Our group really enjoyed our stay at Rankin! The house is in a great location overlooking the beach, and the main deck and upstairs decks provided quite a vantage point for watching beach traffic-(esp. close to high tide), surf fishing, and horses. While we were there, several groups of horses strolled down the beach, grazed in the dunes near the house, and even “clomped” on the walkway beneath the home. There is a view from every single window in the house, and it is well-appointed with kitchen supplies: there are plentiful plates, bowls, glasses, and cookware. There is even a drawer filled with crab crackers. The kitchen counters are unique and stunning, and we were glad that many trivets are available to protect them.One member of our group needed to work remotely one day, and noted that the internet is very slow. We noticed this, as well. One caution for those who have dogs: one of ours alerted us to a ‘TomCat’ mouse bait in the corner of the deck by the grill. If ingested, these can be fatal for pets.

Couldn’t ask for a better spot. Waking up to the sunrise and the sound of waves. We go here to the rankin every year and love it. Nice job on the upgrades also. Hope to be there for many more years.

We enjoyed a weeklong stay at the Rankin and look forward to returning soon. The house has everything you need, with a fabulous kitchen for those of us who like to cook. We really appreciated having a filtered water system and drinking water cooler, plus a separate small fridge for the beer drinkers among us. More importantly, we loved seeing the wild horses that visited the surrounding area and yard one morning. They are absolutely beautiful!The only downsides we experienced were a lot of construction traffic on the beach (but that's all along the 4X4 stretch these days) and the sand strip out front becomes almost non-existent at high tide. So, timing is everything if you need to go somewhere. We preferred staying put to enjoy the ocean view, walk the beach and experience spectacular nature off the grid.
