We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet that this home provided. We weren't lucky enough to catch any fish but were able to catch about a dozen blue crabs! This home provided everything you might need to get away for a while and decompress!

Cozy but Roomy Getaway

Beyond being a lovely house, we were impressed by how much space we had available. We had four adults, each of whom had their own room and their own bed—usually oversized—with several beds to spare and more comfy common areas than we could fully take advantage of. Next time I’ll bring more friends!

This was our second time staying at this property. Just as homey and comfortable as the first time. The pups enjoyed their stay as well. We explored different local towns and spent our Saturday at Stratford Hall. Looking forward to calming back again!

We enjoyed our stay! The house was spacious and clean. It was well-stocked with games, movies, and books. The back deck was a peaceful place to be in the mornings, in the sunshine, with a view of the river. The beach is a 5 minute walk from the house. The kitchen had an assortment of items - we would have appreciated some tupperware, or tin foil/cling wrap, as we had no way of storing leftovers appropriately between meals. Overall, we had a restful stay and would definitely come back!

My wife and I (plus bother-in-law first time there) and our two pups came down for the festival at Stratford Hall. We have used the house three times now and it has been a joy and wonderful experience. The pups enjoyed the walks to the beach. Maria is a wonderful host!

Wonderful home & location!

This was such a great place for our family to stay. We traveled for a family wedding nearby, and wanted to have a few days to catch up with family in the area. Initially we thought about getting 2 hotel rooms, but decided to try this home instead - we are so glad we did!! You can see water from every window. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. The host was very responsive and we had no issues at all, just a relaxing great time!

Family Vacation

Our family had a great time at the Kinsale Cove this year. Crabbing and fishing from your private pier is great. We bring hand lines to crab and in 5 days caught 70+crabs. They were delicious. The fishing is fun for the kids. We caught drum, croaker and spot. The new back deck is awesome. So nice to sit out there in the evenings relaxing by the water. Thank you for hosting us again this year!

Beautiful spot

If you want quiet and relaxation, you will find it here. The cove is beautiful. There was no one around. We enjoyed afternoons on the dock in the shade. Our kids enjoyed fishing and crabbing. We brought our own paddle board to explore. The house is very welcoming for dogs and had everything we needed! I would love to see addition of a patio or screened in porch in the future or possibly some kayaks! The host was very responsive.

Great house for stay with family

We had a nice stay, the house is a good size space for everyone, and the ping pong and foosball tables were a huge hit! The windows that surround the house to see the water from two views is beautiful. The only down side is that there is only one full bathroom, but we knew that when we booked. There was an issue with the door lock, but once we got a hold of the property manager who connected us with the owner and it was taken care of quickly and easily. They were both very nice and it was no problem.
