We had a really great time staying at Olive Branch. Plenty of room for the whole family with college age kids! The location was perfect for walking to a morning coffee or breakfast or spending an afternoon sampling Garwood's famous appetizers and drinks. The hot tub was a big hit after a day at the beach or hiking and we really enjoyed the big space for family game night. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for those families who need places to be together or have some space to relax. Lots of indoor and outdoor nooks to hide away when you need a sibling break :)

We loved the location and the size of the house. It was well stocked and comfortable. We easily slept 7 people with dogs and had a great time. Very close to the beach, Gar Woods, hiking, etc. The hot tub was great and the kitchen well stocked. The only caveat for those traveling with pets is that the fence is not solid and had a large hole (missing planks) in the back so it is not "fully fenced" and we could not leave our dogs in the yard unattended but it is mostly fenced and it was fine while we were there and hanging out with them. Nice large yard for the dogs to explore and enjoy. Would stay here again.

Our family truly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home. The house is large and spacious with plenty of room for people to spread out or spend time together. It was cozy and welcoming! And the kitchen had lots of counter space for prepping family meals. We enjoyed cooking on the backyard deck (We brought our Blackstone from home). There were plenty of towels and linens! Thank you so much for making our family vacation so much more enjoyable and comfortable! We'll definitely be back!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2023
While this home is absolutely beautiful and a great property, the evidence of deferred maintenance is clear once you settle in. This was the second time we stayed at this property, the first being 10 years ago. At the time, in 2013, the home was stunning - well-appointed furniture, plenty of cooking utensils and cookware, a great backyard environment - an all-around beautiful property. This time, we felt like the house had ten years of short-term rental miles on it with VERY little maintenance and care directed at the upkeep of the property. For the expense of this home, we were VERY disappointed by the quality of the property and would caution any future renters of the disappointment you may have if you this you are getting what you pay for.
