Loved the location and having 5 bedrooms for my family! The grass/yard area facing the river was really a nice added bonus. This was our second time staying here and we certainly would stay again.

House was clean and ready when we arrived. Perfect size for a large group. We loved that it was minutes away by foot from the beach. The back patio area by the creek is so relaxing!

The best location and 5 full bedrooms. Parking was not bad, the city lot is close and you pay 11 a day to park. It was also easy to use the spot in front of the house. You honestly do not need a car while staying here.

Great place to stay near the beach

The place is great! It is clean, comfortable, has a shared deck with nice views and access to the creek. The rooms are neat, clean towels in the bathroom. The house has everything you need to prepare meals, and a nice dinning room. The house is close to restaurants, local shops, the beach.

Family Getaway

Perfect spot to gather with family on the river and walk to the beach. The house accommodated our multigenerational family with a bedroom for everyone and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. It’s an ideal location and a very comfortable house! The piano was also a highlight for the musicians in the group.

Great house, amazing location

This house is perfect for a large family wanting to be close to the beach and the village. We parked our car and didn’t use it all weekend. The check-in process was super easy and we didn’t have any issues during our stay.

Mother’s Day getaway

The house was great and slept everyone great. The only issues we had were poor internet and all bathrooms didn’t have locks . The only think that couple have made a better stay is maybe some river toys and some wash area for sandy feet

Beautiful beach front property

This house far surpassed our expectations! We were suppose to stay at another location but unexpected repairs were needed and Jody jumped into action and found us this beautiful location and we could t be happier! Everyone had a beautiful beach view! The beach felt private and clean. The perfect place to stay! Will book again!

The location was very nice. The house was nice but needed updating, such as nicer blinds, new rugs. Also parking was an issue with someone taking the one parking spot in front.

The location is great but to be clear this is not directly on riverwalk but has access to a patio on the river. Also the wifi did not work our entire stay (which sucked as there is very poor cellular reception). I called and the managment company had us connecting to a wifi in the rental across the street, which did not work for most of the rental.

Perfect Location!

Overall the vacation was great! You could not ask for a better location. House was fully stocked and comfortable. The code didn't work when we checked in but the managment quicky updated for us.There were not closests in any of the bedrooms so we had to hang our clothes in the hall closests. Met the owners and they were very, very nice. I didn't realize we were to share the deck on the water but it was only one day and it was fine. It's noted there's not dedicated parking, however, parking in the Village is easy even on a busy week. Best location there for a large home!

Lovely location

Our stay was wonderful. Because we have stayed at this home many times over the years, a few things were not as we have the pleasure of experiencing on the past. 1. Fire Pit on the Riverview deck 2. The back deck was not organized (table and chairs were stacked and not cleaned)…the owner was present and had his tools in the deck area making it awkward for us to allow children to play. 3. The oven took an extremely long time to pre-heat and the warmer drawer did not work. 4. The house vacuum left more debris on the carpets than it picked up so may need maintenance . I realize the recent storms have had a negative effect on beach area homes and I understand what a toll this has taken on this pristine environment. All in all, we appreciate the opportunity to continue our family memories in our favorite beach community. Thank you.
