The house was perfect for our party and lent itself to everyone’s interests. The Sunrise and Sunset views were stunning, the best I have seen in the St Michael’s area over a decade of exploring! We arrived in mid-November with foliage ablaze, wildlife every where and a laid back relaxing atmosphere. Matt and Gerry are right in place to guide you through getting to know a new house! Look forward to going back or testing one of their other properties!

Friendly hosts, nice spot. Special !

Incredible property, meticulous and impeccably decorated! The view is amazing and the pool is PERFECT for all ages. I would go back in a heartbeat!! We had a total blast!

It was unanimous for our family of 10 that this was one of the best vacation we had and it was definitely because of the house and property. Everything was more than what we had hoped for. I would recommend Durham-Hythe Estate and look forward to our second stay in the near future. Thank you Matt and Gerry!

We can't say enough about how much we loved our stay at the estate. So many wonderful areas for spending time together or alone with a good book. Unbeatable water views. Perfectly appointed bedrooms, bathrooms & kitchen. We can't wait to come back!

We were 2 families with adult sons and their girlfriends (total of 11) and spent a wonderful long Easter weekend at the Durham-Hythe Estate! The place has a open layout with a spectacular view of the bay. It’s beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor games that kept us busy when we weren’t just sitting in the living room or the v

We recently returned from a twelve day stay at Durham-Hythe estate. We had such a wonderful time and can't wait to return! The property was beautiful and exceeded our expectations. The owners are lovely to work with and responded promptly to any questions we had during our stay. The house is very well-appointed and every room was tastefully decorated. We loved the pool which was quite refreshing, the hanging chairs and fire pit in the afternoon/evening, biking along the quiet, flat road, enjoying the sunrise, hanging out on the dock, boating, making smores at night, playing ping pong and stargazing. We made so many fun memories and are grateful for such a wonderful vacation!

We kept wondering if this place could really be as well located and have such beautiful views as in the listing - and the minute we arrived we knew it was true! Our first impressions entering the house were very positive - like one of those home show reveals - clearly a lot of thought went into the decoration and selection of furnishings. There were also fresh flowers and some other welcoming touches. On such a hot summer day, it was nice to feel the air conditioning working at full force, maybe a small thing, but important when you have 9 people in the house. We quickly choose who would be in which of the four main bedrooms and the grandchildren selected beds upstairs in the bunk room. There was an additional room upstairs that we did not use, so 12 people could easily fit in the house. The next day we checked out the pool and it was nice to see such a clean pool and surrounding area free of cracked tile and decking. We took full advantage of the pool, but did not use the sauna or exercise rooms adjacent to it. The dining table is gigantic and wonderful for the full family dinners. When we settled into the seaside room which ended up being where we spent the most time together, we noticed that the view of the water was blocked by some shrubs when we were seated on the couches - not to worry - the property manager sent a landscaper out to trim them back and wow - what a view! The kayak lift on the dock came in handy to access the water and not have to climb over the rocky shore. We used the two kayaks provided as well as the bikes. It was great to discover a Tesla charger in the detached garage to keep the car topped up for the trip home. Just to balance the review, there were a few quirks, but not enough to knock off a star. The tub and shower in the "master" bedroom were in full view - which some people might love, others not. The bathrooms all look like they were recently updated, which is great, but somehow the grout work looks a bit distracting. Yes, you will have to skim the pool each time you use it - there are plenty of bugs outside, but it only takes a couple minutes to skim and then the water is delightful - not too much chlorine. We ran into a couple small issues and I have to say the property managers were about the most responsive I have ever seen at a VRBO property and everything was quickly remedied. Overall, we really enjoyed our week here and will seriously consider it for future visits!
