  5/5

  I do not even know where to start with how glorious this vacation home was. The views were absolutely out of this world. The grounds itself and the unique touches with all the sitting areas,hammocks,lounge areas gave us endless possibilities to relax and play, and the kids had a ball .The house itself was decorated so beautifully and each room had so many nice touches. Our bed that we slept in was beyond comfortable… and from the feedback I got from our other guest their beds were equally as comfortable. Which is rare in vacation homes. The owners took a lot of time and effort to make sure that everything that you needed was there. The highlight was absolutely the pool and the pool house. It was the perfect spot to, relax and enjoy each other. The drive to the beach and the downtown area took less than 10 minutes and offered the most intimate beach and so many unique restaurants and bars and shops to explore. We visited the local YMCA and they were very friendly and let us exercise there with no problem. I cannot say enough amazing things about this vacation home …it is heaven on earth and the hosts of the house were absolutely wonderful to work with. We will absolutely be returning.

  You turn on their driveway and it’s lined with beautiful trees all the way down to the beautiful home! The endless landscaping, flowers, trees, bushes not to mention sitting areas outside everywhere! The inside so spacious perfect for families! Not to worry about bedrooms or baths there is plenty! Outside swings and toys for kids, ping pong table, golf enthusiast can hit the balls right in the yard, foosball, hammock swings, lounges and so many patios and endless grills for bbq gatherings! Then there’s the pool house with a to die for kitchen and a huge pool my family was in complete vacation heaven! Oh let’s not forget the ocean is right in front, watch the sunrise come over it and know there is so much more that God has to offer! Deer running through the fields and endless fishing spots! The town offers shopping, eating, sight seeing and a way to get away from the craziness of being too busy! But also not so far you can’t hop over to VA beach or even Busch Gardens. This is a 10 on the list of homes we have stayed at and you won’t be disappointed either!!

  3/5

  Pros:

  Beautiful property and we had plenty of room for 16 adults and 3 children.

  Large yard, swings, bocce ball, pool, games, fire pit were really enjoyed.

  Host was quick to respond to all questions.

  Cons:

  Code for check in didn't work but luckily cleaning lady provided us with her code.

  Main floor master bedroom/bathroom had sewer smell during entire stay. Host said that septic had been recently treated;nothing could be done. I've lived in the country all my life.In my experience, the odor from a septic system usually indicates a problem. I've never experienced odor AFTER a septic system is treated as the waste has been removed. - Did not offer any discount on stay.

  Guests are expected to transport their trash to the landfill a mile away. I think a dumpster should be provided.

  Electrical concerns - cords around pool hanging; fuses in house needing to be reset.

  The area around the pool has many safety issues. Adult entering the pool area from the pool house sliced his toe open the very first day and was restricted from all beach activities during the trip. Should have the non-slip mats everywhere. Protrusions from the floors causing uneven surfaces should be padded to prevent injuries and identified with caution signs, cones, etc.

  BUGS! There are wonderful places to sit outside surrounding the house and at the pool house, but the FLIES and MOSQUITOES made it unbearable for about half the group. The other half kept the fire pit going and kept close to the smoke.

  The property was wonderful and just what we needed for our group. The location is gorgeous and we can't wait to come back when the weather is warmer so we can truly enjoy the outdoor space, as well!
