We had a great time! Jimmy was very accommodating and we loved his place. We loved fishing off of the dock and just a short boat ride away from beaches. Perfect trip for the family.

Pictures do not do this property justice. The location was ideal for 2 small families. We found this home to be the perfect place to relax following our island beach trips (Bull Island/Capers). Jimmy was an excellent host and had a wealth of knowledge about the island. We 10/10 would recommend this property and will stay here again. Thanks Jimmy for the memories!
P.S. Our favorite spot every evening was enjoying the summer breeze on the front porch while the kids played games and ping pong.

We had an incredible time. We’ve been in several houses on the island and this was our favorite. Had one rainy day and without bringing anything we had plenty to do to fill our day with fun. Not a wasted second of our stay.

The Smiley Face House is so much more than we expected! The house is absolutely gorgeous and beautifully decorated. The porches. The docks. The entire property is amazing. Mr. Jimmy's hospitality puts the southern charm on the visit. He makes you wish you had more time to stay and wanting to come back.

Property is "off the grid" and access by boat only made it even more appealing! It is a great respite from the daily grind!

We loved every minute during our 2 night stay! Jimmy is a fantastic host. The house is very comfortable and clean. Sitting on the dock, cooking dinners, playing ping pong, enjoying the fire pit were just some of the highlights. We can't wait to return. Thanks again, Jimmy!

Our family needed to reconnect and this property was the perfect chance to do so. Gray Bay was beautiful and we loved the dock and porches overlooking the ICW. My son enjoyed catching blue crab and my daughter enjoyed casting for shrimp. We couldn’t bring our boat but were able to rent one at a reasonable rate from Towlers Cove Marina. Jimmy was an excellent host and made this rental the perfect location. We highly recommend Jimmy for the personal touch and his Smiley Face house.
