Would definitely stay there again! ##### Gail C.

We were a little upset when there wasn’t a spot in the listing saying there was a pet fee but then later found out there was one. The air conditioner was a little whack however the owner said they were going to fix this! It was very clean and has a lovely kitchen set up. We loved the beach here and will be back to the area! ##### Jason E. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara A. 6 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Second time around Our second time visiting and just as last time we had a wonderful stay. We appreciate the fly bags around the wooded area which helped keep the bugs at bay. We remember that being a minor issue especially at night last time with letting the dog out but no issues at all this time. We appreciate the high speed internet and amenities especially in the laundry room. Love the eco-friendliness of things. Again would recommend an extra ac unit in the back rooms or an extra standing fan to help keep things cool but we understand! We look forward to coming back again next year! ##### Sara A. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara A., Leesburg, Virginia 5 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sweet Southern Charm in the woods My husband and 3 year old very much enjoyed our two day stay at The Station. Matt is easy to communicate with. The home is warm and friendly. Our 3 year old LOVED the Fire Truck. We decided to come a few days early while we waited for our Beach House and we agree we hope to do this every year! The house is charming and all amenities are provided with linens and towel. The extra doggy waste bags and doggy towels were appreciated! We loved the privacy but also close enough to grab food to go and the Dollar General is close enough for any last minute grabs. The back rooms got a tad warm and the hot water in both showers were just a tad tricky but overall we loved it and we will be back! ##### Sara A. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 6 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, Adorable place, Sadly won't return The home was very nice, extremely homey and comfortable. Honestly the biggest complaint we had was the showers. The "master" bathroom was pretty much impossible to shower in. The shower has a steady drip stream and the balance between scalding hot and ice cold was terrible. Not to mention it was SO tiny you could hardly move around. My 6'2" husband had to remove the shower caddy to even get in and literally touched the walls while in the shower. The main bathroom shower was just a tad better, once we figured out the trick to get comfortable water. Loved that the owners were accommodating to our service dog, little touches were very welcoming. Matt and Debra were also excellent to communicate with. I will mention though, pest control needs to be better. We did deal with a few roaches, obviously that was upsetting. As much as I hate to say it, we will likely not return to this property as the showering was a problem, the oven needs to be replaced as cooking was difficult due to the electric coils lopsided, a small fridge, and icing on the cake was the cockroaches. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our stay at Abby Station was very relaxing. Close to the beach but also feeling secluded. A big thanks the Matt and Debra for making our suns first time at the beach safe and enjoyable. It felt like a home away from home. We hope to be back soon. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samantha W. 9 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Love the Abbey! We love staying here! This is our third year staying with Matt & Debra and our first year staying in the Station. My husband in particular had been eyeing the Station since our first stay due to the fire engine parked outside. We finally moved from the Safari (which is also spectacular!) to the Station and loved it! Its wonderful to have a washer & dryer in the unit having a toddler along with us, and Matt & Debra always go above and beyond to accommodate our entire family - pups included. Looking forward to next year! ##### Samantha W.

From the moment we booked, Matt was 1 step ahead of me. He asked about our dogs (size and friendliness), sent us things to do in the area with dogs, and was very prompt with any questions I had. The rental itself was awesome. We were greeted with a dog themed wreath, found 2 large dog beds, a cabine first aid kit and baggies for outside. He even thought to have a flashlight by the door for late night potty breaks. What really impressed me was the air purifier and the extension cord blocks in each room with USB capabilities. The only thing that I think could be improved was the air circulation to the bedrooms. Maybe a portable oscillating fan? Other than that, it was amazing. We will definitely look to book again if we come back to the area. ##### Cori S.

We had a wonderful 8 night stay at the station. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything that we needed! The beds were super comfy too! The apartment has lots of room inside and outside. The fire truck parked outside made my 4 year olds day! The owner is super easy to get in touch with and is very kind. I met one of the neighbors and he was so nice and helpful too! We had no complaints and enjoyed everything! ##### Amber W.

The Station was up to date, clean and spot on with the listing. The owner is friendly and available to help if you need him. If I wasn't moving down here I would definitely stay here again. ##### Skylar M.

My family stayed here for a week and having the full kitchen and laundry made a world of difference vice staying in a hotel. Very comfortable, updated furniture, very fast WiFi. Highly recommend! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luke K. 2 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Just what I was looking for Very clean nice ##### Luke K.
