Glorious Stay for a Couple!

This was our second stay at the property. Our first stay was fantastic! This stay met and exceeded our expectations! Exceptionally comfortable and private. Bay access is particularly wonderful and appealing. We will definitely book a third stay in the fall.

Peaceful getaway. Babymoon 2025

Very clean and quiet. Tiny but perfect for a couple to have a relaxing extended weekend. Loved the pier, there were dolphins eating very close daily. Porch is shaded and great for meals while listening to the waves. I was a little worried about the neighborhood when we drove in but all the houses are really nice on the water side. Overall great experience and the property owner was very quick to answer any questions and made sure that everything was perfect for our stay.

Sweet, cozy & beautiful views

Our little family stayed an awesome 4 nights! Tacky Jacks 2 was our dinner spot, public beach access at Morgan Town was easy & perfect, the .6 mile away DG was excellent for those last minute beach toys needed. My husband enjoyed the fishing on the pier & made beautiful memories with our little one. They had a fishing contest & she won. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise!

Beautiful sunsets

We loved that the proximity to beach access and kayak access were near enough to this home that we could do both easily. We loved watching the sunset from the bench that appears to be especially designed for that purpose. Would've loved to have a ladder to have paddleboarded right from there on the calm afternoons.

Great place with a new perspective at the beach!

We loved staying on the bay with the dock. We loved fishing, we even got to see a 3ft alligator come up to the dock. The place is small but just right for a family of 4, that’s just there to pretty much sleep. We would definitely stay here again. We brought our 21ft boat, and thought there would be room but the neighbors were super nice and allowed us to park our boat in front of the driveway.
