The location was great and the house accommodated almost everything we needed. The only issues we had were that there were no cleats to tie the boat off to, and it was stated that the boat stall and lift were off limits, and we also had to drive 30 minutes into the island to retrieve the key to the boat dock. The fishing was great we caught a ton of crabs the crab trap and there was a steady supply of bait moving throughout the canal! The house had everything we needed it was well stocked. All rooms had smart TVs. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1289d3ff-da22-4e44-bd7d-2ca0263c996c-1748629676143.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1c3e7cc9-bdbb-4def-adfa-d503f02024cc-1748629682436.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Danielle O.

The home was clean with a well stocked kitchen. The upper deck and lower deck were wonderful to sit and relax. We would definitely stay again. ##### Jana G.

Very Laidback environment. We spoke with a Realtor while there about purchasing a location in the Sea Isle/Terramar neighborhoods. The BEST of BOTH Worlds! The Beach is a short Golf Cart ride away and the Bay offers fishing, boating, and from what I understand some Duck Hunting! Super Cool!! ##### Steve W.

This was our first time at this property. The location was fabulous. It’s right across from the bay on the corner of the canals. It’s a short walk, bike ride, or golf cart drive to the marina as well. The deck has an amazing View of the bay and sunset. The kitchen was well stocked with pots pans plates glasses and silverware. The entire place was very clean. I would highly recommend this property and we will try to stay here again. ##### Kelly K.

Cozy home with a large kitchen. Bedrooms and bathrooms were a bit small but that’s typical for a beach house. We loved the upstairs and downstairs outdoor areas. Excellent fishing (catfish, redfish, croakers, spots and black drums) and room to grill downstairs as well as covered and uncovered areas to lounge upstairs. Management was very responsive when we had questions. House was well equipped with everything we needed. We will definitely return! ##### Kimberly C.

Required a lot of hoops to jump through and extremely strict about their guidelines. I felt like they were constantly assuming I was using the property for nefrious reasons. However, property was clean great location. Great fishing and beach. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy N. 30 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Baywatch Perfect location ##### Amy N.

The neighborhood is very quiet. The scenery is breath-taking. The house is well kept and very clean. We fished in the backyard and caught a few fish. My only suggestion for the manager is to fix the under-water light. We had a blast and would definitely be back. ##### Henry C.
