From the moment we opened the front door we knew we had chosen a perfect home for our family vacation. The three ground level bedrooms and two full baths were spacious, quiet, well appointed, and spotlessly clean. Two of the bedrooms have access to an outdoor patio equipped with a porch swing, an outdoor shower and an abundance of beach chairs and beach toys – and there is a spiral staircase from that patio to beachfront main level deck. The beachfront deck was a perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee while watching the sunrise. There is also a large deck on the opposite side of the house, perfect for enjoying sunsets. The unique design of the main level provided for enough seating such that our extended family of 18 could gather for dinner. Everything in the home is of high quality, and the home is intelligently furnished with both comfort, durability, and easy cleaning in mind. The upper level, a loft, provided sleeping for five, and another full bathroom – however those in the loft were subjected to all noise made by the rest of us. In addition to the quality of the home itself, the storage shed contained seven bikes which we very much appreciated. The house also came with 12 beach badges! The thoughtful owners – Richard and Linda – called early in our stay to assure that everything met our expectations and were very responsive throughout the booking process. As someone who has rented properties in Stone Harbor for 20 years I can say that nothing beats a beachfront house, especially one that is also located close to town. This was, hands down, the finest rental we have ever had. Thanks Richard and Linda! -Tony E
