Enjoy your day in our little fishing community, fishing, scalloping, shopping, hiking, golf cart exploring, taking a drive to the beach or nothing at all. When the day is winding down come back "Home" for a quick shower and enjoy a home-cooked meal prepared in our fully stocked kitchen. Would you rather cook outside? Great, you can cook on a Blackstone Griddle (gas provided) or Charcoal Grill (please bring your favorite charcoal). Not in the mood to cook? No worries, you must try the best local seafood and cocktails around. Several of our favorite restaurants are only a few minutes away. Don't forget to watch for the most amazing sunsets!

~ NO PET POLICY ~ We strive to create a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all of our guests. While we understand that pets are part of the family, we have a firm "NO PETS" policy in place for our vacation rental. This decision has been made for several reasons, including: • Allergies: Many individuals experience allergies to pet dander and fur. Even with thorough cleaning, it can be difficult to guarantee a completely allergen-free environment for future guests. • Property Maintenance: Maintaining the pristine condition of our property is a priority. Pet hair, scratches, and potential accidents can sometimes lead to damage that requires extensive cleaning or repairs. • Neighbor Considerations: We want to be respectful of our neighbors and the surrounding community. While well-behaved pets are wonderful, unfamiliar environments can sometimes lead to increased barking or other disturbances. • Insurance Requirements: Our insurance policy for this vacation rental specifically prohibits pets on the property. This is a non-negotiable requirement for maintaining our coverage and protecting the property.
We understand this policy may be disappointing for some, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it may cause. We hope you understand and appreciate our efforts to ensure a pleasant and comfortable stay for all our guests.
We understand and respect the rights of individuals with disabilities who require the assistance of a SERVICE ANIMAL. We require that guests notify us of their intention to bring a service animal PRIOR to making a reservation. This pre-approval process allows us to confirm the animal is a trained service animal, make the necessary preparations and address any potential concerns.
If you have any questions or need assistance finding pet-friendly accommodations in the area, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're happy to help in any way we can.

We were a group of 9, we all come to fish. It provides plenty of space and the hot water lasted through all of us daily. The porch was a huge win for our family. There was plenty of room for 3 trucks and boats which is always a win.
We would stay here again.
What a great place! Despite its small size, it was incredibly roomy and comfy for our large group. Kitchen was well stocked. Mix of police/patriotic and river/coastal decor was neat. And having corn hole boards made our trip perfect. Will definitely try to stay again next time we go scalloping
House was great and it fit our group well. The back room did get a little hot for the kids but we brought some fans. All in all it was a great place to stay. Great place for a large group.
The place was great for our group of 9 scallopers. The back room was a bit warm for the kids but there was a fan they used in addition to the ceiling fan.
FYI the place has a moth ball smell that's fairly strong.
I would stay there again.
We enjoyed our stay. Can’t complain about a thing. Plenty of parking and beds.
There was an overwhelming smell of the home (moth balls). It was a tad much.
