The house was perfect for our family.

The house was beautiful and the location was wonderful! Carol was a great host and helped make our stay so nice

We had an amazing week at this sound side home. The bedrooms were comfortable and the kitchen was oversized and worked great for our large family. The kids enjoyed the pool every evening. The walking path outback allowed us to exercise every morning! One upgrade I would suggest is finishing off the end of the pier with seating. I assume there was damage from a previous storm, but this would have been so lovely for evening sunsets. Otherwise, everything was perfect and the owner was available for all of our needs and questions.

The house & layout are very nice. The kitchen and dining areas are stupendous. Pool & backyard are nice. The Sound's water behind the house was disappointing (dirty and poor odor). We had a few unwelcome burps (grill had been poorly maintained and not usable; upper-level A/C was non-functional upon arrival; and had a check-in snafu), however, the Owner/Property Manager was attentive and accommodating (replaced the grill the next day /w a new one; set up A/C servicing which was corrected by end of third day; and quickly resolved our check-in issue). Probably more a result of personal preferences and expectations, the overall rating for me is not great but certainly above average. Again, the Owner/Property Manager was great.
