The owners made everything SO perfect for our family reunion. The house was very clean, plenty of hot water, and the AC was flawless in a week of 100+ temperatures. Although it is an older property, the kitchen appliances were updated (and the 2 refrigerators were a huge success). The washer/dryer were large, clean and invaluable for a week at the river! The dock, grill, spacious yard, etc. made this property exactly what we needed. Country living at it’s best, with perfect sunsets over the Rivah. Thank you Patrick and family! ##### Raymond & Deborah B.

Property owners had no control of the weather and I had envisioned nice mornings to sip my coffee outside. Hottest June I can remember! But even with the heat and humidity I could have my coffee outside until I had to go in around 7:00am. It was what it was- an older home by the river with beautiful sunsets and room for updates. What one of us has not had to live without all the conveniences of home when on vacation? Any shortcomings were overcome by the laughter of grandchildren, friendly “jabbing”between adult siblings, fishing into the wee hours of the night, board games played on the dining room table, the smell of fresh coffee, bacon, eggs, and pancakes in the early morning and the sweet good byes when time came to go to our separate homes until the next special occasion comes about. Make the memories and cherish the time you have together at this house or where ever you find yourself! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7bfc715f-d8c0-4fcd-9daa-762f8c9401f6-1751230770256.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/edd7867d-2584-4936-a278-36db68a149a1-1751230769430.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c5a89973-0462-4628-8da3-cc9c1ca17a31-1751230769372.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a283593f-f9ec-4149-83e0-e0fd86d3ae51-1751230769596.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lana O.

The grandkids/kids enjoyed hours of jumping off the dock and the water toys included. My husband enjoyed being able to have his boat secured at the wonderful pier/dock with fish cleaning station. We sunned, went boating, caught lots of crabs, enjoyed beautiful sunsets and cooked on all of the outdoor options available. Lots of outdoor space to gather together. I especially loved the outdoor shower and appreciated the comfortable beds. My only complaint (and it may be good for others) is that we brought lots of supplies and food to cook meals for our large family and there was not much room in the refrigerators and cabinets because of the owner's supplies. I just stored what I could in bags and it all worked out. The longer I was there, the more I fell in love with the place. ##### Judy C.

It felt so familiar to the river house & property we’d stayed at for 18 yrs. We saw many osprey, a bald eagle and many porpoises We fished caught crabs and enjoyed the magnificent sunsets. The screened in porch was a perfect place to socialize and reminisce about all the fun we had that day. Wouldn’t hesitate in renting this again.

The house needs some sprucing up and some updates but you can tell the owner is making progress on getting things fixed. Overall the house is charming and the property private and enjoyable. ##### Danielle K.

Our family enjoys water activities, and you cannot get any closer to the water than this property! We much appreciated the provided crabbing and fishing equipment/gear, kayaks, canoe and 'floaties!' We prefer staying in older homes with character than fancy hotels, meaning the house was just right for us! :) We wish we owned a boat.....that would have made our vacation 100% perfect! If you want a vacation location around the corner from stores and restaurants, then this may not be the place for you, but if you want to kick back and enjoy quality time with family and friends, this is a great place to do just that! ##### Michele S.

We absolutely loved our stay! We had kids ranging from 7-14 years old, and there was plenty of room for them to play and run. We all enjoyed the relaxation, beautiful sunsets, and comfortable home. ##### Stephanie P.

Extremely quiet and private. This is NOT a resort area just a quaint former fishing village. Great facilities for bringing your boat. Beach size varies with tide cycles but was very adequate. House is close to 100 years old but has had a lot of renovation. We were anxious about 5 people sharing a bath and a half but then we discovered the wonderful open air outdoor shower. It got more use than the indoor shower. Owner has provided every imaginable water toy and convenience. Only drawback was limited internet (tv was internet based and buffered excessively. Provider problem not owners fault.) And then there are the sunsets!!!! Have your camera ready. They are wonderful and different every night. ##### Stuart J.

This is a very comfortable, warm and traditional River house. The furnishings are fresh and fun and the property is equipped with everything needed to have fun on or in the water. The waterfront lot hosts magical sunset views, good fishing from the dock and is very private. ##### Ann R. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ---
