We had a blast with the pier. The whole time we saw dolphins right beside our pier. It was only a short walk to the pool and beach. Amazing place to stay.

Loved the house. Great for families. Owners must be foodies because kitchen is well stocked for cooking. Only drawback is lack of water access (no ladder or steps) to swim in bay. Great pier but needs a covered area to be able to enjoy during hotter months.

We see more marine and wildlife here then you would staying on the beach. Can’t beat the sunsets. House is super nice with lots of space. Would recommend to anyone.

The house is just like the listing portrayed it to be. Well stocked kitchen with plenty of nice dishes and pots and pans. The spice rack needs replenishing but other than that I have nothing but good to say!

This house was a Perfect family vacation!! Great location to bay and beach. Takes about 7-8 minutes to walk to beach. We enjoyed the screened back porch while listening to the all the sounds the bay had to offer. The one thing I would say that needs some improvement is the cleanliness. We found have eaten cookies on the twin trundle and the whole house just needed a good deep clean/ dusting. But it was nothing that keep us from having fun and making memories.

First, it is a very nicely decorated place and great location. Me and my sister noticed it wasn’t very clean. I called and emailed the office but it was Friday afternoon and wasn’t sure I would get a call back. So we started cleaning. I got a call back and I explained the situation and they sent someone to clean. This caused us a delay in plans. I didn’t expect to have to clean the place. It put a damper on our family time. I would probably stay again if I was sure it was clean.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A little disappointed this time renting Journey’s End... we rented it last summer loved the location, views, everything but this trip the house wasn’t cleaned well. The couches were very dirty, still things under the chairs and couches that weren’t vacuumed, hair and sand upstairs on floors in bathroom, had to email to get someone to come sweep again the next morning. My in-laws had a few ants in the master bedroom closet that they had to call pest control to come spray again also. The house is in the perfect spot, love the new pier next to it for fishing and we enjoyed the screened in back porch, but the house needs some updates like lighting at the back staircase out back deck and the railing is still loose. Needs furniture cleaned and new fan in the bedroom with the bunk beds upstairs it is very loose and swinging. We would love to stay here again with a few things updated. Will definitely check back for changes or updates and hopefully book again.

8/10

The inside was very nice, but could use some close attention to a few maintenance items—just generally not impressed. The kitchen had plenty of pots and pans and all the items you may need. There were some spices, but many were mislabeled and no salt and pepper. And while there were two coffee makers, no condiments to accompany. And we were a little surprised there were no spare garbage can liners for the kitchen. Based on how many people can stay, most wouldn’t think to bring garbage bags—luckily I had a spare contractor garbage bag in the back of my vehicle. The master bedroom bath has a big tub and shower, but the bottom is not friction and can use some stick-ones to prevent slipping. The outside is in need of some attention. It appears that perhaps after the Sally Hurricane a couple of years ago, the property was never really put back in top condition. Just looking at the outside property, you would have questioned what the inside might be like. It would also be nice if there were a few folding chairs to take to the beach. We did use the community pool, but we’re surprised the road was flooded and muddy and in need of re-paving. To sum it up—the property was ok, but for the total price, we would have expected more attention to detail. To be at the end of a 20 mile road, you want the place your staying to be impeccable and inviting and this one just falls a short—not bad, just not great.

Thanks for a great summer vacation.

Beautiful house with a stunning view of the sunset. Location is exactly as described. Beach and pool access are a short walk away. We watched dolphins swimming from the back porch in the morning. We had a wonderful time and would love to vacation here again.

Loved this property! We enjoyed being on the bay side for easy access to dock for fishing and the beach was a very short walk across the street. The bedrooms were spacious and beautiful, beds comfortable and plenty of bathrooms! Loved the views from the porch and the top room. ❤️❤️ ONLY complaint is the driveway is not easy to spot from the road at night and GPS does not easily locate it; very easy to miss if you aren’t already familiar with the area. Overall a minor “con”, property was fantastic and we plan to return in the future!
