Incredible
This was a family spring break vacation. Both of my grown daughters and their families met us here and we throughly enjoyed our stay! There’s nothing wrong with the golf carts, you just have to make sure you plug them in a charge them properly. We own golf carts! The kitchen and laundry room have everything you need. There’s extra towels, enough TVs so that everyone can watch their own shows without competition and the views are absolutely INCREDIBLE! One evening we watched the most beautiful sunset with a bald eagle perched in a pine tree next to deck watched it with us! How majestic! I can’t begin to say enough great things about the host! I had several questions and she was right on it❤️

Glorious
My wife and I decided to escape February in the North East. We are deciding if the area suits us for relocation. We couldn't of picked a better house for us. Plenty of places to relax and work from.The Sunrise over the the marsh between us and the ocean was glorious. The view is enough for us to come back again. Melody was a gracious host responding quickly to our needs. I think next time it might be the entire winter.

Amazing view
The house was beautiful and large enough to accommodate several adults and children so we all had our own space. The neighborhood was quiet with several amenities. We loved the neighborhood pool and all the different beach access. There is a lot of stairs in the house which was worrisome with a little one but would definitely recommend this house and would stay again!

Beautiful, quiet getaway on a low-country gem.
We were thrilled with our stay on this property. It is a gated community. It was quiet and peaceful. Absolutely, stunning views. The little town, is far enough away from the beach traffic, but still a convenient short drive to restaurants and stores.

This is our first time visiting the island! Cute house and a nice location- we saw so many dolphins and there's several pools in the neighborhood. There are lots of stairs at the house, so be prepared! Unfortunately the golf cart was out of service for the majority of our stay, which was really inconvenient for us (it was a deciding factor for this location versus others for us). Other issues were resolved quickly by the host. Overall we had a fun time.

The house had everything we needed and provided ample space for our group of 6 (4 adults, 2 kids) to have family time together while also having separate areas to hang out too. The marsh-to-ocean views are wonderful!

Peaceful luxury
Couldn't say enough about Melody and her amazing house that is tucked into a small maritime forest at the edge of an expansive marsh. The views are for days and the home is one of the best we've ever experienced in our VRBO history. Highly recommend. Each bedroom has it's own private balcony (some with screened porches). We were seeking quiet, reclusive, escape for our family with nature and aesthetics being paramount to our choice - this gem checks all the boxes. Book with confidence.
