"We can't say enough good things about our long weekend stay! This was our first time in the area, and it was so quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. The views from the home were stunning, and everything was clean, welcoming, and bright—exactly what we needed for a little getaway. My husband and our dogs absolutely loved it. We spent most of our time outdoors, but when we were inside, the home was cozy, warm, and comforting. We slept great every night. The host was communicative and helpful, and we...

"Best VRBO or ABNB we've ever stayed at! Spotlessly clean and so organized to make everything easy for us to enjoy. The shed full of water craft is wonderful. Also, we didn't know the area at all and found Lewisburg to be great for dinners. I highly recommend this property"

"I recently enjoyed a wonderful workcation at this property, which proved to be exactly what I needed. The Wi-Fi was reliable, allowing me to work remotely without any issues, all while taking in the scenic views. The rooms were clean, providing a comfortable and welcoming environment. I did notice some minor stains on the white sofas, and I suggest providing cleaner fabric covers for future guests to enhance the overall experience. Additionally, the charming older house does have its quirks,...

Private Beach Front Getaway at The Sunshine Beach Cottage.
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (61)
"The Bay is beautiful, and to enjoy it from this property all you have to do is open the door and step onto the porch. That puts you within 20 feet or so of the water's edge. The chaises can be brought onto the sand for an ideal beach day in the sun. The house is squeezed in tightly between two others, but there are only two properties to the south and then several hundred yards of open beach; so there's room to spread out if that's important. The house has everything you could need or want and...

"We booked this bayside property for a short family vacation and the house and amenities were exactly what we needed during our time at Hays Beach. There were ample bedrooms and spaces for all of us to relax, the kitchen was well appointed. The beach in front of the house was perfect for our grandson to play in a small pool while the others lounged in chairs or were in the water directly in front of the house. The public beach was a short walk away and we enjoyed seeing all the wildlife on the...

"First, this was a last minute booking, due to our inability to stay at our original rental. Becky was responsive to our needs so we could vacate our previous rental without delay. Next, what I loved about this property, and something you do not get very often is the amount of living, relaxing space there is in this rental. Several areas for groups of people to spread out, watch TV, look at the water, play games, often times while there are several bedrooms, there are precious few places for...
