Sunrise Waterfront Cottage with Dock & Kayaks!

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (20)
"We had a great time here. The property was exactly what we were looking for. It was remote and quite. We loved the dock and water access. We fished off the dock two days. Pulled in a couple of medium sized Red fish and a few other smaller varieties. This would be a great fishing spot with small kids. Beds were super comfortable. "

Relax & Renew in a WATERFRONT Cottage , private pier, kayaks, fishing, wineries.

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (50)
"We had a chance to spend the weekend with our kids (age 18 and 20), and we couldn't have asked for a better location. The view was spectacular and the home was perfect. It was so peaceful and relaxing, yet there was so much to do—fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, ping-pong, darts, board games, the list goes on. Everyone had a fantastic time. The only problem is that were only there for three nights!"

The owners are wonderful and communicated with us wonderfully. We would give it a 10 rating if possible and will certainly be back. One of our best vacations!"

Hays Beach House - Hot Tub - Private Beach

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (4)
"We booked this bayside property for a short family vacation and the house and amenities were exactly what we needed during our time at Hays Beach. There were ample bedrooms and spaces for all of us to relax, the kitchen was well appointed. The beach in front of the house was perfect for our grandson to play in a small pool while the others lounged in chairs or were in the water directly in front of the house. The public beach was a short walk away and we enjoyed seeing all the wildlife on the...

Waterfront Cottage in Piney Point w/ Kayaks!

7.6 out of 10, Good, (4)
"First, this was a last minute booking, due to our inability to stay at our original rental. Becky was responsive to our needs so we could vacate our previous rental without delay. Next, what I loved about this property, and something you do not get very often is the amount of living, relaxing space there is in this rental. Several areas for groups of people to spread out, watch TV, look at the water, play games, often times while there are several bedrooms, there are precious few places for...
