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 property has been nicely renovated , and the beds are very comfortable. The house is located directly on intersecting canals which made it a blast to fish out back all day and night. We had a great time and I'd give this rental 5 stars! ##### Alfonse J.

We all enjoyed it very much. The only thing we missed was a large ice maker, in which we got spoiled from because we had it during another rental house back 2018\. Other than that it was perfect ! ##### Dennis B. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jamie P. 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Canal Front Home First, I began receiving texts from a property company requesting a picture of my ID to make sure it was me. It took several days for them to verify it was them before I sent the picture. This has never been required before with a VRBO booking and we book pretty often. Then, both outside trash cans were completely full upon our arrival. I did reach out to the management company and they did send someone out to empty them. The house was pretty basic, but we all felt like the beds could be a lot more comfortable. They were pretty hard in our opinion. Also, we were there for 3 nights with 6 people and were only given 7 flimsy towels for the entire stay. Most houses we stay at are just a little more accommodating as far as comfort goes. Overall though, the house had amazing views and we caught lots of small fish. ##### Jamie P. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marvelia J. 15 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Coastal getaway Overall fishing is great, a little windy at the pier. However not a lot of fishing in the neighborhood channels. The bbq grill needs an update as well as the outdoor sink. The place is very accommodating it has all you need with the help of the marina close by. Recommend this coastal Getaway. ##### Marvelia J. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly K. 8 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great canal spot Our family truly enjoys staying in Sea Isle. 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. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ---
