Spacious family get together

We had a great stay for an 80th birthday celebration. Clean, spacious house with large kitchen and dining area. Bikes and water toys were fun for the kids. Large deck to gather for sunset. Community pool was an added bonus for the really hot days!

Great home for relaxing vacation

We enjoyed tremendously. Lots of activities and room to keep busy at house for entire family. Other than eating out on two occasions, we stayed at house for the week. Jellyfish kept us out of water so enjoyed the pool, hot tub and kayaks on the water. Fishing and crabbing were fun for the kids. We enjoyed the vacation tremendously!

Wonderful house for a large group

This is a beautiful house with gorgeous views of the river and is great for a friend or family reunion! We gathered 6 families, with kids ranging from 1 to 8, and had plenty of room and so much fun! The kitchen/dining area was amazing (and huge) for prepping meals and allowing all 18 of us to eat together. It was super hot when we were there, but we were able to play on the river beach some and take the kayaks out. We spent a lot of time at the community pool, which was great for kids. The house was very clean and had everything we needed! Frank was great about answering our many questions before we arrived.

Beautiful house, perfect for extended family!

We rented this home for our Thanksgiving celebration. Everyone said it was perfect. Some in our family slept in another house around the corner, but all 21 gathered here during the day. Kitchen well equipped. Lots of seating room inside. Very comfortable. Great view of the river and pretty sunrises. Owner very responsive.

Fun family vacation

My family enjoyed spending a few days at this lovely home. The kids had a ton of fun swimming. There were a couple of jelly fish stings but it wasn't too bad. There were plenty of kayaks and paddle boards for everyone to enjoy. The house was well stocked with enough pillows and blankets for everyone. The kitchen was beautiful and well stocked but some of the kitchen pans may need to be replaced with newer ones. Overall it was a great experience, my family had a wonderful time and Frank was very helpful and quick to respond. Thank you!

Gorgeous, well equipped waterfront rental

This house was truly amazing!! Plenty of room for the entire family, My 94 year old mom could stay on the main floor and enjoy the views and activity from inside the living room or on the deck. Every bedroom was comfortable with plenty of room to spread out. So many extras included. Pool table/hot tub was a blast. We also loved crabbing off the dock. Crabs every night for dinner. The beach was perfect for our grand children and the adults enjoyed floating on our huge raft and tied it to the pier at night. This place is truly a gem and we hope to return again. Thank you for sharing your home!

Excellent Property and very responsive owner

The property was fantastic, as described. Crabbing was good. Frank was very responsive at all times. We had an issue with the hot water. Frank and 2 of his workers were there the next day to fix it. We did not encounter any jellyfish where we swam in front of the house. Our only issue was the location is not ideal for doing other things as there’s just not a lot to do unless you drive an hour away. Our teenagers made the hour one-way trip a few times to go elsewhere. Overall, we had an awesome time!!!

We had a fantastic time at the beautiful River House. It was the perfect getaway from our busy surroundings, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed playing pool, swimming in the river, fishing, and exploring the beach for unique rocks and shells. While the nearest restaurants and grocery store are a short drive away, every meal we had at the local restaurants was absolutely delicious!

We had such a wonderful family vacation! The house is beautiful - spacious and accommodating. We had a lot of fun making family meals in the amazing kitchen. We loved all of the water sports - kayaks, SUPs, floats - but the kids (and adults!) loved jumping off the dock the most. Frank was super responsive and just a nice guy. We had a great time and hope to visit again.

A perfect house and location for a family vacation

Absolutely loved the house and the neighborhood. The house was enormous, clean and up to date. The water was clean enough to swim in and there is a small community beach a few houses down. The house had kayaks, SUPs plus bikes. Frank, the host, was responsive when we had questions. Additionally, we lost power due to a storm that came through and the house has a back up generator which worked perfectly.
