Family Kayaking Trip

We had a wonderful time at this cute cottage! It is clean, cozy, and well appointed. Everyone had ample space and we enjoyed the close proximity of the beach and relaxing on the side porch. We will plan to stay next time we come to kayak in the bay!

A perfect weekend getaway

We had the perfect stay at this beach house. It was exactly what we were looking for! Close to to the beach, spacious kitchen, plenty of room to play games, share meals and lay back. The beach is a 5 minute walk, so it was easy to spend time there whether it was for a full day or a morning/sunset walk. Fully recommend!

Wonderful house very close to an amazing beach.

The house was perfect for us. The host was responsive to our needs. The area was wild and beautiful especially the nearby state park where we rented kayaks to explore the bay. We had a great time at nearby Scully’s Low Country Shrimp Boil. The beach was wide and beautiful with fine white sand and lots of shells, fascinating to see what the tides brought in.

The Cape

This was our 1st visit to The Cape. I would HIGHLY recommend our host. She made everything super easy and communication was fast and excellent. Location was very convenient to the water and dining. You dont have to worry a out a good nights sleep as the host has spared no expense on excellent mattresses in all of the rooms.

Family vacation

We had a wonderful time with our grandchildren! The location is great - just a quick walk to the beach, which was almost empty this time of year! The house was perfect - just enough space for 4 adults and 2 kids to relax in the evenings after a day playing in the surf. The kitchen is well-equipped and we slept well every night in our very comfy beds! Brenna is very quick to respond if you have any questions - thank you for a great experience!

Spring Break

The house was great! short walk from the beach short walk to restaurants and trail down towards the state park for morning walks. Love the outdoor shower, coming off the beach in the afternoon hot and sticky with sand made cleaning off and getting ready so much easier for everyone. The screened in porch with the view of the water was so relaxing, we spent most of our time out there. Would book again😁

Great pet friendly house

The location was perfect, about 3minute walk to the beach and 1-2 minutes outside the State Park. The house was just the right size for our small family and 1 dog. The screen porch was nice to escape any bugs that might show up and the spacious hangout area under the house was nice if a shaded area was called for. Parking was easy also with a small boat. We really enjoyed the long weekend and would love to return soon.

Great getaway

We had a great stay at the cottage. We were 4 adults, 2 kids, and dogs and there was enough room for us all (although upstairs bathroom is pretty small!). The cottage is very close to the beach so easy to go back and forth all day which we did. There are a few minor maintenance issues (missing towel hooks, loose towel hooks, stove light not working, etc) but nothing major - hopefully they will be addressed soon. The beds are also very firm which I didn't love but others thought were fine - some sort of mattress topper would have helped a lot. The couches in the living room are super comfy.

Great cottage at the beach

The wife and I decided to have a short “work action” at the beach. We could not have been more pleased. The house was perfect for the two of us and our two dogs. The beach is a short 2 minute walk away and the covered porch is great for watching the sunset. The only issue we ran into was the A/C going out one time. I contacted the owner and a maintenance man was at the house within 45 minutes. He fixed the issue within a few minutes. Great service!!! Highly recommend.
