Bay Front Small Contemporary

8/10 Good

"The location is fantastic but we had a little bit of difficulty finding it in the dark. Google Maps took us to the wrong house, but Apple Maps got us there just fine. The view is amazing and we enjoyed getting in the water. The outdoor shower is a plus and the house was comfortable. Remember to bring towels and bed linens and memorize the door code- we locked ourselves out! Great recommendations from the owner about restaurants and things to do. We also really appreciated that we could bring our dog with us. Thank you!"

Beautiful Bayfront with Sanctuary Private Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This place is fantastic! Our family had a blast here. The beach was nice! Definitely bring the bug spray but for the most part it was just a few hours at dusk and mainly those greenhead flies on the beach. Wasn't a problem with a breeze off the water or a little fire in the fire pit. Read the reviews and we didn't have a problem with the fridge nice and cold and as for the well water.... If you haven't had it before I guess it could be a shock but after a day or 2 hardly noticeable and my kids didn't even notice. Lots of board games and seasonings and things if needed. The store is aways away but I'll take the peace and quiet and the stars over being close to a grocery store! The ac worked really well for the kid to have a cool down. Beautiful spot for sure with the water close, friendly waving neighbors, and lots of room for a variety of activities. The hosts were very quick to respond to questions and provided easy info for check in and check out. We will definitely be coming back!!"

The end of summer is here on Smith Island! Come out for some peace and quiet!
