A Most Relaxing Stay
We stayed at The Country Porch for 2 weeks in late March. It was a great vacation. The house was super clean, nicely decorated and had everything we needed. It was roomy but still felt cozy. We were very comfortable The grounds are nicely kept, and the various plantings are very pleasing. There are so many areas to relax while sipping a cup of coffee or a glass of wine - the screened porch in the back, the backyard to enjoy the sun, the rocking chairs on the front porch, and the very private side yard with 2 lawn chairs and a table in between. The location is super. Definitely in the country surrounded by homes with large lots. It was not unusual to see farm animals during some of our walks. Though in the peaceful countryside, it is only minutes to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. Eddie & Tina were great hosts. They provided informational materials on the area and recommended things to see and do. They responded immediately at the time of booking and when we had a couple of requests during our stay. We highly recommend The Country Porch for a vacation stay. If we travel to that area again, we will definitely stay again if it is available. J & S Puhek

Wonderful location
My family and i stayed here whilst in the US for a family wedding. The house was amazing, beautifully decorated and stocked with all the essentials and more. Eddie and Tina were helpful and easy to contact. When the dryer stopped working, they arranged for a new one to be delivered the next day. Would recommend to family and friends.

Wonderful 3 week stay in Wildwood. The Country Porch was perfect for us. The hosts were very accommodating when needed. Clean, quiet and comfortable. Plenty of space, including two porches for drinking coffee and listening to wildlife. We already booked the Country Porch for another stay.

Excellent place to stay
Eddie (host) was super responsive and kind. He went above and beyond getting us things. House was very clean, sheets and towels very clean. Excellent location. Quiet neighborhood. Text all the boxes. No hesitation to strongly recommend this home to anybody, adults or family with small children. I’m very picky about where I stay and how clean the place is. This checks all the boxes.

This property and the owners were perfect, the place was cleaned and had all the amenities we needed for a family of 5. They were available if needed but was respectful for our space. Property is gorgeous enjoyed sitting on porch at night with my tea and the adult children enjoying the lizards at night. Thank you Tina and Eddie

A lovely stay in the country
The country porch offered us a beautiful and quiet while also spacious accommodation for our family to stay for the week. A short drive to amenities like banks, grocery stores, churches, while also being out in the country. The house itself was spacious and very clean, with an abundance of linens and towels to use. We enjoyed the porches - front and rear very much especially during the thunderstorms. Some of the storms were very strong depositing multiple inches of rain in a few hours along with heavy gusts right before the tropical storm arrived. But the house held up very well! Highly recommended. Thank you Tina and Eddie for hosting us at your lovely country home.
