Very good house

This is a very good house that has the potential to be a really great house. Between the listing & reviews I felt like I was well informed & expectations were met. The owner had excellent communication, location is right on the bay side, great fishing off the dock, clean house, mostly updated inside. Beautiful kitchen & bathroom cabinets. Both heat & ac worked well. The house could use some minor repairs, a deep cleaning, updated bedding, along with indoor and outdoor furniture. Honestly it would be an amazing improvement. Regardless of my preferences, we really enjoyed everything!

Great property especially for the price. Home is not brand new but is clean and well located. My son caught fish off the back dock every night and it is an easy walk across the road to the beach.

VACA AT DI

This is our second year to stay at this same place. Location is amazing! However, the kitchen is lacking on being stocked. There are several areas from last year that needed repair, like walls that had been patched but never painted. From the VRBO pics we were planning on using the boat lift and were told just a few days before that they did not work and we’re not included it the rental. We used one last year. Just really disappointed this year.

We will be staying here again

We definitely recommend this house. The house/property was as advertised. Tom was great in answering our questions. We were a little concerned that we would regret not spending more $ to stay on the beach side but ended up loving being on the bay side and watching the boats pass by all day. Already planning to book again next summer and plan to bring our boat next time. As others have stated, the house could use a little TLC but it was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The deck was great for our 2 dogs and the massage chair was an added bonus after a long day fishing and at the beach. Can’t wait until next time.

Pleased Hudson Family

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The property gives you the best of both worlds! You have the Bay for fishing on one side and you have the Beach on the other side for swimming and fun in the sun. The owner was quick to respond to any questions I had. My husband and I agreed that we would be staying at this Wonderful Property again in the future.
