Beautiful home

It was a beautiful house with a great yard for the kids to play. Very spacious dining and hangout area inside with plenty of comfortable beds. Sound is almost in casting distance with tons of local spots to fish. Absolutely the best host we have ever had in a vacation home!!! We cannot wait for our next trip thanks so much jason for all your hospitality until next time!

Best VRBO stay ever!

The property was beautiful, clean, peaceful and the views were breathtaking. The owner communicated well and was so accommodating. We came with a large group for a bachelorette trip and we had plenty of room for everyone to sleep and hang out. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed.We will definitely be back to stay again on a family trip and we are hoping to book later this summer. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a special getaway!

We had a great time during our visit. Host was nearby if anything was needed. House was great, some of the areas were still being built out but nothing we couldn’t deal with. Can’t wait to see it completely finished and hopefully stay again next year. Thank you!

We had such a wonderful few days at the Inn. The pictures were exactly as portrayed on the website. The view from the house was amazing along with the sunset. I couldn't say any more nicer things about Jason. He was hospitable, the house was spotless, and answered all my questions in a timely manner. I can't sleep without a white noise machine and I was pleasantly surprised to see one in the master bedroom downstairs! We will definitely come back again.

Quiet, clean, and beautiful property! Awesome host!!

It was a super clean, updated, and quiet rental. We chose it for a big family vacation to the beach just for space it provided. It was right near the water for fishing and the water provided a nice breeze. For this reason, the beautiful back deck was the family hang out spot for the entire trip! It was an easy property to get to, and the local beaches weren't far away! Host was very responsive! He provided restaurant suggestions among other things. He keeps the house well-stocked with all the kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and other necessary essentials. Which was very helpful! As a fun bonus, this rental property has the most comfortable beds!! We will definitely be staying at this property again.
