Magical is just the beginning!
I would like to say “you wont like it” so I could hoard available dates all to myself, but I can’t lie, Bob and Wendy’s home was everything we could have hoped for and much more! The home itself was a wonder to behold, as you could see the effort and labors of love built into the exterior and interior of the house. The woodwork detail is amazing. The house is very open; the photos really don’t do it’s spacious rooms justice. All furnishings were very well kept and quiet pleasant. We arrived to a super easy check-in and a very clean home. All bed linens/pillows were provided, but remember to bring your own bath/dish towels.
The house is nestled away towards the sound on the 4WD beach and is wooded all around so you have the ultimate in privacy. This secluded aspect is the perfect setting to enjoy nature, including DAILY wild horse visits. We were able to watch two different colts nurse as their mothers grazed most days, it was truly surreal. Evenings spent in the hot tub almost always resulted in an evening viewing of 1-7 horses grazing beside the deck. There were many little green tree frogs and dragon flies all around. With all the wooded beauty, you want to remember your bug spray. We fared well most evenings but did need repellant a few nights.
You can choose to walk (about 3 blocks or less) or drive to the beach, parking passes (with helpful info printed on them) are provided for use while there. Beach chairs are provided for use along with a water hose close to the front porch to clean your feet off upon return. Bob was extremely helpful in keeping us abreast of the current tide conditions so we could plan accordingly. He provided us invaluable advice, including letting the air down to 20psi on your 4WD tires (trust me, you really should) and informing us of an incoming storm that brought higher than normal tides. The storm produced a shell-hunters delight the following three days, along with a view of several live conchs, clams, and a huge (but dead) Atlantic sturgeon. Just amazing!
I really can’t thank Bob and Wendy enough for sharing their wonderful home, this has certainly been one of the best vacations I’ve experienced. My normal idea of vacation has been forever changed and I look forward to finding the next available dates so I can return to this magical locale soon. Please please please?
