Summary: We loved this home and location. Although my intention was to stay closer to Raglan, we ended up being very happy with where we were. We paddleboard and paddled across the bay/bar. It was heaven. Plus i love a morning fire with coffee.

Summary: This is an immaculate setting, everything a couple could want, if you want to be away from everything for a few days. We absolutely loved the serenity, views and little town down the road with a nice beach walk. Star viewing is best I've seen. Simply superb! Note that because the house is on a hill overlooking the bay, the kayaks can be a chore to get down to the launch unless you have a vehicle that can hoist them. Not a big deal and we would go back in a heartbeat if it wasn't so far from Charleston, SC

Summary: A very compact and comfotable whare. All that we needed was available, from linen to utensils. The shower was the perfect end to our days, roomy, and the right amount of water pressure.Unfortunately the weather did not play its part however that is beyond control. I hope we left it in order.

Summary: Loved view, comfortable couches, thoughtfulness of kitchen and towels etc, host was warm and great communication. Retracted from society, but also lovely to see the locals actively using the beach for fishing and boating. Beautiful clean linen, etc only let down in that regard was the mattress for my taste.
