It was ok
The stay was great if you don’t mind cameras watching you. Propane tank was empty, couldn’t sit on balcony because straw would go up my ass from the crappy chairs. Stove top was dirty with mysterious fluid. It was what it was. Plenty to do in area. Plenty of undersize crab available- we threw them back.

Great access to the water!
We really enjoyed our stay! We spent a lot of time on the screened-in porch and on the dock. Caught lots of crabs, harvested some oysters and had some great meals with them. Access to the water was our prime reason for renting and this place did not disappoint! It is roomy, beds are comfortable, kitchen is well stocked with quality cookware. If you're a bug magnet like me, be sure to use spray—even on the porch—those "No see-ems" are ferocious! Owner is a good guy who seems to really want his place to be enjoyable for his renters—communication was great!

Good place to stay
The only thing I could say that isn’t positive is that it doesn’t sleep 6 comfortably or with privacy. Randy was a great host and its a beautiful location.

Quiet, secluded
My husband and I wanted a quiet get-away for a few days to unplug and relax. This property is the perfect place for that! It is a beautiful.setting - we took advantage of the canoes and even went crabbing. It rained one day so we decided to drive into town (15min) to visit a lovely antique mall. Perhaps we were inspired by all of the wonderful antiques which decorate this house! Randy (the owner) is very accommodating and responsive to the questions we had. The T.V. reception is questionable at times, but there are many movies available on DVD. We enjoyed the huge screened in back porch and sitting on the dock watching the osprey (never did see the eagle but we saw his nest). Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

We had fun crabbing off the dock. Using the canoes was a good way to pass the time. Kids had a blast. I will say there is not 3 bedrooms. Upstairs there is one official bedroom. The second bed is in an open area at the top of the stairs. The 3rd bedroom is just the pull out sofa in the livingroom. It was fine for us with just two kids who shared a bed but if other couples are going that would be nice to know. We had originally booked this place because it had a boat ramp. Upon booking and speaking with the owner I was informed that our boat could not go out from his ramp and we had to still drive to a local ramp. Which was not far but again that was the main reason for booking this house. His ramp is more for just the canoes and jet skis. Also the dock pictured in listing where the boys are crabbing is not his dock. It is the neighbors dock....which is another reason why we had thought we could put our boat out there. If you are looking for a very secluded place to stay this is a great place. We enjoyed the quiet for sure.

Hacksneck 2023 Vacation
We had a great vacation at this house with our friends and family. The water was deep enough for us to keep our 21’ Mako, even with the low tide. We enjoyed several meals of fish and crab caught right off the pier, or off our boat. If you don’t have a boat, there are also kayaks and canoes to use to take in the scenery. The screened porch was great for getting out of the sun and enjoying the evenings, when we weren’t sitting by the outdoor fire pit. The kitchen is small, but it has much of what you need, as well as grills and a crab pot outside. There is a combination of antiques and interesting/amusing items in and out of the house. We enjoyed finding something new each day. There are 2 queen beds upstairs, with a pullout sofa and loveseat. Downstairs is a large couch and another pullout sofa. The pullout isn’t the most comfortable, but we had an air mattress that worked just fine. I would suggest a little more storage for guests to store their food and clothing. In the upstairs bathroom, towel hooks would be nice for guests sharing the bathroom. There is a Roku upstairs, but if you need tv, you can also bring your own Firestick or Roku for the other tv’s. We were so busy having fun, we didn’t really need to.
