Was duck hunting out of Atlantic. House slept 4 and had all necessary amenities.... except salt (salt, salt wheres the darn salt :) ). Host and hostess were great! Guides boat was 5 minutes away for early start

This was a lovely place to stay. The kitchen is huge and is well equipped, which was great because there are not a lot of places to eat out in this area (the days and times they are open did not suit our schedule). The screened in porch was fabulous and kept us safe from the mosquitoes (bring bus spray!). We had a few issues with 2 of the bedroom doors that wouldn't close, and the bathroom door that wouldn't latch, but we made it work. The owners were quick to respond to all of our questions. If you want a quiet getaway, 20 minutes from a very kid-friendly beach, where you can sleep in comfort and relax, this is the place to go. Thank you for having us! We loved our stay here.

A lovely home. I wish it was closer to a beach where one can sit.
