Awesome stay

Next best thing to a first row house. Right on the sound. Sunsets over the water. 5 star view with big sliding doors leading out to decks off the living room up top and bedrooms below. Sheets to cover furniture for the dog. Oversized washer was perfect for beach towels. Plenty of hot water. Some things we wished we’d known: house is next to the main drag. Cars fly by at 45+mph (noisy at certain times of day and I didn’t feel good sending even my teens ahead to the beach alone). The walk to the beach was 6-8 mins with all the stuff. Closest access point was at the end of Hatterask Drive. Crowsnest at the top was closed to renters. Bring your own: hand soap, tp, paper towels, dish soap, trash bags, dish scrubby, beach towels, and all beach gear. Bring everything. The few beach items in the shed are pretty trashed. The boardwalk down to the sound is impassable so the kayak available will mock you. The hardest part for us was the beds and pillows were not comfortable. There were a few maintenance issues but owner was super. Overall a great house with responsive owner. With a few upgrades such as bigger comfortable beds, quality sheets, towels, shower curtains, and some details that really make your stay such as a few days worth of supplies, cooking oil, crab leg / lobster shell cracker, this house could be another level. We had a great week. Food highlight was the Harbor House Seafood Market where you can bring home local steamed shrimp and other seafood with all the fixings.

There is no access to the sound. Please allow access to the sound from the property and cut bushes to enter the sound to use a kajak. thank you

The place is nice but not exactly as described. You can’t get to the sound from the walkway out from the house. It’s too grown up and would need a chainsaw. It also stated there was a spa tub. There was no such thing. Other than that it was fine.

We have 3 boys, 13, 18, and 21. For the first time we let them all bring a friend and brought our dog Lucy with us. The house was lovely! The kitchen was well stocked. We are late almost every mean in. We had plenty of room! The sound sunset views were AMAZING! We chose to drive to the very close Frisco beach access every day that had bathrooms and showers. The beach there was incredible & had plenty of room & life guards. Highly recommend!!!

The house was very clean and the views are amazing! We managed to catch the sunset every night. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we could possibly need and the beds were very comfy! A great place to stay and we will definitely return!

My extended family rented three houses within a block or so, and six of us stayed in Tern Inn. After the rest of the family went home after the first week, five of us stayed a second week at Tern Inn, and that of course was the best week. 😀 The house is very comfortable, with plenty of light, and a great view of sunsets every day. It’s an easy walk to the beach, which we did every day. The house was spotless when we arrived, and it was easy to keep clean, with an outdoor shower that got heavy use, and cleaning supplies already stocked. The dog door on the deck was a great touch, which made it much easier to get ready to head out and to come back while juggling a dog. I know it’s not the part that’s advertised or has any pictures, but I thought that the tall grass behind the house was just gorgeous, waving in the wind. We had a great trip this year and we can’t wait to come back again. Five stars!

Great little cottage with beautiful view of sound and really well outfitted kitchen
