Family vacay

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.

Relaxing and beautiful!

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!

Fishing at the bay, walk to beach, and pool time!!

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.

Bay Vacation

The home was exactly as advertised and very beautifully decorated. Everything was perfect and the walk to the ocean was short and safe if you had small children. The only thing I would recommend to be looked at would be the railing on back steps. Very loose and unsafe for children that didn’t know better and leaned on it too hard. All were adults in our group and steered clear of them to avoid any accidents or injuries.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

I don’t even know where to begin! This house is absolutely perfect in Every way!! It accommodated 10 of us very comfortably! Plenty of space, comfortable beds, great couch and sitting area for most of us to hang out and watch a movie. The screened in porch was the best part, especially to my husband. He stayed out there the majority of the time and said he could retire right there!! The VIEWS!! All day long you had beautiful views! The house was secluded and quiet. Just what we wanted! We fished, kayaked and swam right beside of the house. The beach was easy to get to. A golf cart would be great to rent but we drove over and dropped off! Worked perfectly! The most relaxing vacation we have ever been on! Book it! You will not be disappointed!!

Needs to get a better cleaning crew

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.

Fall Vacation

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.
