The hospitality, kindness and overall feel of the Waterfront Getaway is off the charts! The welcoming, cleanliness & thought of everything when setting up the house is the best we've seen in a long time! We loved our mini-vacation here and will definitely be making this our go to spot in the future!

Perfect Getaway
We really needed a weekend away and this place checks all the boxes! Heather was so easy to communicate with, and very friendly. The second we walked in it smelled so clean and fresh. Everything was amazing and provided. We were able to dock our boat right out back and the convenience of the boat ramp right across the street was so easy. Our dog loved it too! We will definitely book this place again in the future!

Just what we needed…
We just needed a couple of days away from our normal hustle bustle… Preferably with someplace that we could get away to fish. Heather‘s property was the perfect fit for us. Everything was exactly as she had described, and we were spoiled with the ease with which we could put our boat in, leave it in, with the dock directly across the street. Heather is a super sweet hostess, having grown up in that area, she knew everything a true local would know, and was willing to give us all of that Intel! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and next time we find ourselves down in Ebglewood, we will definitely look her up again!

Pirate's Haunt Jan 2023
We were initially concerned by the property location being adjacent to a busy highway, but traffic dropped off rapidly in the evening, so it wasn't a problem for us. Would have liked more green space at the property, but there is a sizeable park within a hundred yards or so where we could walk our dog. Having said this, I would give extra stars for the cleanliness of the property, ease of check-in, and ease of communicating with the property manager as well as her friendliness and willingness to accommodate us. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
