tubman museum and the wildlife refuge that are nearby. We also rode bikes around the island and did some Kayaking. The restaurant next door is excellent too. All and all, a very nice getaway for my wife and me.

Great Family Beach House
My family and I stayed here for the Thanksgiving weekend. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook our Thanksgiving meal. We brought a small card table to extend the kitchen table, which fit nicely. The house was also stocked with enough towels and toilet paper for all of us. The house was clean and we all loved the beachy decor! The outside was beautiful, and even though it was cold we still were able to walk over to the beach area and enjoy the views of the ocean and sunset. Overall, my family had a great holiday at the house.

Just what I needed!
This was a very relaxing get-away for a few days for me and my family (my 2 grown kids and my sister, along with 4 dogs). The house is comfortable and spacious, with a beautiful view of the bay. We had perfect weather, which was icing on the cake - we spent hours on the little beach with the dogs, who thought they'd died and gone to heaven. Cassie, Kelly and Jerry were very responsive to our needs and genuinely wanted our stay to be perfect. The house was clean, beds very comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed. Loved sitting on the front porch watching the beautiful sunset over the bay. We fell in love with Hoopers Island and even looked at property there for ourselves. This place is a hidden gem and wish I could have stayed longer. Thank you Cassidy and Josh for being top notch hosts!

Family Get Together & Getaway
This place was a God send with it being accessible by car for all of our family members and providing everyone with separate bedrooms, it was perfect. After viewing the site online everyone agreed that it would be large enough to accommodate what we wanted. The few questions I had (before and after arrival) were answered in a timely manner. The house and landscape were awesome. We enjoyed the porch with all of the available seating and watched the sunset every night. The brief walk to the water afforded us a chance to fish and crab. Having the 2 grills available and ready for use was a plus also. Everyone left relaxed, refreshed and asking - when can we do it again.

Wonderful property with unbelievable views, both sunsets and night skies. The house has plenty of room, good kitchen, and steps to the only sandy beach area in site. Plenty of room for kids to play, and for adults to do... whatever they want to do. Very quiet area - perfect escape from the city. Just remember to come fully prepared, as the closest true grocery store is about 35 minutes away. Again, the sunsets are legit and beautiful, and the night sky is the clearest I've seen in this state.
