    We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! It’s in a quiet neighborhood with stunning views and just steps from the beach. The house was the perfect size, with lovely decor, great outdoor spaces, and a beautifully landscaped yard.The kitchen was fully stocked, and the outdoor wood-fired forno was a fun bonus for cooking. We spent most days walking the beach and enjoying the ocean views. Peaceful, relaxing, and close to great communities—can’t wait to come back!

    We stayed as a family group of 3 adults, 2 seniors, and 1 teen and had a relaxing getaway. The house was spacious with comfortable common areas inside, in the basement, and outdoors, giving everyone room to spread out. Bedrooms were comfy though one person thought their bed was too firm, and three shared a small bathroom.The location was beautiful and peaceful, with amazing views and the occasional farm animal sound adding charm. It was about 10–15 minutes to Mill Bay or Duncan, and the host provided a very helpful local guide. The sand dollar beach was about 100 paces away; while the ramp/dirt access path was too tricky for one of our seniors, we loved paddleboarding in the shallow bay (though fragrant at times). They provided beach towels and an outdoor showerAmenities were generally good: multiple outdoor areas with lots of seating, an excellent outdoor kitchen, and plenty of appliances. We couldn’t use the pizza oven or fire pit due to fire restrictions, and would have brought a propane option if we’d known. The house was well stocked, though a few minor things were missing such as salt or a bbq brush. We arrived during a hot spell and cooling was mixed — the living room had A/C, the basement stayed cool, but only one fan was found for the bedrooms. The property was very clean, with spotless surfaces and linens, though some details felt less regularly tended. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable stay in a quiet, scenic spot that worked well for our family.

    PLEASE GOOGLE "Smell in Mill Bay" before you consider this house.The inside of this house is as promised. Comfortable beds, great cooking kitchen, downstairs space is fun for playing. However: Mill Bay, and in particular, this stretch of beach (Cherry Point) is well-known for a God awful smell so strong that it makes all of the outside space of the home unusable. It permeates even the inside of the home. There is only one mini-split AC in the great room. This does not air condition the bedrooms which get stuffy. You can only sleep with the windows open IF you want to be awakened by the smell at 6 am. The great long table on the side patio? We couldn't eat there because of the smell. The fire pit with the Adirondack chairs? We couldn't sit there because of the smell. We left the home every day for hours to escape it. The beach is a mess of dead sand dollars and rotting sea grass (see pics). The bay water is not always clean either. You have to check daily for a water report on whether Cherry Point Beach is safe. This listing shows shoreline and beautiful views from well planned outside spaces and none of those met the promised. When we approached the owners for a partial refund due to loss of use, see their reply in pics below. They know about the smell and the dirty water, but charge premium high season prices without disclosure of this well known and documented issue.

    We had a wonderful weeklong stay with our adult kids. Beautiful, open and airy home - quiet and relaxing with beach access, fantastic outdoor spaces, chef’s kitchen, board games and table tennis. Surrounded by wonderful areas for hiking, wine and cider tasting, and even engaging with raptors. In short, a great place to reconnect.

    We had a girls weekend at this beautiful property. The weather wasn't the greatest (in November, to be expected), but we were cozy inside and enjoyed the comfortable hang out spaces and the comfortable beds. The beach is right down from the yard and the views of the ocean were restorative. Thanks so much for the stay and the convenience of all the check in and check out!

    Enjoyed our weekend stay at this beautiful property on the ocean. Well stocked and clean. A little pricey for September… could use another bathroom but worked well enough for 3 of us. Beautiful landscaping and view.
