This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### Christina P. 13 Jun 2025 #### Beware of the steps This home was generally a great experience, however it is not toddler/infant friendly. The steps are extremely steep and there isn’t any gates blocking the steps in either direction. The floors were dirty and smelled like old pee. The spiral staircase is really neat but again, not toddler friendly and still very awkward for an adult. The best part was the top balcony and the hot water in the outside shower. ##### Christina P. ### 8/10 Good #### Hannah S. 6 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice place to stay, dog owners beware The property was nice and clean. The location was great. We enjoyed the hot tub. The only downside was the large number of burrs in the yard surrounding the property. Dog owners, be careful and maybe consider buying some protective footwear for your pups before your stay. Your dogs will get TONS of burrs stuck in their paws. Don’t walk barefoot around outside for this same reason. ##### Hannah S.

Some updates needed (refrigerator didn't cool) and could have been cleaner (smells like wet dog upon entry and a mattress needed cleaning). Overall, we had a great time and would return again!! ##### stacey h.

The house is a lot smaller than the pictures show and the inside furniture was very uncomfortable. When we arrived on Sunday the hot tub was leaking. We called/texted every day for 4 days asking them to come look at the hot tub since we couldn’t use it nor could we sit on either deck because of the constant dripping of water. Finally on the 4th day someone came and we were told we could not use the hot tub. No credit was given to us for the inconvenience. House was not clean upon arrival. Floors were sandy, dishwasher had dirty dishes in it, garbage was never taken out, coffee pot was full of coffee and coffee grinds. No easy access to the beach, only 4 chairs on the deck to sit on, could not change the temp of the a/c so the house was always freezing. We have rented from Outer Beaches Realty several times in the past and have always been happy with the service/house. They have since been bought by Vacasa, and we will never rent another house through them. ##### Edmund F. ### 8/10 Good #### Kayla W. 29 May 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Lots of stairs, but thats to be expected.

The beds were very uncomfortable except the bed in the master bedroom on the third floor The rugs on the bottom floor could really use a deep clean There were no extra towels. There were no beach towels anywhere …..upon arriving. I noticed the coffee pot was dirty. The washer and dryer was quite old. We expected some welcome pamphlets, or a book to tell us what was around the area or even something telling us where the beach access was we had to walk around to find the beach access. overall, we did enjoy our stay. It was closer to the ocean than we expected. We just wish the house would’ve had more amenities. We went down there for my daughter’s 15th birthday. I couldn’t even make her a cake because there were no cake pans to do that. There was no can opener on site. There were no lights on the first deck on the second deck there were two lights, but only one worked. The lack of amenities did not ruin our stay. We made it work ….again The view was outstanding. ##### tracy T.

We loved the wood paneling and the decks, which provide views of both the ocean and sound. The kitchen is well appointed and the main living space has nice tile, which makes for easy clean up with humans and dogs coming in from the beach, which is a short walk away. We enjoyed our stay. ##### Briana B.

We met the owner upon arrival who was very gracious and let us drop lines in the water while we waited to check in since we arrived so early the night before. We love this home. Master bed is incredibly comfortable. Water pressure amazing. View and deck is unmatched. New furniture is great too! Wifi did not work at all and hot tub jets did not work but we were too busy catching live bait for island fishing. This house is perfect for couples or small groups that appreciate sound front experiences. No other house on the island sits on the water the way this one does. We will be back but probably moving to the island permanently next year anyway. Thanks to Charlie the owner and Outer beaches for always providing such a great vacation!

Last year we were able to have a family reunion, allowing everyone to visit with my mother-in-law who is suffering from alzheimer\`s, which was truly a blessing. We love the location! Amazing views of the Sound. Very private and quiet, feels secluded. It has been the perfect getaway from the hustle & bustle of everyday life. Lots of activities for the kids. Love the ability to rent kayacs & bikes, so we don\`t have to bring our own. Sound Therapy has become an annual family tradition.
