Amazing property!
This was seriously one of the best rentals we've ever stayed! It was very clean, all the "extras" were of great quality and very well thought-out....extra blankets, fully stocked kitchen with every appliance you could need, ample towels and bath supplies, complete outdoor rec gear; just to name a few. The neighborhood was quiet and the view was amazing! I can't say enough about the quality and attention to detail this house had. Thanks for everything!

Beautiful house with amazing view!
The house was very clean and cozy! We really enjoyed kayaking on the river and fishing on the pier!!! The food out in town was tasty as well. However the best part was fishing on the pier at 0700 with 4 bald eagles flying over top of us... Total peace and amazement, thank you so much for having us!!!!

Best river cottage ever
The cottage was fantastic! We only had a short time there because my daughter got married at Wilton House Plantation. The cottage was very clean and well maintained and had everything we needed and more. We plan to come back this upcoming summer for another visit to enjoy the kayaking and the outside fire pit area. It is so quiet and peaceful, and the view is gorgeous! Rent this place and you definitely won't be disappointed!

5 star property
One of the best VRBO's we've ever stayed in! The property was extremely clean and exactly as described. We appreciated the little touches by the owners - jars of individually wrapped q-tips and make-up remover, fluffy bathroom towels, a full candy jar stocked with chocolate just to name a few. We would definitely return to this property.

Heavenly
Even though hurricane Ophelia showed herself, we had a perfect stay.. the river held its own beauty, showing off whitecaps and stormy clouds. We were just as cozy as we could be on the screen porch, and loved every minute of it. Once the storm passed, we were able to fish and crab from the dock, and do well in both. Definitely one of our favorites VRBO stays and we will be back.

Instant calm!
From the minute we walked through the door, we felt instant calm. This is one of my top 2 vrbo experiences ever! So clean and welcoming with so many amenities. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, cooking utensils, you name it which was helpful since we cooked so much due to food allergies. Quiet neighborhood in a very welcoming town with so many sightseeing areas within 45 minutes. The highlight of this rental is the amazing, large screened in porch and private dock with a picnic table. We made sure we were home each evening to enjoy the sunset and then enjoy the porch listening to sounds of nature and breathing in the pine trees. While we didn't get a chance to use the firepit, kayaks, etc. we will definently be back to try everything out. The owners have truly thought of everything!
